You light up my life like an espresso in the morning. Turning the synth corner of the studio in to a cosy place. Keep in mind, the sun is on its way back, and the days will officially start getting longer soon. Well, more or less…
Meanwhile we are enjoying the wonderful documentary The Beatles: Get Back, directed and produced by Peter Jackson.
Enjoy this beautiful day, my friends, wherever you are. Peace, love and understanding.
Hands on Bowie & Jimi 
The synth corner looks very festive with the lights……The only accessory that’s missing in this photo is the official studio cat Jimi to “snoopervise” ! I bet that documentary is fabulous……..Have a great day Herman.
Hugs, Pam (and Teddy too)
Hi Pam. Well, while I was struggling with the power cord during the installation, Jimi was very interested in the moving cord… 😉
I should have taken a photograph of his staring eyes…
Get Back was wonderful and truly a welcome blast from the past. 😊
Oh yes, the Beatles or on repeat and shuffle in iTunes since a few days! What a wonderful band they were…
I think I’m somewhat biased as I grew up with Beatles music in the house, thanks to my father. He also sang and played guitar and they were his favourite by far. But yes, wonderful band indeed.
I grew up with their music because my older sister and brother bought every album the Beatles ever made. Over the years I got the albums on cd. But I think we can’t complain, growing up with such great music…
Your story sounds all very familiar. My dolls and Barbies used to “perform” their music. We’ve lived through a magical musical era indeed. 😊
I was playing along with their music on self made instruments in kindergarden! Thank goodness my sister and brother had a very good taste…
This could go on all day but I’ll say this and stop: I think my dad had a man-crush on John, but I went back and forth with George and Paul. My mom liked Ringo. 😁
I really enjoyed this conversation, Jennifer. Thank you so much!
Ok, one more thing: Paul is my favourite Beatle… 😉
Ok one final note, I promise: Paul is brilliant and that really came through on the Get Back show. ❤️
Very cosy and charming. Great to hear the Jackson documentary is good.
Thank you so much! I was pleasantly surprised after watching the first episode. Can’t wait to watch the other episodes!
It looks de Light full. My sister has made it through half of The Beatles: Get Back.
I’m ready to watch the second episode this evening. I was really much surprised to see how the Beatles were acting during their rehearsals.
It looks very cosy with those lights up Herman and it sounds as if Jimi was a great helper! We’re hoping to watch the Beatles documentary over the weekend too – it sounds wonderful 🎶 Wishing you both a beautiful week and please give sweet Jimi a gentle pat from us all 🤗💖🐈
Thank you so much for your kind comment! I’m sure you’re going to enjoy the Beatles documentary. I’m going to watch episode 2 this evening.
Jimi says ‘Thanks’ and sends his regards!
I haven’t been able to get interested in any kind of decorating, but this is the sort of thing I like. Adorn what you love.
Well, to be honest, this is the first time in my life I put up some decorating lights. Maybe I needed this after these weird times and the tragic happenings lately. Normally I’m keeping a low profile during the holidays at the end of the year.
Enjoy Herman 🎵🎶🎵🎶💃I’m going to put it on now☺️👌🙏happiness your way hedy
Hi Hedy. I’m going to watch episode 2 this evening and maybe also the following one too. Hope you’ll enjoy the doc and sing along… 😉

Hi there my friends! Wishing you a good break and a very happy ending of the year! Hope you’re having a wonderful time.
Please check out the Beatles doc, I’m sure you will enjoy it…
That’s a good way to get into the Christmas mood.
Hi Charles. Yes it is, and it also make me look forward to spring next year… 😉
I can imagine.
🙂
I like your lights before Christmas.
Thank you so much, Patricia! We’re getting in the mood before Christmas already…
It looks great! I hope the documentary is good – I’d like to check it out myself one of these days!
Thank you so much, M.B.! Just watched the second episode (almost 3 hours long…) and never a dull moment. But Jimi fell asleep in the beginning, as always…
Loved the cat photograph in your post today.
🙂 Kitty is very happy to hear that she has admirers!
And Jimi sends his regards too…!! 😉
Peace, love and understanding to you, too. Glad you are enjoying Get Back. I haven’t watched it yet.
Thank you so much, my dear friend!
The Beatles documentary is a pleasure to watch and there’s no boring moment. I’m going to watch episode 3 this evening. And I’m singing Beatles songs the whole day…
Excellent!
🙂
Isn’t he a marvellous cat? Greetings, Micheline.
Oh yes, Micheline!
Wishing you a safe, healthy and wonderful end of the year, my dear friend!
I can imagine the fun Jimi (and you!) had with the cords! Nothing interests my Andrew more than cords, string, that cat teaser toy with the strand of cloth….
Hi Doug. Jimi is really obsessed with wires, cords, shoe laces… Mr. Bowie wasn’t much interested in them, he preferred playing in boxes. Jimi doesn’t like boxes. It’s funny to see how all cats are different…
Isn’t that a fact!? Andy and the late Dougy has a string game they played where Andy would drop the cloth string that came off a kitty teaser toy on the floor, let out a cat yowl to alert Dougy to the game (“cuss” Dougy out?), then the two of them would chace each other through the house.
