Things To Make Me Smile (and a few things that annoy me)

Music

  • I’ve been out of the apartment

    I’ve gone from an almost hermit like existence to being less of a hermit.  I can’t really say social butterfly because that would really give the wrong impression.  On the other hand compared to normal it could be used… Anyway – this year I decided to go to things and do things.  The last few… Read more

  • New Year, Same Me

    Yes I’m sat on the sofa watching the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra’s New Years Day Concert and I’ve dug out the crochet that I told my Mam I’d do. It really doesn’t get better than this! Read more

  • Rainy Days

    This is probably a post that should be over on the blog with the photos, but I decided that this was the place I wanted it to be. I love nothing more than a rainy day.  It’s even better if I’m sitting inside – a cup of tea in hand, cosy socks and slippers –… Read more

  • Do I really have to work?

    It’s currently 07:45 and I’m still in bed.  However, I’ve already had my breakfast – I made porridge and a cup of coffee and brought it back to bed – so breakfast is finished.  I’m now reading “The Christmas Card Crime and Other Stories”, the cat is curled up beside me and ClassicFM is on… Read more

  • David Bowie, RIP

    This is another post that isn’t going to make me smile. This morning the alarm went off – I looked up the weather on my phone and then decided to have a sneaky look at Facebook.  The first post was by the Radio Times with a picture of David Bowie.  The internet has been full… Read more

  • My Radio

    I love listening to the radio – I have one in every room in the apartment even the smallest room! Actually, that’s not exactly true – I did have a radio on my locker but retired it for the telly.  What I mean by that is we get the radio through the television and the… Read more

  • Neujahrskonzert

    This is something I love to watch every New Years Day and this year is no exception. Right now we are waiting for the Blue Danube & the Radetzky March 🙂 We were looking at the concert hall where it is taking place and it really does look like a chocolate box all golden and… Read more

  • Inspector Morse

    On ITV3 they are holding a John Thaw weekend so I’m glued to the box.  I loved Inspector Morse, both the books and the programme. I will admit that I cried when Inspector Morse died – I remember it very clearly – sitting up in bed ’til the late, lamp on, no music.  I was… Read more

  • BBC One Advert / Bring Me Sunshine

    It really does make me simply smile! Can you watch it without singing/miming along?     Read more

  • Christmas Music – Stop The Cavalry

    Ok I’ve tried to hold off from being Christmassy but I can’t do it any longer – if I do I think I’ll burst! Today in work we were talking about Christmas Films – I’ll keep that for another post ’cause Christmas really does make me smile so there’s LOADS to say about it.  Anyway… Read more
