I Got The Music In Me!

"When you make a mistake, admit it. If you don't, you only make matters worst." - Ward Cleaver

Welcome to my Saturday 😎

It was nice to have a early cup of tea and listen to "Sounds of the 60s" in bed.

Time for another brew 

&

Breakfast in bed.

Hubby got up to drop off son at work.

I meanwhile had to hang the cloths outside in the sunshine to dry...

Washing machine goes back on to wash the kids's uniforms.

Hubby comes back with a much needed bacon sandwich!

I need 2 more peg hangers as one isn't enough!

I ordered two more from Dunelm.

Not long later, I went and collected my order.

Quick look around before I pick up my order.

Too big to get into our Living room :(

I went past my late dad's house, and a 58 black van was just coming out from the drive, it followed us down the road until we turned off.

Perhaps it was the new owner looking over the house he has just bought. 

Gets back home to unpack my order.

Sausage rolls for lunch.

Hubby and younger son is going off to visit hubby's dad as it's his birthday today \o/

I meanwhile had lots to do at home....

Washing machine to be loaded up again.

I ran out of room on the washing lines outside.

3 loads had to go in the tumble drier.

Hubby went to say hello to his mum first.

The blossom was nice in the graveyard.

His dad liked his present.

It went straight up on his wall.

I meanwhile had my playlist blasting out.

Plenty of singing to do while updating the blog.

Inbetween singing and blogging.

Tea at 3 

I made the cottage pies for later....

I had a break of doing all the that by picking up son from his job.

Once back.

  The cottage pies were put in the oven.

Back to blogging and singing.

Hubby and younger son comes back.

Time to dish up the cottage pies..

I finally got the blog up to date.

Last Saturday's, Thursday's and yesterday's blog post wrote and published!

Catch up time with telly programmes.

First up was:

Judge Rinder.

Dragon's Den.

Quick look in today's newspaper.

Pete Ham  was a Welsh singer, songwriter and guitarist, best known as a lead vocalist of and composer for the 1970s rock band Badfinger, whose hit songs include "No Matter What", "Day After Day" and "Baby Blue". He also co-wrote the ballad "Without You", a worldwide number-one hit for Harry Nilsson that has become a standard covered by hundreds of artists. Ham was granted two Ivor Novello Awards related to the song in 1973.

Ham committed suicide in 1975 at the age of 27, when he became depressed while embroiled in band-related issues, such as label and management problems, as well as a lack of funds. The emotional scar his death left on Badfinger eventually led to the suicide of former bandmate Tom Evans in 1983. 

He died on this day in 1975.

Harold Reid was a member of The Statler Brothers (American country music, gospel vocal group.They sang as opening act and backup singers for Johnny Cash). He died on this day in 2020  after a long battle with kidney failure, at age 80.

There was a lot of traffic for a Friday.

(The job I went for and failed!)

Quick look in today's newspaper.

Roy  Orbison was an American singer, songwriter, and musician known for his impassioned singing style, complex song structures, and dark, emotional ballads. His music was described by critics as operatic, earning him the nicknames "the Caruso of Rock" and "the Big O". Many of Orbison's songs conveyed vulnerability at a time when most male rock-and-roll performers chose to project defiant masculinity. He was known for his shyness and stage fright, which he countered by wearing dark sunglasses.

He would have been 85 years old 🎈

He sadly died aged 52 in 1988.

Lee Majors (born Harvey Lee Yeary) is an American actor. Majors portrayed the characters of Heath Barkley in the American television Western series The Big Valley (1965–1969), Colonel Steve Austin in the American television science fiction action series The Six Million Dollar Man (1973–1978), and Colt Seavers in American television action series The Fall Guy (1981–1986).
