Music for hot weather...

I go onto Youtube Music and type in smooth Latin jazz and I get some lovely hip jiggling music to dance about to in the kitchen. I notice my youngest grandson 17 months starts swaying his hips when I start up the music.

Tegan I have got Mr. Tambourine Man in my head since you mentioned The Bryds. And what was the Beach Boys one that started 'The east coast girls are hip ..... ?

I still listen to Sounds of the 60s every Saturday. I will be really sad when Brian Matthews pops his clogs, perhaps Tony Blackburn will take over.

Happy Days.

Ana.... I meant I'd also not seen any ladybirds but hadn't realised it till you said it...I'm now worried about all the things I haven't seen but hadn't realised it cause no one has mentioned it.

Summer Breeze - Isley Brothers

On the music subject, we looked up a couple of oldies on you tube, and ended up following a trail of some of our favourites from years back. About 2 hours later having a little smootch around until OH tried to do a version of Chuck Berry dance in the kitchen ended up in heaps of laughter on the floor! No gardening today! Promised to clean out the pond, but now on hold, due to a 'painful knee'. Ho Ho.

No music at all would be good. Tonight I was sitting peacefully in my garden, topping and tailing the last of the gooseberries, listening to the birds, the bees, the sheep then next door turned up their music with all their windows open.

Other people's choice is never any good unless it suits your mood.

I just said that...

Just realised I've not seen any ladybirds lately .

Squillions of blackfly. Bumbles, but not as many as I would expect but no honey bees.

Butterflies seem to be in greater numbers this year though.

No ladybirds either. I saw one in the Spring, but none since...

My patio today was humming with all sorts of bees including honey bees at last. I was getting worried. Loads of spiders, bugs of all sorts, but unusually no aphids.

My garden is full of the sound of grasshoppers these days .

Beachboys! anything really

It's ten degrees cooler downstairs to upstairs; I've just checked with my Age UK thermometers.

I heard Chris Rea's 'On the Beach' today in a shop - I'd forgotten how evocative it is.

I can't remember the last time I heard a grasshopper; I know they were everywhere when I lived in Cornwall [and gloworms and wild garlic]. Then there are the cicadas you hear abroad, although you don't actually hear them until you 'unhear' them when they stop .

Music for hot weather is the sound of grasshoppers.

I don't know what happened and can't find a way to delete them.
