Snooker theme tune with 37 costume changes.....

Here's a video of my bro playing the guitar, it's the snooker theme tune or less well known as Drag Racer by the Doug Wood Band.  Yeh, very good you might think but how does he manage to keep changing his tshirt without missing a note?  Because he is not of this world?  Or because he is weird like his brother?


We may both be a bit weird but it's a considered creative weirdness which is very gradually evolving over time into what may become in the future something astoundingly magnificant, well, the potential is there if we didn't share another trait..... sporadic bouts of extreme lazyitis.

back to Wem

Unfortunately Aunty Marge is no longer with us.  These photos were taken about 2 years ago and just a year before she died at the age of 99.  She seemed bright and full of energy and conversation the last time I saw her and was still living by herself in her cottage in the woods.  Going back for the first time in 20 years brought back childhood memories and we talked about one thing I remember about her well, her love of snooker of which there is a recording below.

On the same day we payed a visit to Sid, I don't think I'd been to the house since before my Gran died but everything was just how I remembered it.  The same furniture was all in the same place, the same ornaments and photos and it even smelt the same just how I remember it as a child,  it was as if the house had been suspended in stasis which felt strange but also reassuringly welcoming a bit like when you first get back home from holiday.
