Knit a poppy
Sunday 11
Remembrance Day
Got up at 12.00 = knackered (guess I slept through the 2 minutes silence!)
Stayed in all afternoon
Phoned Fi
Sam left at 7.30
He phoned me from Lime Street
Washed my hair
I have realised that I have missed off a couple of number one hits in the UK during October. Mind you when I have looked you haven't missed much.
on the 20th October it was Buggles with 'Video Killed the Radio Star' I really don't like it but you can see it here if you must.
But even worserer a week later on the 27th was Lena Martell and 'One Day at a Time' what on earth was going on??? It stayed at number one until 17th November.......
It got me to thinking what vinyl I still have from the 70s and sadly not many.
The most affordable way of getting your top hits music then was to buy compilation albums. Many a time, however, I got stung by the fact it was not the original artists, was it Ronco that did these? K-Tel did the original artists and I have this one 'The Hot Ones' from 1978. Had to scan it in 2 as it wouldn't fit
I have no idea who some of the artists are now... I probably didn't then either... but for 49p, a bargain!
This one obviously nearly parted company from me at car boot sale at some stage but thankfully it didn't get sold hee hee ... it is such a shame I don't have one of these anymore

Knitting a poppy is quite a good idea ...... lasts for ages thereby saving money - tee hee
Me thinks Daddy Pee Pee needs a couple of knitted poppy warmers to keep his "aged poppies" from freezing this winter.
You've got 12 months to get it knitted ......
Thank you Olga I have the most awful mental image now... and just before bed too........

Hi Darlene
& the same back to you.
It is important that we remember. Both of my Grand fathers lost brothers in WW1 and 3 of my uncles had an awful time either being badly injured or in a PoW camp during WW2.
Plus to remember all those who are serving today.
I made up for missing the 2 minute silence back in 1979. I observed it on Sunday and today ....
Seriously, I miss the 70s ... some days more than others. :)
Such care free happy days hey DM
:-)
