Here we are again, another batch of Friday Ramblings!
Let me see...
Oh yes, some of you may remember me moaning about my dad claiming that he never goes out and is afraid to leave the house. On Monday he was out walking his dog (the one we walk because he can't do it) and bumped into my daughter. That evening I was late going to walk his dog (I have a late lecture on Mondays) and he must have thought that I wasn't going to walk the dog any more. He fell over himself to explain why he was out with the dog and there has not been any more talk of him becoming a hermit.

Coppicing - although a coppice is a small woodland, Coppicing is more than that. It is a method of managing woodland that involves cutting trees to ground level, causing multiple, thinner trunks to sprout. This thinner wood can then be used for burning, charcoal, fencing, etc. Done right it is totally sustainable and produces a very distinctive woodland.
Number One Son did a sort course in podcasting this week. The final part was doing their own podcast on any subject with voting for the best. He won. His podcast was amazingly cheesy, but good fun.
The newspaper story gets better and better. Seems that one person who was named and quoted in the article did not realise that she was being interviewed for a story! Could get messy now!
Saturday is Halloween! We are going to be having a bit of a party, food, drink, decorations, maybe a bit of dressing up, who knows? Should be fun, though. I promise no sacrifices...
Been a long time since I heard that song - I used to like it!!!!!

It must be good to know that your dad is very capable of getting out and enjoying his surroundings rather than becoming a hermit! Funny that he tried to pull that one over on you.
That song is kind of creepy! Don't think I've ever heard it before.
When I was 10 or 11 years old, I went through my dad's LPs and found this Black Sabbath Greatest Hits LP. The cover was a painting of undead killing a medieval port town. It was around midnight and raining outside. I chose that time to listen to the record for the first time.
Scared the shit outta me. So I listened to it again.
A few years later, I heard Type O Negative's cover of that song. So that's what music from the vampire's point of view is like.
Man, that video brings back memories!
Tony Iommi was definitely far more suited for that sort of thing than he was for his (very brief) stint with Jethro Tull. And those old Black Sabbath songs just have that personality that the later ones didn't...
