Wet Sunday Afternoons
« on: August 19, 2007, 04:55:12 PM »
Well ~ whilst we have been playing here my three + their mother have been playing old fashioned board games in the front room. I wandered in to see what they were up to and was taken back sooooooooo many years that I just had to dig out a CD that a mate ripped for me from his original some months ago. Believe it or not it is 30 favourites from the days of Uncle Mac on Saturday Mornings.
The Teddy Bear's Picnic, The Laughing Policeman (YES the original by Charles Penrose) Nellie the Elephant (Mandy Miller)etc etc. The kids have never heard most of these and are enthralled. Even the teenage hormone heap is joining in with the songs (and she is into Heavy Metal ::)
T'rific stuff!
So come on ~ you're not all kids ~ how many remember Uncle Mac?

PS And we're having Home made Scones and Jam for tea. Christ it's like being a kid again.

I recall Uncle Mac quite well.

Why does Sparky's Magic Piano get two mentions in that list  eeek:

I can see this is going to trouble me for the rest of the evening... "Put your fingers on my keys..."

Sadly I no longer have my copy but pretty sure it was Danny Kaye's version  redface:

Yes I've been watching Dean's progress. Looks like it is going to get very windy in the Windies pretty soon. And we complain at a couple of inches of rain in Tewksbury  ::)

Me too. I'm due back out there in November, which is post classic hurricane season. But this year they're predicting more lively activity than classic.  scared2:

That's what started this ~ the kids were playing Cluedo.

Ah well here we are again ~ thank you ladies and gentlemen ~ we hope you have enjoyed this afternoon's magical mystery tour. I'll leave my cap here on the engine housing should any of you feel inclined.  whistle:

So it was Stewpot next. Thought so, but my memory failed.

Who is this Dean of which we speak?
