Christmas Songs 2

I got soaked to the skin today as I trailed round the Council Estate ( Housing project for readers in the USA) knocking on doors to give people the good news that as they were under occupying their home by one or more bedrooms and were claiming rent rebate their benefit will be cut come next April.

Maybe because we are so close to Christmas most people took it well.

20 visits down just another 800+ to go.

To get me ( and I hope you) back in the festive mood. here is another Christmas Song.

This one is from the only Christmas Album you really ever need to have in the house. (Phil Spector's A Christmas Gift For You in case you were wondering)

Here Comes Santa Claus

Christmas Songs

Come on everybody it's time to get merry for the Festive season.

 It's the work Xmas meal out tomorrow night on the Quayside so I'm getting in the mood.

Here is a song to get you all in the mood. From their mop up box set of a few years ago How The West Was Won here are The Wedding Present 

  White Christmas

Posh Are Down

 

Even this early in the season I think I can safely say that Posh will be relegated come May. I hope I’m wrong but based on this first half of the season I don’t think I will be.

 

I have little desire to travel 400 miles regularly to see us get beaten every time. Fair weather fan I hear you say and yes part of me agrees with you but I have to be realistic. Each trip to London Road costs me around £90 including the ticket. Its no fun travelling that far when you know you are going to get beaten.And the fans as the 12th man?Honestly come on, I know that what the Clubs say but they are trying to sell tickets and make money. So I'll go a few more times but not as much as I planned back in August. 

My worry is what will happen to our handful of best players, will they stay around for a season to get us back up or will they decide that it’s time to move on.

Dave Brubeck RIP

Another hero gone.

Time Out is a classic album. Released in 1959 it was a record I grew up to as my Dad played it regularly. It still sounds fresh today and that is the mark of great music. 

Here is a piece in The Guardian which you should read if you've never heard of Dave Brubeck before.

Wintertime

Yesterday morning was one of those glorious North East winter mornings,all cold and icy, clear blue skies and the smell of half frozen earth filling your nostrils. It felt good.

Today is the 1st December and the start of the Christmas fun in this house. Although we are a bit behind, two houses in the street already have their trees up, decorated and lit up.
