It’s another stormy day. The wind outside is deciding if it intends to pull the roof off, and to cap it all this particular storm has been named “Dudley”, which rather makes one feel to be powerless in the grasp of a rampaging Harry Potter character. What better reason for throwing on a favourite record and trying not to think of the psychological trauma it inflicted when included in the soundtrack of “The Green Mile”.

I’ve gone too meta now.

It’s the lack of tap-dancing on this one.

Cheers (and stay safe from windy buffeting)
