    has just enjoyed the uplifting sight and sound of 'Easter at Kings'

    1. Hroth

      Hroth

      Watched it on iPlayer this morning, before tucking into the first Easter Egg (lightly boiled....)

       

      Of course, GWR Kings at Easter make a joyful noise too!

      Was good; most beautiful sound in that place.

    is so thoroughly browned off with all this damp weather.

      Damp and cold. All that is missing is gale force winds for a traditional bank holiday.

      Easter 1998 was grim, 3C and horizontal sleet...

      Browned off? Is it rust?

       

      At least its not Beast from the East 3 as was being suggested last week!

    Those of a certain age will remember Katie Boyle who passed away peacefully at 91. https://www.bailiwickexpress.com/jsy/life/celebrity-showbiz/former-eurovision-host-katie-boyle-lady-saunders-dies-aged-91/ Who remembers 'What's my Line'?

    has found that the ski boots still fit and went for a 'push around' which felt good notwithstanding that the ski bindings were stiff and had a problem getting out of them. Note to self..must check bindings before stepping in!

      It's all downhill from there.

      I wish that there was some downhill hereabouts. That would've made my day!

      Not going this year Rich sadly. I'd mislaid them and the mind went to being 'up an alp'!

    enjoyed watching 'The Train' last night. Paul Schofield's obsessive character portrayal is brilliant.

      Yes, great film. But isn't it interesting that lots of the French characters have American accents?

      Excellent film, good job there was some bullhead rail on that route they used.

      Great film with some XLNT railway action.

      Yes, a proper comedy unlike the recent 'Mum' and 'Josh'. We were looking forward to Josh but it turns out like all the other modern Sitcoms.

      I’m sure there was a article on one of the ski pages I read about a French guy still skiing in his late 80s

       

      Before I can go again I need to convince my wife that I am responsible enough to not injure myself, a slight issue when last time I broke 3 ribs trying to brake the 60moh barrier.

      "What sport do you like?"

       

      Why does anyone have to like any sport on TV? I enjoy skiing, cycling, and playing appalling tennis. But I don't like watching any of them.

    is enjoying the four-yearly feast of curling, ice hockey and everything else!

    Christmas can indeed now begin after hearing the magnificent Kings. The first lesson was remembered as like yesterday when it was read as a nine year old. The Latin version of 'Oh Come All Ye Faithful' was remembered. Perhaps the brain is still in order. Glad Tidings to all.

    The new BRM fell through the letterbox today onto a rather startled elderly cat who was sleeping on the doormat. I got a very reproachful look! What made matters worse was that the 3D cover gave me a headache!
