Exercising The Brain

Last night i caught up with a couple of the Xmas version of University Challenge and surprisingly did quite well myself and then listened later on to the radio with the Brain of Brains quiz on Radio 4. Did quite well on that too. Exercising the brain is good or if you do not use you lose it!

I also listened to a bit more Miles Davis from the box set.

Slept well last night, but back to the sneezing this morning. Decided to get up late. Perhaps having a Guinness might help lol.

What Cats See At Xmas

This is so funny, and is typical cat behaviour. Found on You Tube, the cats are Cole and Marmalade.

Enjoy.

Joni and Kasabian

I am a big Joni Mitchell fan and my cousin picked up a couple of her albums on CD cheap recently, the classic Blue and the equally exquisite Court And Spark album.

He bought a KasabiannDVD and CD combo a few weeks before Xmas, but cannot get the DVD to play. It is a Summer Solstice gig they did in Leicester. Anyway, I stick it on my laptop and it works fine. Something up with the Blue Ray player as it seems to be not recognizing the DVD methinks.

Sometimes our musical tastes do meet but not often.

Falling Skies

The reason i have not been posting much today is that i am in the middle of a marathon catch up with Falling Skies , which is on Sky Box Sets at the moment. Just finished Seasons 1 & 2 and heading on to Season 3. I haven't watched all episodes but just selected those most appropriate to get the gist of it, thanks to Wikipedia.
