Just had to nip out and buy a potato. It is rather large :D

I’m glad I did though. I bumped into a former colleague who runs their own business supporting primary school IT networks that I haven’t seen for years. So that’s coffee, a long catch up and an offer of some part time work that came out of that trip :)

That's nice!

And the potato looks like one of mine!
Golly.

Enjoy some great music for FREE on New Year’s Day

New Year cheer with the Vienna Philharmonic
With 50 million television viewers in 90 countries, the Vienna Philharmonic's New Year's concert is the world's standout classical music event. The orchestra itself has seen its public image evolve in recent years.
  • At the rostrum in 2018: Italian conductor Riccardo Muti, whose collaboration with the Vienna Phiharmonic dates back several decades. This marks the fifth time that Muti conducts at the prestigious event.
  • The program begins with the Entrance March from the Operetta "The Gypsy Baron" by Johann Strauss, Jr. and includes a variety of waltzes, polkas and marches by the Strauss family, Franz von Suppé and Alphons Czibulka.

Yes, I won't get to watch it for a day or two, so I'll be watching one from a previous year.
Beautiful. :<3:
Happy New Year's Eve, Mark! :):<3:

Oh noo ! What happend ?
It was really early and I was taking some veggie scraps to the edge of the wood. We always did that for the rabbits and deer. I had gotten almost to the edge of the woods when I heard something go tearing through a thickett over to the side. I saw a deer go running by me. That was very strange but then right behind it came out a mountain lion. It must have been trying to catch the deer while it was bedded down but failed. It had started like it was going to chase the deer when it must have saw me. It stopped looked and looked at me for a second I guess deciding that I would be easier prey. At that time I run for the house, that was probably the worse thing I could do actually. But luckily the commotion must have alerted my dog because it started barking and took off after the big cat as I run away. If it had not been for him I would probably be dead.

My dad did not believe me when I told him but later that week my grandmother saw it in her back yard. She thought we had deer bedded down under the edge of one of the pine trees out back and started to walk up to it when it picked it head up and looked at her. It scared her a little but not like how it did me at the time lol. She said it just got up and walked into the woods. Here is the catch. It had a collar on. The Tennessee wildlife services had turned a number of them lose in the mountains near here early that spring. They denied it when ask but dad said "so if I see one in my back yard it ok to kill it?" They told her that he better not kill one and he then ask them "how can I kill something that you did not set out?". He caught them red handed with that. They either did get killed out by other hunters or they moved to another place because one has not been spotted in about 15 years now.

We have one that passes through our pasture every now and then. It seems terrified of humans, two of my dogs are as big as it is and are very protective. I don't worry about it.
