It's minus 11 degrees outside and snowdrifts are blocking the pavements (footpaths) so it's a good day to be inside listening to music.
I've been trawling through YouTube finding some old favourites and came across this great Emerson, Lake and Palmer song which took me back to a time and place. For me it was August 1973 in Christchurch when Tony, Mike and I went to the Canterbury Arts Festival. We were billeted for a week in some students flat, sharing a room. There was one single bed with a mattress. We took it in turns on a rotational basis. One night someone would get the bed springs, another the mattress and the third the floor. This for six nights which meant we each had the floor twice. Bloody,cold and bloody uncomfortable but we enjoyed it. In the flat, which was very bare, there was a stereo system with one LP. Emerson Lake and Palmer "Trilogy". We played it over and over with Greg Lake's "From the beginning" being the outstanding track. I never got sick of it.
Robert has taken a new tack and instead of going about loving everyone including sinners he has gone on the offensive like that old version ...
I thought that readers might like one of the stories from the Garden Road series - children's storybooks that could have been published ...

Emmerson and Lake look like a two headed man. Zaphod Beeblebrox?
Yes, you noticed. Palmer used to get jealous.