I can watch playing (and sleeping) cats for hours. It helps me to relax…
Yes, they are Zen masters, and, if one observes them, one can achieve Nirvana…well, relax at any rate!
Wish I could be so Zen as a cat!
Me to! “He who flows as water flows knows he feels no stress, he feels no wear.” That’s a cat for you.
So true… words of wisdom!
We look forward to watching the Beatles documentary and are also in a Joni Mitchell mood around our house. Hugs and warm wishes to you and Jimi, Christine and Bagheera 💕☃️🎄🎉🎶
Hi Christine. I watched a special about Joni Mitchell on tv, a few months ago. I love to watch documentaries about musicians on tv or on YouTube. This evening I’m going to watch de last episode about Get Back.
Jimi sends his regards!
That looks so nice, and cozy for sure. The light will come back, slowly but surely. Hang in there, dear, because spring will be coming.
I’m trying to wake up in a positive mood each morning, and think about the next spring… 😉
I got my backup shot of the Pfizer vaccin today. But I’m afraid we’re going to need more shots the next year(s)…
The booster, it’s good you were able to get it. I had mine too. I guess we’ll be getting a regular shot each fall now, like the flu shot. Whatever it takes to protect us. Stay cozy for now and safe.
Yes, it will be an extra shot each year during the following years. I had no side effects this time…
Good. I didn’t have any effects from any of them, but I knew a couple people who were pretty sick for 24 hours after they got theirs.
I was sick for one night after the J&J shot. This time they gave me Pfizer. They stopped using the J&J vaccins in Belgium.
Wishing you and Jimi a wonderful holiday season, Herman. Yes, it is quite dark here in the mornings and evenings so close to solstice now, especially during our cloudy, rainy season. Usually by the end of the first week in January I start noticing slight change in the evening sky.
Hi Lavinia. Thank you so much for your kind comment! I’m also looking forward to the first weeks in Januari. And the longer days… And the first warm sunbeams in spring… And the first breakfast outside… And having ice cream in the garden… And… 😉
Jimi sends his regards to all the cats on the Farm! Wishing you and your family a wonderful December, my dear friend!
I’m liking the lighting upgrade in the synth corner! Very chill. My GF is letting me watch the Beatles documentary on her channel (it’s only available on the Disney Channel in North America). I haven’t had time yet but can’t wait to tune in. Did you watch the spoof James Corden did the other night ? I laughed so hard. He’s the Beatle we didn’t know about. OMGee, catch it on YouTube if you need a laugh. Hello to sweet Jimi too 💗 K
Hi Kelly. Thanks for reminding me the spoof from James Corden. It was hilarious! I love to rewatch his car karaoke with Paul McCartney over and over again. This is one of the best videos on YouTube.
I bought the ‘Let It Be’ album again. I had it on vinyl but not on cd.
Jimi sends his regards!
My favourite Carpool Karaoke is with Bruno Mars. I saw Bruno in concert here and it was awesome! James is so quick witted, I died laughing.
Are you hearing the Let It Be album with new ears now that you know some of the background saga of them writing it? 💗
I was actually surprised that the 4 Beatles were such close good friends, even at the end. A lot of people were convinced it ended with lots of arguments and fights.
Didn’t you went to a live show of Paul a few years ago? I missed his live show in Belgium recently…
I’m glad they were good buds in the end.
Yes, we saw Paul in Edmonton after I scored last minute tickets of a sold out show. Everyone singing along 💗 it was epic. I was really impressed with the young kid in front of us that knew all the songs, every word. The appeal of the Beatles span so many generations. There will never be another group of guys quite like them.
So true, Kelly. The Beatles (and a lot of the solo stuff from McCartney/Wings) are my all time favourites. ‘Band on the Run’ is one of my dessert island albums.
YES! That’s an awesome LP! For me, it’s the Venus and Mars Album. My brother and I sing Magneto and Titanium Man and laugh! They’d be fun Halloween costumes for three friends! LOL! 🎶 Well I was talking last night…🎹🎶
Well I was reading your comment last night… Oh yes, I LOVE that album too. It has also an emotional meaning to me because it was a present when I was in the hospital for 6 weeks after an accident.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend, my dear friend!
Hi there you both, Jimi and you. I had been without a computer for over a week, so I’m catching up now. Well those lights look to me like a perfect Christmas prelude.
Hi Cornelia. I went back to the store to get some extra lights for the living room. I’ll post a photograph later this week so you can witness how Jimi was helping me… 😉
The lights are marvellous, and Jimi seems to meditate……..
Hi Micheline. Glad you liked the post and photographs. Jimi seems to love all those little lights. He’s such a sweet boy…
Wishing you a safe, healthy and happy ending of the year, my dear friend!
