Thought for the day :"The only reason I tell bad jokes is because I want to be groan up"
Rain 6 : Dry 2
1st Bag of coal of the year (yes I am logging the amount used for monitoring purposes)
Another bright and very cold frosty day - and as I sit here writing at 11pm it has started snowing.
Walked the dogs and found a sheep in the first field - seems to be a stray. Also found myself 10 feet away from a fox but the dogs did not see it - when they came to the track they belted along the trail from which the fox had come - didn't see where it actually went. Not the most intelligent of animals!!
Meanwhile in the kitchen the Christmas Cactus has finally decided to flower..
In other news:
Born on this day 1937 in Tiger Bay, Cardiff,
Shirley Bassey - World famous singer.
Dame Shirley found fame in the mid-1950s and has since become one of the world's most popular female vocalists. She is perhaps best known for recording the theme songs to the James Bond films ‘Goldfinger’, 'Diamonds Are Forever’ and ‘Moonraker’. She was raised in the working-class neighbourhood of Splott. Her mother was from Yorkshire and her father was a Nigerian seaman who left the family when Shirley was a baby. Bassey initially worked in an Enamelware factory, before making her professional debut at 16 and her first major hit was ‘The Banana Boat Song’, after which she has had countless hits and has become a highly respected figure in the music industry.
"She was a crane operator on the docks in Tiger Bay. Back in the day of course."
