Visitors Inbound ...

Well ...

I was working on the next installment of Les Cent Jours when I just flat ran out of time.

But ...

We have visitors inbound. LUSH and her tribe arrive tonight (last night as you read this), The Nuke and her tribe on Saturday. We will have a full house over the next week, blogging might get sparse. Especially as there will be four grandchildren to entertain!

So I've got that going for me.

And for all the Foo Fighters fans out there ...



That's off their new album But Here We Are, which I preordered and received last weekend. I've been listening to it, well, not quite non-stop, but close to it. That's their new drummer in the video, Josh Freese, who replaced the late, great Taylor Hawkins.

I love the album, it has a lot to do with loss and carrying on afterwards. Solace for me, with not a little pain as well. In my opinion there isn't a bad song on the album. Though YMMV, it is what it is.

Hopefully I can get another episode of Les Cent Jours to you within the next cuppla. Until then ...

Ciao!

  2. Good to hear. My best to your family. I won't be able to fill in as my wife and I just landed in DC for some sightseeing over the next 3 days, including Udvar Hazy.

    2. The days of museuming are long past. And the future days of museuming I am not looking forward to, and I hope don't happen for a long time. I'll just have to satisfy myself and Mrs. Andrew with any virtual tours we can find.

  8. I'll check in at midnight to see if you've got things queued up and if not, well, sad clown music here we come!!!! Muhahahahahahaaaaaa..... Or maybe other music.

    Enjoy family time. Is there a particular occasion or is it just the end of the school year or sumtin? I mean, if we see the sky glowing in the direction of Rhode Island, knowing there's a birfday or something would help alleviate fears of Russian nuclear attacks (and now that Tuna et al are going to the DC swamp, can't hope for nuclear cleansing fire until after the weekend is over (joking... but am I? you to decide privately...)

    As to everything else, we'll be waiting for your next install.
