“And what is your resolution to be, Lucia?” asked Georgie, looking up from his petit point. A Tilling New Year by Hugh Ashton

Another Brick In the Wall ~ Pink Floyd

a strong protest from the feline community. Because of the exorbitant prices, their Friskies Fishy Fillet a la Fugu were now a luxury. They planned to show their dissatisfaction by ...

Another Park, Another Sunday ~ Doobie Brothers

d all the ingredients by hand. It was a small price to pay for her happiness and in time she might weaken and allow me to use our new Shreddy Mercury Multi-purpose dicer/shredder/grater with the powerful 2000W motor and the variable speed pulse. When I enquired why I must do it by hand, she replied that the supersonic sound it made when in action, frightened the cats and they went around, for several hours later, with their ...

Some Velvet Morning ~ Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood

so keen about the new menu. She wanted ...

Blue Lips ~ Regina Spektor

bit of a control freak.' This obviously wasn't going to work out. 'OK, Phil-butt. Well leave it there, I think. Don't call us, we'll call you.' 'But...but ...' I hustled him out the door. Maybe I could take over the catering! It seemed near impossible to hire suitable staff. How hard could it be?? After all, I could make a mean mashed spud and who ...

Mr Forgettable ~ David Kushner (can't find any songs using more than just unforgettable)

A Second Hand Turban And A Crystal Ball ~ Bing Crosby

I'm a big fan of EM Forster, particularly A Room With a View and Howard's End. This is equally good, but I got so annoyed with Adela and her lies and the strife she put Aziz through, that I didn't enjoy it nearly as much. I felt the same way about Atonement. India fascinates me too. I very much enjoyed The Jewel in the Crown and MM Kaye's autobiographical books. My Great Grandfather was there with the British Army in the late 1800's, and my Grandfather's sister was born there. I totally sympathise with India wanting to end British rule.

Careless Hands ~ Mel Tormé

Bloomin' heck, Luna! You'll be absolutely over it all! Hope you feel much better soon and can go home xx 😘

manners were something to behold. I hoped he wasn't the kind of chap who was forever checking his hair in the mirror and applying some kind of highly perfumed stinky pomade. Anyway, putting his affectations aside, it was time to test his culinary skills. 'Mate, I'd like you to make me a perfect mille-feuille; eggs florentine with two beautifully cooked poached eggs, and a birthday cake with chocolate ganache. You have ...

Not Fade Away ~ Buddy Holly

I was wondering this too. Hope you're all OK, Luna xx 😘

, another big plus as Rosie only liked classical music, with a little rap thrown in. I needed to find out more about his chef training. He might be able to pull the wool over Daddy and Rosie's eyes by saying he'd trained under the 'great Marilyn Manson' but I'm not that wet behind the ears. I knew ...

Baby, I Love Your Way ~ Peter Frampton

That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be ~ Carly Simon

a chat to him about the now vacant position of Head Chef. Philbert was an interesting character who fancied himself as a bit of a hipster. His luxurious beard was neatly trimmed and he wore his moustache handlebar style. The particular thing going for him was that he was heavily tattooed on every piece of visible skin. Rosie HATED tattooes. He had trained under the great ...

Knocking At Your Back Door ~ Deep Purple

I made a mental note that Brixham City Council employees weren't the brightest bulbs on the Christmas tree so it shouldn't be too hard to worm our way out of any future complaints. Right, time to get back to more important issues. I went looking for ...
