It has been rather cold in the mornings here in Yorkshire, fog on Monday, frost yesterday and today.

On answering the door to the postman yesterday I noticed some striking red foliage on a garden tree opposite. This morning, when I opened the curtains, it was vividly lit by sunlight and I was impressed enough to get the camera.

It is half term this week, so my recovery is tempered by keeping David amused, mainly by assisting him in two player video games. I feel twangs of repetitive strain injury!

(By the way, those question marks in the title started off as musical notes from the Windows character map..)

I’ve raved about this song before and now I find that it has found its way onto YouTube.

Kevin Godley joins Eric Gouldman onstage during the Shepherds Bush 10CC Gig to sing beautifulloser.com. It is long, (over nine minutes) and not quite as tight as the studio track but cracking nethertheless.

Godley & Gouldman are GG/06
