    Re yesterday (tiling): tile saw, nippers, tile cutter. The saw is manual, rather tedious and needs replacing too often. Nearly finished now so will make do. Then I have to remount the extractor hood , grout and have a nap.

He is also known for his numerous associations with World music, mainly the use of African influences.1 He has also had other collaborations such as with Gary Moore, Hawkwind and Public Image Ltd." – Wikipedia

    Ginger Baker was the drummer for Cream. Looks like his real name to me. Don’t make sudden moves like standing up in a hurry as the stress just prolongs the suffering. Hugs for ((((( Linda ))))) and extra big Hugs for ((((( Number Three ! )))))

    Get well soon !

    Thank you for the awesome link! The movie poster and the handprints were quite cool.

    And Thank you also for the hugs…

    Extra big Hugs for you too!

    I hope your day started out good.

    Good morning, Cappers. I’m baaack. I’ve been out of touch for a while, but I’m here to bore you again. As for 12-12-12, the importance of the date to me is that I was born on this day in 1943, which makes me 69. As the old joke goes, if I’d known I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself. Actually, considering the way I’ve lived, I’m in pretty good nick. Since the folks who parse Mayan philosophy say we only have 9 more days, I guess I’ll make it to the end. My last drink will be a toast to Andy.

    So true – kind of depressing. It will never happen again in my lifetime. Lots of couples are getting married today. (the husband will still forget the date)

    If she has a “Skin Horse” face, will she be as confusing to follow ?^^Actually, Gramma Capp was considered to be quite an attractive woman…especially by her Mother

    Ceramic (wall) tiles. I didn’t know (or even think about) Baker’s real name until it was mentioned yesterday. His son, Kofi, performs with him now and again.

    There could be one good concert in Music Heaven….Shankar, Hendrix, Moon, Barrett, Harrison, Lennon….many more..Patrick Moore could dedicate the music to the stars (the ones that shine).

    I don’t tile that often but it’s a good idea for next time. It’d save a lot of breakage.

    Thank you for correcting me…Eric Burdon and The Animals is how I first knew him…right after The Rolling Stones and The Beatles….The Beatles being first….that was when I got interested in music…omg, I was so young, and so was rock and roll….so much for Jan and Dean and The Beach Boys…lol……to say nothing of Peter, Paul and Mary….such innocent times….we could ride our bikes til dark, and never worry….climb on fences and into yards we didnt know and not think about being somewhere we shouldnt be….but when the streetlights came on, home we went….scabs, scars from the days events and all…

    I still occasionally buy a pint of Newcastle Brown. We have English and Irish “pseudo” pubs that serve it. Very good but not like there !
