One thing I do know - Bealette 3 had a great day at the pink test yesterday - she was in a corporate box!

I was in Vienna during really bad snowfall. There were signs all over the place for anyone unemployed or wanting extra cash to turn up at a list of locations and help clear the essential stuff and get the trams running etc.

That was quite an interesting approach and seemed to actually work.

Here we are again. Transport grinds to a halt. Schools are shut. Roads closed off.
I think I've found the answer no one else seems to have come up with.
IT'S WINTER. IT HAPPENS EVERY YEAR 'COS IT FOLLOWS AUTUMN AND PRECEDES SPRING. WHY ARE YOU NOT PREPARED?

So far they have refused to show me any of the evidence they have.

GNR Great Northern Railway?

I quite liked Bad Company but they were never really one of my favourites.Nevertheless I've been listening to them this afternoon.

Here they are with a couple of celebrities in the form of Neal Schon from Journey and Slash (Guns 'n' Roses) preforming one of my favourite Free tracks :
Incidentally, it might surprise folk that I saw GNR way back with The Cure at Milton Keynes Bowl in the pouring rain.

Somehow the Groundhogs rather passed me by.

I had a little listen this afternoon and I think I know why  .

Really chuffed with how its turned out.

We did one and liked it so much I had to go and buy another. Good job!

I was astonished at the bare shelves in our local supermarkets during Christmas week. Haven't seen such desolation since Covid/start of Ukraine war. They were only closed for 1 day! We shopped wisely, though, and had a great time.
