O Captain! My Captain!

Robin McLaurin Williams 1951 - 2014

Rob woke me up at around 3 am. to tell me that Robin Williams was dead. Our family spent many happy hours enjoying his films. My favourite has always been 'Dead Poets Society'

Grey's Anatomy

 I haven’t watched TV for a few weeks. When Dom and J-M visited in May she lent me the first 7 seasons of Grey’s Anatomy. Once I started watching I couldn’t stop. It brought me up to speed with the later episodes that I have seen on TV in the past. (Confusing? I know what I mean).

Some bloggers come, some bloggers go and some come back again.

A few years ago there was a blog called Newtron News which I was interested in. An Englishman, who lives in Germany, taught English and also plays the guitar. He had a great lesson website too, which I sometimes used for my lessons. I bought his album from eBay when it was released. Then he disappeared, which was a pity. He turned up again on LinkedIn and has made a great video of one of his songs….

You Will be Loved Again

Just for Valentine's Day.  Paul Armfield's  video of a song from his new Album 'Up Here'.  You'll see my kiss almost at the end...

Born on Christmas Day

I heard this a while ago and decided that this would be my Christmas offering.  Brad Paisley was only 12 or 13 when he wrote this song.  Have a Happy Christmas.

Touch

We saw the last episode of series 2 last night. On French TV they put 5 episodes on every Saturday evening. Usually we don’t sit though anything on TV longer than an hour without falling asleep. We stayed awake till one in the morning, lapping up every drop!

I know that Keifer Sutherland was very involved in the project. He must be so disappointed to see it disappear. It’s refreshing to see a series about people doing good and helping each other. We loved David Mazouz as Jake, We’ll be looking out for him in the future.

Here’s the theme music twice over – magical!

Flying

Three years ago I wrote a short story 'I Can Fly'.  It was based on dreams I had when I was a child.

The I found someone who really flies....
