After Diana Left For Work,

I started to play with a few photographs, 

when Bob called, he and Debbie were in the park listening to a swing band, did I want to join them?

I was out of the door and walking towards the mansion in no time, on the gate that stops cars using the road as a short cut these were posted, 

a bit of a grey overcast day, 

a few tents at the back of the mansion,

getting ready for bank holiday Monday I guess, 

into the courtyard, 

and there they were, Debbie and Bob, 

beer on tap, what could be better?

and here they are, 

I regret to say I do not know the name of the band, 

but they were entertaining as the three of us chatted away, 

and there were a lot of them!!

over the proceedings a huge mirrored ball, 

which gave a nice 360° view, or is it a 180° view?

a closer look, after saying my farewells I was away, 

on the field opposite the mansion, 

there were a few sports events for kids, 

with lots of the locals joining in,

past the house opposite, 

the snail mail box and home,

next time for a read and a sherry, 

before tucking into onion bhajis, 

and a chicken korma with pulao rice, 'Cheers!', after my meal, 

switching on the television The Glen Miller Story was playing so I watched that, a easy movie to watch, there has been much speculation about how he tragically died, this the latest to explore what happened, 

I followed that with The Dambusters, a good old patriotic war film, in case you are not aware of it, the film is based on a true story, the film is a fitting tribute to the raid, and the massive losses of 617 squadron, of the 19 aircraft to go out, only 11 came back, 77 crew lost in the raid, and I can not fail to mention the Carling Black Label parody commercial of the film,

I seem to remember some UK television companies and cinema chains banning it, well I guess they did not want to upset the neighbors, 

as the film finished the latest television episode of The Count of Monte Cristo was starting, so I watched that until Diana arrived home, then feet up for some fresh raspberries as we watched a It Ain't Half Hot Mum before we were off to bed.
