That's what we need - more good news. Remember when the News at Ten always finished with a good news story? Them were the days!

An 80-year-old man who became an internet star when his son posted videos of him singing in the car, has landed a record deal.
Former Butlin's Redcoat Ted McDermott, who was diagnosed with dementia in 2013, spent decades entertaining people.
Decca Records signed him up after videos of his carpool karaoke were watched 40 million times on YouTube.
His son Simon McDermott, 40, said it was "a dream come true".
His father has recorded "You Make Me Feel So Young", with "Quando Quando Quando" on the B-side, and proceeds of its sale will go to the Alzheimer's Society and the McDermott family.
Mr McDermott has difficulty recognising his son, but the two tracks are among several songs he remembers the words for.
His son found that singing the songs, while driving around Blackburn, helped his father cope with his Alzheimer's disease.
Simon posted the videos online to increase awareness for the Alzheimer's Society and raised £114,000 for the charity, but they did not expect the deal.

Saw that on the News last night!  He has a superb singing voice too!  Music in general is used for therapy, singing old songs aren't a problem whereas what was done yesterday can be.  I miss singing ……….

Good news - no anxiety yesterday when out and about .

My daughter has finished and submitted her Masters dissertation.  Long wait for the results now (late November!), but she's predicted to get a Merit.  Very, very proud of her  :)

Taz is well aware and is being dragged reluctantly towards Spring! February is still ok as it is officially a Winter month but come March the gloom will hit - Reverse SAD!

It is obviously time for that poem...

Turn of the Year

The wind is biting, threatens snow,
Winter's course is not yet run,
But earth is stirring in her sleep,
The year has turned towards the sun.

Under hedges, snowdrops shine,
Catkins lengthen, tossing free.
Air is sweet with growing things,
Buds grow plump on shrub and tree.

Stark against the primrose sky
Farthest woods show purple haze.
Blackbirds whistle Evensong,
Silver clear their notes of praise.

Sleet and snow we yet may face
Ere Winter's reign is done.
Come what may, the die is cast
The year has turned towards the sun.

Taz x

Thanks Hasty. I don't mind dry I just like short days and bare trees for some reason.
