Aw, Fred, what a lovely photo of a lovely couple. Thinking of you today.?

Thanks H. Bet you're a sucker for a good wedding. Cal always was. The number of times our day out was interrupted because we came across a wedding and Cal waited to see the bride.?

I don't type 1 finger like you Fred lol

I have 2 hands Jazz. So naturally I use 2 fingers.?

I'm fine Jazz. Looking forward to my day out.

Following on from the conversation with Roydo yesterday I've already had 2 "episodes" this morning. First was waking up to the scent of lilies, Cals favourite flower, which stayed with me for at least half an hour. Second time this has happened,no bedroom doors or windows opened at the time. Then after getting out of the shower the distinct aroma of Cals favourite perfume, coco mademoiselle.

Beautiful that she is with you on your special day.

Thats nice mate. Never had that sort of sensory thing, but she will know what you will notice. A bitter sweet day today, no doubt.

@Terrarian talking about a generational thing in music.....

I went to the NW Audio Show on Saturday, showcasing the best hi fi .

Must have been about 60 rooms playing different systems and I swear that at least 20 of them were playing either Pink Floyd or Dire Straits, both of which I am fine with but come on guys , variety is the spice of life.

Eventually I found a room playing some Kate Bush , Suzanne Vega and then some Miles Davis , bliss. Only "problem" was the system cost over £150k. Honestly ,I kid you not. Ridiculous but it was like being at a gig.

Wow ,I am surprised you didn't pick up a couple!
The first CD I ever heard was September by Earth wind and fire .It transformed my life I still am in awe when I listen to a good recording of it .
A few years ago I was thinking of updating my system and I had a courier who would bring stuff to Finland at reasonable cost so I went on ebay ,I found these speakers that had had a great review so I asked the guy if it was OK to send the courier .
He told me each speaker weighed more than 40 kilos ,it was then that I realised my idea of a good system was not his .

Morning all, what was a beautiful morning has quickly clouded over. Re The Beatles, we have a friend who is a musician (a drummer) in his forties who just doesn’t “get” them, doesn’t think they are that great musically and can’t see all the fuss. To me they remain the greatest ever and I have only to hear the first chords of a song and I am transported back to my teenage years, I was 10 when Love Me Do was released, given my age away there lol. In My Life is my favourite ever, lyrics are just beautiful and the piano, which everyone thinks is a harpsichord, recorded at half speed to give that unique sound, just brilliant. Beatles plug over, have a lovely day, everyone.?

I have friends here and they bow to me because I went to the same school as John even though he had left before I got there ! I preferred the Stones at the time but now I think they were special just like Michael Jackson was ,both not my favourites or anywhere near .

It was the height of fashion at the time. lol

What I have come to understand as I have got older, never scoff at another persons talent, if I myself cannot do it, so what I mean is, even if music isn't my preference, I'm very wary of using the "crap" for musical genres I don't like as I cannot play an instrument and I cannot sing. The only thing about modern music I really don't agree with is autotuned singing, it hurts my ears.

A few pics of our walk, cows wanted to talk but Daisy was abit excited today so didn't sit with them, she had a paddle though, all the banks are caving in so it is harder for her to get in and out, and there's the farm

Here's a before and after bathroom floor, still to be decorated

Oh I completely agree. Something may have quality but I can still hate it.
Take choral music , my best mate absolutely loves it , honestly I'd rather listen to cars going by , but I can still appreciate the tonal quality of the singer even if the music isn't to my taste , in fact I'd go further and say I despised it.

Gorgeous. Happy memories but sad day too. Thinking of you. Much love x

I know I said I didn't rate Macca but I love The Beatles. George Harrison being my favourite. Much underrated. In my very humble opinion, Something is the greatest love song ever written. It is beautiful.
