Michael Chapman played a gig at our local pub...

we actually went out JUST Compostman and me earlier in the week, to a gig! We went to see Michael Chapman, an amazing guitarist singer songwriter....who was appearing at our local pub, The Walwyn Arms ! Compostman first encountered Michael back in the very early 70's when he played at a folk festival Compostman was doing the PA for...and we have been to see him a lot over the last 35 odd years...(eeek) but since we had Compostgirl we have only been out together 4 times in total. ..and not to see him... :-(

so we really enjoyed ourselves on Tuesday :-) especially as Compostgirl went on a sleepover with her best friend from school!

It WAS fun! to be a grown up again, to get dressed up( a bit, I put on clean jeans and a nice top and some lipstick!) and go out somewhere with lovely Compostman..and talk about grown up stuff :-)

Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood

I WAS going to post tonight about how our plant stall at Blossomtime went this weekend etc.

But due to my efforts over the last few days I am very tired, so rather than writing a post or several tonight I sat down instead to drink wine and watch TV with Compostman.

So I have just spent several hours watching BBC 4 Blues stuff.... So I am replete with Eric Clapton (HE IS God!) and now it is very late and I just have to go to bed....

If you haven't seen any of these programmes I DO urge you to watch them! As they are really wonderful and well worth the licence fee IMO.

I shall post about the Blossom time event anon.

5 good things for Friday ....

1 I have ordered a fabby dehydrator AND got lots of money off it, as an apology for the order not being filled as I wanted first time. What service!
2 Have finally peeled LOADS of (very small) shallots for picking tomorrow!
3 Sid has been to the Vet for his second innoculations so is now protected from nasty cat diseases for a year
4 Have just watched recorded Hawkwind documentary on BBC 4 and realised how many times I went to see them...
5 have realised I am still basically the same person I was 30 ish years ago..just more saggy and wrinkly on the outside, but still basically a hopeful happy hippy at heart....

:-)))

Brilliant Compost song!!

Turn down my compostbin music BEFORE you play this!!!




A sillimation for a DogHorse tune, animated by Eclectech.co.uk, with the added delight of decay and disintegration from GrandmaOfShoes

plus a few other YouTube delights which I can't seem to get rid of.......but they ARE about compost as well, so never mind....
