I'm reading Nevil Shute's posthumously published novel, Trustee From the Toolroom. Although a lot of the sailing and engineering descriptions go over my head, I'm enjoying the story.

Seven Spanish Angels ~ Ray Charles and Willie Nelson

This is a very nostalgic time for me too, Muggle. With the exception of Donny Osmond and John Lennon (sorry Beatles fans ) I'm a fan of all the rest.

A Sunday Kind of Love ~ Etta James (not this song, but love At Last by Etta James ) https://youtu.be/S-cbOl96RFM

I'm really glad I'm not alone in my assessment. I sometimes think I'm getting over critical in my old age It started well but went downhill from there. At least you can do other things while you listen

People Will Say We're In Love ~ from Oklahoma

Keeping Faith the final series. I've been a huge fan of this series and am so sad it has finished. And also Outlander Series 3. My sympathy lies entirely with the Scots.

Loved the Cazalet series, Marie. Let me know how you get on

A topic of great ill repute... When dressed in one's birthday suit

Rainy Day People ~ Gordan Lightfoot

Just finished this, Marie. I found the characters inconsistent and rather unbelievable. I got particularly annoyed with Blaze's on/off relationship with Joshua. They carried on like a couple of juveniles rather than a middle-aged couple. It has very good reviews, described as witty and comic but I can't say it struck me as particularly humorous. It was OK but not memorable.

Furry Bear If I were a bear, And a big bear too, I shouldn't much care If it froze or snew; I shouldn't much mind If it snowed or friz-- I'd be all fur-lined With a coat like his! For I'd have fur boots and a brown fur wrap, And brown fur knickers and a big fur cap. I'd have a fur muffle-ruff to cover my jaws. And brown fur mittens on my big brown paws. With a big brown furry-down up to my head, I'd sleep all the winter in a big fur bed. A.A. Milne

Are You Ready For the Country ~ Neil Young

There was a young lady from Billingsgay Who never had particularly much to say When she opened her mouth

Sing Me No Sad Songs ~ Helen Reddy

Teach Your Children ~ Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young

What A Wonderful World ~ Louis Armstrong

Do you think it will let anyone join, Muggle, even from another country?

Young Harold had a very strange trick Of claiming that he was called Nick It all went pear shaped

Yes, I saw it too. And To Serve Them All My Days I think?

Time ~ Pink Floyd
