I love receiving old-fashioned post

and stuff like this much more than bills. A music delivery this evening- The Kinks and The Flamin' Groovies. Makes for pleasant listening....


Tune of the Day:  Headin' For The Texas Border    by  The Flamin' Groovies

Dinner was great and I wonder

what sort of coincidence it was that I tore a hole in the butt of a pair of jeans today? I am a fat bastard!  :-)  But at least we went for a walk this evening......


Tune of the Day:  Tell Mama    by Janis Joplin

A Thanksgiving Dinner tonight

which will probably mean turkey overload and too much red wine. Hey! Did I suggest that that was, in any way, a bad thing? I have organised a week's holiday for next month and that should coincide with another little photo project- looking forward to that very much.
Bundy, Roy?



Tune of the Day:   Back Down South   by Kings Of Leon

Monti says that Sarkozy and Merkel agree

that an Italian default will mean the end of the euro. OK- I understand that...... why the heck don't they get their butts out of the restaurant and try to rescue their countries?


Tune of the Day:  Girl From Ipanema   by Getz/Gilberto

This Movember thing really goes off

and I received further photographic evidence today to illustrate that point...


Tune of the Day:  We're Out Of Here     by Funky Porcini

It has been a quiet weekend

and after a quick visit to Vaduz on Friday evening I have taken things very easy. I'm not sure what the coming week holds, but I believe that it will be a little cooler- the weather has been incredibly dry and relatively warm up until now and the skiers are starting to think that season 2011/2012 was cancelled without fanfare.

Hamilton Island might be nice

for some people!  :-)


Tune of the Day:   Spinning Away   by Eno and Cale

Just sayin'

Movember certainly does a great job of mobilising guys for the greater good. Looks fantastic Chopper!



Tune of the Day:  If 6 Was 9     by The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Hensby 854

and congratulations to Greg Chalmers on winning the Australian Open at The Lakes. I only hope that his victory is not overshadowed by the John Daly incident earlier in the week.
Does anyone else really dislike UPS? I am awaiting a delivery (for which I have paid a handsome fee) and called them on Thursday morning to have the parcel re-directed to the office address when they were unable to deliver it at home........... solemn promises of it being delivered on Friday were broken when their office was shut for the day.
And get off my lawn!



Tune of the Day:  Moanin' At Midnight    by Howlin' Wolf

More Penfolds magic last night

when we were lucky enough to be invited to a vertical tasting of Bins 707 and 407. A few wonderful wines and a very enjoyable evening. Thanks Barossa!


Tune of the Day:  Love Shack   by The B52s

I was in Burgdorf today

and checked out the Photo Market. Not quite as impressive as I had hoped, but at least the weather was nice and I was able to walk about and take a few photos......


Tune of the Day:  Cold, Cold Ground   by Tom Waits

I bought a new lens last month

and wasn't able to use it at the time because of the Octoberfest Photo Challenge in which I was involved. We went for a walk today and I think that I am going to have a lot of fun with my new (to me) Nikon 20/2.8 AFD.


Tune of the Day: Get Behind The Mule   by Tom Waits

It is November already

and that means a couple of things. My month-long photo project is over (it was a lot of fun and quite successful too, I believe) and big Gazza has a birthday tomorrow. Hope that you have a blast mate and I look forward to raising a glass with you again soon. BTW- we were at the Passport Office this morning and applied for new, red passports...... should take about a week  :-)
