Christmas carol and song list for 2025 at HQ

Just been sorting it … not easy … the list can’t really be altered now as one leads to another. For example, this weekend is folk from these isles on both days … not all strictly carols but very festive, nights closing in.

We get more serious from Monday, next weekend is Blackmore’s Night and the solstice carol, then three strictly Christmassy numbers up to and including Christmas eve.

Christmas day is church bells and three carols, Boxing Day is Steven, any left not posted are for the 27th and 28th … and there are three already. Remember … no Away in a Manger because of the gummint ban.

That short trail was a plane in the process of laying yet another cross trail.

3. DAD at 1230

Computer problem this morning. I have ‘lost’ all my Bookmarks. You will have to put-up with ‘live’ news.

a) A 38-year-old fugitive tried to evade police in Italy by hiding in a Crèche and posing as the “fourth Wise Man.”

b) Anne Hidalgo fails to secure the top job at the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.

c) Vaulx-en-Velin (69). Controversy erupts after the opening of a certified halal restaurant with a women-only dining room: “Nothing to do with Islam,” explains the manager.

d) Austria: MPs, with the exception of the Greens, vote to ban the wearing of the Islamic headscarf in schools for girls under 14.

e) It’s NANTES, again. Prison de Nantes. Rixe entre détenus à l’arme blanche, 5 blessés.

2. Whitehall, 1400 GMT

Saturday [1]

(0705) Been up for awhile … please see Sat 1. (0729)

 

The efficacy of prayer once all other options are exhausted

Of course it should not be so but humans are humans … three wise monkeys. Tom Paine has an interesting piece just now … some of us know Tom from the early 2000s and earlier.

There’s a prayer meet around 1400 near N10 and Whitehall, organised by TR but led by a pastor whose name escapes me … I pray it goes well. Ditto with No to Digital ID at 1300 in another part of town … I’ll try to find the venue.

There’s a chap downunder, in Hobart, we called Amfortas and he’s in a bad way … same vintage as DAD but from what I can gather, DAD’s holding up for now, ditto here and Steve’s being stoical as a para would be. IYE and Toodles and Cuddles seem ok, Isilme is run off her feet, as with Reader Bob, Chuckles and haiku I think are in heaven, one hopes … of Andy and Dearieme, Woodsy, AKH, I know some, MMutR, Microdave, Penseivat, Mark from Mayenne, , pete, Torquaymada … who’ve I’ve missed? Redacted?

Then Ripper and Foggy. Foggy is in brolls, Lord Somber, Scrobs, obviously our Julia in York this weekend. My exgf seems well in her photo, there are two ladies I must find out about.

Today in London, it looks to me that it’s stage one, from a political point of view … reconquista of the underpinnings of the west. The deeper side of it from John 3:16 is something else again. I’m no evangelical … I have eyes, I don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows … I can see, minus blinkers. Each adult person must take care of his/her own course, which involves other people, whether we see ourselves as rocks, islands, strong sigmas … or not.

For those willing to, please put in some prayers this weekend for not only those mentioned above but for those still strong enough to carry a load. Those under the hammer can never reward our prayers and nor should they. Just do it, ok?

Fri Mat

 

Cunning plan is … old tele episode today from a good series, tomorrow an A film, Sunday a feature length episode, Monday an A film for the time, maybe SciFi for Tuesday.

This is a screenshot with embedded url, it takes you to the film.

Friday [11 and 12]

12. Anyone remember this blockbuster film?


11. The value of understatement

IYE tends to do this too … the closer to what we feel might be the clincher, the more enigmatic we get. Same with that biz about Airmiles and family … very low key we kept it … so lowkey it’s obvious it went straight by various patrons, from subsequent comments. It’s still there, should you be interested.

As for IYE, I made 48 mins before the first break (had to get back to the blog). Yep, I’m thinking that that alters the entire picture. Whether EK was in on it … well that’s something I’m still not sure about.
