Christmas casting

Abbey Road- here Sir George Martin really was the 5th Beatle 

Hearing that Ringo Starr is to be knighted (another Sir Richard Starkey) I've been following up on some more Beatles stuff (on YouTube for example) and enjoyed very much the insights that Richard Buskin talking to George Martin revealed .

Sir George never seemed to boast but it's fairly clear that as well as being influential with The Boys George did do a lot of the work that made the Beatles such an amazing group in terms of leading them forward musically.

Christmas

The perfect gift

odd that Christmas is becoming (I think) less materialistic - once you've got everything (or nothing) it's about something else - Seems the latest Apple iPhone is top of what people wanted got in 2017 that (or an equivalent) pretty much is limitless (as though I suppose a pencil, eraser and stack of paper is) - I found this and got quite excited - reminded me that children sometimes have more fun with the packing than the gift
