The computer says mostly sunny,
oh how beautiful,
not something one sees in Ireland ofen
even in Summer,
Summer is usually just Summer by name
but no this year is stunningly sunny,
time to take the sun hats out from the back of the closet
or purchase that new Panama hat,
get some ice in a drink
and sit out the front,
have a nice day at the beach,
too much sun though I may have to go back inside,
I’m not used to mostly sunny.
Storage bags all around,
brushes at the ready,
empty space filled,
space appearing like new,
swapping houses,
hustle and bustle,
all to be worth it in the end,
new home,
new start,
new neighbourhood,
new way of life,
letting go of old habits,
learning new routines,
new home,
new start.
Hi everybody! 🙂
Here are my latest five video suggestions.
Film
First up, here is An Attractive Family from the Boris Karloff thriller series. In this film a team of three serial killers are on the loose. A very interesting watch. The video is from Barkley Stevens’ YouTube channel.
Next up from Wellesley Theatre’s YouTube channel we have Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. In this film Sherlock, Dr. Watson and Kitty are investigating a mysterious voice on the radio from the Nazi camps. Intriguing with numerous suspects and twists and turns along the way. The character of Kitty played by Evelyn Ankers is an amazing, strong and interesting character who brings an awful lot to the plot.
Next up we have Sherlock Holmes in Washington starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. In this episode a British agent bringing a secret document to Washington goes missing and the Home Office in the UK bring in Sherlock and Dr. Watson to investigate. Enjoyable watch. Once again the video is from Wellesley Theatre’s YouTube channel.
Music
Next up here is a wonderful live performance from Louis Armstrong of his classic What A Wonderful World from 1967. The video is from Soulful Sounds’ YouTube channel.
Finally for today from Bill Withers’ YouTube channel, here is a live performance from Bill Withers of his classic song Ain’t No Sunshine. The performance is from the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1972. Incredible.
Hi everybody! 🙂
Here are my latest five video suggestions.
Film
First up here is Masquerade from the Boris Karloff thriller series. In this movie a married couple go to a house on a rainy night and soon find themselves in a world of possible creepiness and danger and the possibility of staying with vampires. Lots and lots of twists and turns occur in a wonderful and entertaining episode. The video is from the Horror Movie Classics YouTube channel.
Next up and also from the Horror Movie Classics YouTube channel here is Portrait Without A Face from the Boris Karloff thriller series. In this episode an artist is murdered and his wife and an appraiser for an art gallery investigate his murder after a painting possibly painted by the dead man of his murder starts appearing. Very intriguing.
Next up we have Sherlock Holmes – The Hound of the Baskervilles starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. In this movie, there is a mystery set in the moors at Baskerville Hall where Sherlock and Dr. Watson investigate the case of a possibly supernatural hound. Very engrossing watch.
Music
Next up we have Take the A Train from the Duke Ellington Orchestra and Beverly from the film Reveille. Such a wonderful performance. Lots of fun and energy. Really would get you dancing. The video is from Morrisoncoursevids YouTube Channel.
Finally for today from Miles Davis’ YouTube channel, here is the official music video for So What by Miles Davis. The whole arrangement and music is just stunning. A real joy to listen to and watch.
Hi everybody! 🙂
Here are my latest five video suggestions where I will be continuing my Eurovision-themed 5 videos post.
Music/TV
First up, here is the music video for Évidemment by La Zarra. This year La Zarra will be representing France in the Eurovision. The song is great. I like the uniqueness of the different sections and I think La Zarra’s vocal is amazing. A really stylish, glossy music video and La Zarra’s fashion is just incredible. The music video is from the Eurovision Song Contest YouTube channel.
Next up we have the music video for Because Of You by Gustaph. Gustaph will be representing Belgium at this year’s Eurovision. I love the message of this song and Gustaph’s vocal is really great on it. The backing vocalists are just amazing and the combination of all three of their vocals works so, so well. The music video is really excellent and so well put together. Once again the music video is from the Eurovision Song Contest YouTube channel.
Next up we have Lost City feat. Emerique from Una Voce Per San Marino this year. Una Voce Per San Marino is the selection show in San Marino. I just love this performance. It is such a catchy tune which is sung so well. Very entertaining. This video of the performance is from Mar’s YouTube channel.
Next up from the Eurovision YouTube channel, here is episode 2 of Eurovision… A Little Bit More. Once again we have some amazing performances from this year’s acts and the show is presented by the amazing Surie who represented the UK in 2018.
Finally for today, here is Deban and Will from Wiwibloggs with their predictions video for Semi-final two of the Eurovision this year. As always really interesting and fun.
You don’t know your own worth right now,
the world is getting you down,
everything seems draining
and you are just surviving,
the gloom has come
and it feels heavy
but you have always been there for me,
you make the world better
and I promise to try to help make it better for you,
you think you have no purpose,
think there is nothing out there for you
but your world is bright and full of potential
if you could only see that,
I know there is a strength there,
a fire there,
I know you will rise up again in time,
let the pressure out,
breathe,
day by day,
you have more amazing life to live.
Hi everybody! 🙂
Here is my latest five video suggestions. This blog post continues my Eurovision-themed 5 videos to watch.
Music/TV
First up from the Eurovision YouTube page, here is episode one in Eurovision… A Little Bit More for this year. I love this show. It is just so action-packed with new versions of their songs by the artists taking part and new songs and covers. A lot of fun. This episode is presented by the wonderful Destiny who represented Malta in 2021 with Je Me Casse.
Next up we have Deban and Will from Wiwibloggs reviewing who they think will make it out of Eurovision’s Semi-Final 1 which will take place on May 9th. It was really interesting to hear their opinions on it. Really fun video too. Lots of good humour.
Next up we have Alesia Michelle’s reaction to all 37 songs from this year’s Eurovision. I found her reviews of the tracks incredibly interesting and enjoyable.
Next up we have Matt from Escunited reviewing the day 1 rehearsals of Eurovision 2023. Really interesting to hear his thoughts and background information on the day’s rehearsals.
Finally for today, here is the music video for Jann’s Gladiator. This song was in the National Final in Poland this year and it’s just incredible. Wonderful catchy song with superb lyrics. Jann sings it really well. This is an incredible music video. A very creative and amazing song and music video.
The field was dotted with a million roses,
beautiful and swaying in the wind,
looking across they formed a gorgeous picture
but something was missing,
it was all a bit plain,
a bit safe,
a bit boring
then in the distance a tulip emerged
through the roses,
it looked out of place,
different
and utterly amazing,
the roses were fine,
incredible in their own way
but that tulip,
no any day,
I want to be that tulip!
Normal …
it is normal to feel overwhelmed,
to feel scared,
to feel unsure of the next move,
it is normal to feel these things,
there is no weakness in being human,
there is no need to be a robot,
you are strong and don’t you forget it.
Normal …
it is normal to endure,
to fight through,
life is not always a picnic,
hug the uncertainty,
hug the fear,
show it love
and see it respond.
Normal …
you are normal.
Why is the difficult path
the one which will bring the most happiness?
Why is the easy path
the one which will bring the most unhappiness?
Why does the difficult path seem so unsafe
and the easy path so safe?
Is this what they mean by anything worth having
is worth fighting for?
I have been up and down like a skipping kangaroo
but now for better or for worse I choose the difficult path.
