Thanks @ianpspurs
 
Poppies today @Lamont D
 
Fbg was 6.0 this morning.

Today being what it is thought I might share this,
The Ennis Sisters performed Sing You Home at the D Day commemoration




Sing You Home lyrics
Too soon to leave this earth
How could all your work be done
Ash to ash and dust to dust
Seemed to me you just begun

When grief invades my soul
There's comfort in a prayer, I find
Though these candles honor you
They burn for those you left behind

Chorus:
I'll sing for you because I need to
Right now this is all I know
You always said you wanted me to
So I will sing you home
I will sing you home

Know that you will live
On the lips of those who knew
What it was you had to give
And what it was they learned from you

This is my prayer for you
And maybe someday I will know
If it helped your journey home
Or if it helped me let you go

Chorus:

We're born unto this earth
Generations one by one
Ash to ash and dust to dust
There is nothing left undone

Chorus X 2
 
Beautiful. Thank you John.
 
Thank you @JohnEGreen and for the words...

One of the few English Monroes, Skiddaw this pm with snow on the top.

We stayed in a cottage just outside of Keswick, Applethwaite and the view of both sides of the mountains covered in snow, and the cloud halfway up was unreal. Especially as the sun was shining down on us. Walked a few of them, very slowly I assure you.
My eldest goes up to the lakes at least four weekends and a week, just to walk!
Also stayed in Bassenthwaite and Portinscale.
Fabulous place.
 
Spectacular
 
Thank you for that. Smashing
 
Good morning everyone on an overcast start to the day here in the saaaf. Smashing time yesterday but overdid the walking - 8 miles - how! We did visit a couple of museums in the morning and walked to and from the Albert Hall. Still. Met up with some friends that we have not seen for 25 years and promised each other to stay more in touch - as you do. Art bit, something that I was working on about a month ago. It took a several days but I took photo’s as I went. Hope your Sunday includes some peas. I shall have the last of the koffy that I brought with me.

Well, judging by a previous post, if the museum's at South ken, were Indeed the targets, that's a marvelous walk...quite a good way, too.

While London's blessed with glorious architecture, and everyone mentions the Albert hall, I think I much prefer the grandeur of the natural history museum.
Absolutely marvellous at dusk when all lit up.

To my mind, if Disney wanted to create THE ultimate museum as a backdrop to Indiana Jones, night at the museum, Jurassic park, etc..it would look exactly like the NHM.

Rest up, @dunelm , that was a fair ol' yomp you put in there.

I hope you & many others get some peas today.

Agree, NHM and the V&A were the ones visited. The architecture alone is worth seeing. Got some shots of the pannels in the ceiling at the NHM with the thought of maybe painting some.
 
Morning all from L.A. where we have the first frost of the autumn, at least on the front lawn. I'm not sure I feel comfortable with 4 and 5 year olds like my granddaughter- Squirrels - or even cubs and scouts, grandson, being out in a parade then service for more than an hour without coats. Thought we'd stopped sending 'em up chimneys but I'm very in favour of the idea of youngsters being in such events. Let's hope Elf-n-safety has a serious word. Nice touch on Friday to let them wear their uniforms to school. @dunelm some walk, some day, some art, some dad joke with the peas - do you have a side hustle in Christmas crackers? (I really begrudge spending money on those, always a source of some tension here.) Anyhow, we are treating #3 son and partner to lunch today hence the goose for Martinmas a week early Thanks be to Ben P (R.I.P.) both grandfathers and countless others I'll never know that I can do so peacefully. I'm not sure why my uncle, who sustained a life changing injury, and others were in Korea really. Same with Iraq and Afghanistan.
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
Peace be with you all.

Good sombre Remembrance Sunday Morening Ladies and Gentlemen, will you wear your poppy with pride?

My blood sugars this morning were 6.7

On a positive note some young friends of ours are on holiday in our ex colony and he proposed to his girlfriend at the Grand Canyon, a very stunning backdrop and very romantic.
Being of a warped sense of humour this Grand Canyon proposal with provide much material for jesting.

Now it’s time to warm up the cathode ray tube in the idiot box for the Remembrance ceremony.
Time to go, stay safe all.
 
6.2 this morning. I am so pleased with that as I thought it would be in the high sevens as we ate really late last night.

We had a lovely meal out with our friends at a local pub. I had sea bream and a salad which was really delicious and their coffee was excellent also - so I had two while everyone had deserts.
 
A brilliant day @dunelm
Great Art Bit...
