BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE

 


Yes, it sure is cold outside today (for the winterless north).

I'm staying inside where it's warmer. I had planned on doing housework - or that's what I told The Old Girl when she Facetimed this morning but have been distracted by watching news and a film on TV.

I need to plan dinner soon - a cauliflower and broccoli cheese bake with roast pumpkin and roast potatoes - but will do an hour exercise on 'the machines' first. It's a good way of keeping warm too.

Maybe a warming pinot noir later with dinner ...


... But maybe just a half a drink more (put some records on while I pour)

Baby it's cold outside

Baby it's cold, baby it's cold outside

Mind you, In the good old USA this song was banned after complaints from the Me Too movement . See here:

"Baby It's Cold Outside" has faced bans and controversy primarily due to its perceived suggestion of sexual coercion and date rape, specifically the line "Say, what's in this drink?". These issues emerged particularly after the #MeToo movement brought increased awareness to sexual violence. While some defend the song as a flirty, fun holiday song reflecting cultural norms of the time, many listeners interpret it as problematic. In response, some radio stations removed the song from their playlists and artists have rewritten it to remove the contentious lyrics."

I abhor sexual violence and am very happy to see prdators exposed and prosecuted but a bit of common sense has to be shown with old songs, films, nursery rhymes and storybooks.

Predators should be prosecuted as well.
