97 days to Xmas

The Summers over..it's time to turn on the fire..la la la (sung to the tune the party's over)

Yes folks the temperature has dropped half a degree and my work mates are all going down with colds, so winter must be coming. Time to dig out the black jumper and long johns for work. Which incidentally, if I am ever knocked down by a car whilst wearing them ,would die anyway, of embarrassment.

I hate the winter as my mood goes down with the sun. I think some people call it SAD, but I call it a pain in the la de da.

Hard blow last night. I would like to thank a fellow musician for informing me, that putting off having my tooth done ,could lead to heart problems. Cheered me up no end that.

I said that things at work were grim with lack of work. Well that changed drastically in the last few days and we can't move in the mortuary now. It's strange the pattern of life and death it would seem.

Half way through the book about Marilyn Monroe. The dress she wore to sing Happy Birthday to President Kennedy cost £12,000!! It had to be sewn around her body and she could hardly walk in it. It also left nothing to the imagination so they had to sew five lairs of cloth to hide her 2 sticky out bits and her lady allotment (I bet they would have gone for a fortune on e bay if it existed in those days???

And finally. Are Conductors really necessary in Orchestra's .Well this Trombone player did not think so (click the title) p.s it is not real as us bone players are kind hearted souls?

N.B Get well soon to a loyal blog reader who is in hospital again.
