I fast forwarded the rest as I couldn't stand the rest of the songs being played.

Quick look at the Birthdays.

Chuck Berry was an American singer and songwriter, and one of the pioneers of rock and roll music. Nicknamed the "Father of Rock and Roll", Berry refined and developed rhythm and blues into the major elements that made rock and roll distinctive with songs such as "Maybellene" (1955), "Roll Over Beethoven" (1956), "Rock and Roll Music" (1957) and "Johnny B. Goode" (1958). Writing lyrics that focused on teen life and consumerism, and developing a music style that included guitar solos and showmanship, Berry was a major influence on subsequent rock music.He would have been 94 years old 🎈

He died aged 90 in 2017. 

Curtis Stigers  is an American jazz singer. He achieved a number of hits in the early 1990s, most notably the international hit "I Wonder Why" (1991), which reached No. 5 in the UK and No. 9 in the US.He is 55 years old 🎈 

 

Alfredo Lettieri  was an Italian-American actor and screenwriter. During his career, he acted with some of Hollywood's biggest screen stars, including Steve McQueen in The Getaway, Charles Bronson in Mr. Majestyk, John Wayne in McQ, Richard Harris in The Deadly Trackers, Michael Caine and Mickey Rooney in Pulp, and Marlon Brando and Al Pacino in The Godfather. In most of those roles, he was cast as a villain and was sometimes credited as Anthony Lettieri.

He died on this day in 1975 aged 47 years old.

Julie London  was an American singer and actress whose career spanned more than 40 years. Born in Santa Rosa, California to vaudevillian parents, London was discovered while working as an elevator operator in downtown Los Angeles, and began her career as an actress. London's 35-year acting career began in film in 1944, and included roles as the female lead in numerous westerns, co-starring with Rock Hudson in The Fat Man (1951), with Robert Taylor and John Cassavetes in Saddle the Wind (1958), and opposite Robert Mitchum in The Wonderful Country (1959). 

She died on this day in 2000 aged 74 years old.

I like restraint, if it doesn't go too far - Mae West 

I woke up far too early for a Sunday.

 I unloaded and loaded up the dishwasher.

Tidied up the kitchen.

Now for the first brew of the day↓

 I had my breakfast.

Sleeping Beauty rose from the warm pit.

While he had his breakfast,

I went to enjoy that warm bed for a bit.

Felt better when I got up.

Hubby had sold one of sewing machines.

(I have another one, to use, don't worry!)

 Hubby mowed the lawn.

Looks better now.

Out for some fresh air....

A lot of bad driving about...

 I popped in to see my mum and dad↓

 

 I popped into my local Tesco Express

 It was that windy, the white builder's bag was blowing down the road....it got as far as the white car↓

 Back home to enjoy a late lunch↓

 It was nice to sit outside in the sunshine!

I had to get Kenny out to make my son's Birthday cake for tomorrow.

Once the cake was in the oven,

I had two blog posts to write...

As we have finished watching Hill Street Blues...

We caught up on 3 weeks of Top of the Pops from 1989.

Except a certain breaking song...

Which I knew word for word as I had their album,"A bit of what you fancy," played it to death in the early 1990s...

 Tea was served↓

 Jive Bunny was knocked off the top...of the charts :(
