I loved them. I was fortunate enough to see them live - twice - once as CSN and once with Neil Young. Both concerts brilliant. I loved The Byrds too. Those harmonies were wonderful. I've been watching some old footage on them on You Tube this morning - a bit old and grainy but still very watchable. Those were the days.

lincslady Posted January 20, 2023 #42180 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Sorry Brian, definitely not for breakfast even in the UK! When I was a girl (centuries ago) my mother would occasionally offer spag. or beans on toast - I did quite like beans, and still do, but I find tinned spaghetti horrible. However, your good lady wife is entitled to her choice, and always looks good on your photos, so her diet can't be all bad! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josy1953 Posted January 20, 2023 #42187 Share Posted January 20, 2023 There are very few things that I never eat but tinned spaghetti and baked beans definitely don't get anywhere near to my kitchen. IMHO that orange sauce that they swim in is awful and the smell of it makes me feel sick. DH used to buy beans if I was working away because he liked them on toast for a quick meal when he had to cook something for himself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splice the mainbrace Posted January 21, 2023 #42196 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I wasn’t expecting it to be so cold this morning -6c ! But sun is coming up. Only tasks today are signing up to a new 1 year fixed rate savings account and getting ready for the chaos of the 2 grandsons staying with us overnight tonight. When bringing up our own sons we just got on with it but when living now the quiet retired life it comes as a shock when the energy and noise of youngsters descend upon us😊 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow Hill Posted January 21, 2023 #42198 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) Foggy here this morning, -1C , but feels like is -5C, can see blue sky above fog, so once sun rises a bit me should be a sunny day according to forecast. One task for today is to get everything finalise for doing my Self Assessment Tax Return, spent yesterday looking for a couple of receipts, eventually found them in this years folder. Might then go out somewhere, not shops, but there are a couple of nearby NT properties we have visited, so might go there, to try car out on a longer run, very pleased to be getting almost 60mpg, a good 20 mpg more than old car.

purplesea Posted January 21, 2023 #42200 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Hope everyone is well or those under the weather are on the road to recovery. Mostly cloudy down here but there is some blue sky in evedence and warmer than late at 6c. Waiting for my Tesco delivery and prices of a lot of items have gone up since last week, not just by a few pence! Have a good weekend, stay safe and warm. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
