TW 3
Well what a week,
The old year went out with a splash, then New years day was a great day sunny, dry and like a spring day, that has been followed by 3 days of fog, very low cloud and light drizzle. today it's a little better just light mist but water droplets hanging on the bushes and trees. Still mud and surface water every where, if only it would dry. The birds are starting to practice for the dawn chorus, and a good number of weeks are flowering and growing. New shoots can be seen on quite a few shrubs, but as for flowers, just a few Winter flowering Jasmine, though the Daffs have put on 3 to 4 inches of growth since Xmas, a few Crocus shoots showing, but as always our Snow drops are keeping well out of sight, they don't flower for us till the daffs have shown that it safe. The Camellias look as if they are about 3 months off flowering, their buds are only half developed. In summary, it's dull, bleak and damp. David @ the damp end of Swansea Bay |

Steve http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/That_Was_The_Week_That_Was You have to be a certain age to remember it, I don't as such but it was a marker for the time I should have been in bed unless it was the school holiday and only then if I was playing outside. Making a racket by stirring Meccano stored in a metal tin while looking for a part was not conducive to parents telly watching. G.Harman |

Yes, but not always. http://all.hdvnbits.org/imdb/movie.p...131188&engine= I saw her at the Beaulieu Jazz Festival in 1961 I saw her in July 1966 in the Royal Festival Hall reciting, together with Alvar Lidell, the poems in Façade. The music was conducted by the composer himself (William Walton). Now those are very famous names not often seen together! And if I may name-drop further, Cleo, as you all know was married to John Dankworth. John's sister, Avril, was a music teacher and, for a time, taught at Kendrick School, Reading. That's where I was head of music until my retirement in 1994. I believe she's still alive, though now suffering from Alzheimer's.

There was a horrid episode when a woman named Cleo in a divorce even though Cleo had never even met the husband! Iirc, the wife said her husband was so obsessed/smitten by Cleo Laine that the wife regarded her as 'the other woman'. It was a very bizarre situation! I'll ask my eldest daughter, who is a divorce lawyer, if she knows about that. She often tells us of some quite bizarre divorce situations but nothing quite as bizarre as that!

It was a singer, Nadia Cattouse, who named Cleo. It was back in the 60s and they probably had met but the allegations were absolutely unfounded. I remember that name but, if you'd asked me, I couldn't have told you why! David -- David Rance writing from Caversham, Reading, UK http://rance.org.uk |

Yes, she sang "Long time boy" which has now been uploaded to Youtube. As soon as I heard it I remembered, not only the song, but the sound of her voice. That was back in the '60s. She'll be 89 this year. David -- David Rance writing from Caversham, Reading, UK http://rance.org.uk |
