Groundhog Day is a holiday celebrated on February 2 in the United States and Canada. According to folklore, if it is cloudy when a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day, it will leave the burrow, signifying that winter-like weather will soon end. If it is sunny, the groundhog will supposedly see its shadow and retreat back into its burrow, and the winter weather will continue for six more weeks.

Today we talked about the weather and we listened to this song:

Santa Baby, slip a sable under the tree, For me.
been an awful good girl, Santa baby,
so hurry down the chimney tonight.

Santa baby, a 54 convertible too,
Light blue.
I’ll wait up for you dear,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight.

Think of all the fun I’ve missed,
Think of all the fellas that I haven’t kissed,
Next year I could be just as good,
If you’ll check off my Christmas list,

Santa baby, I wanna yacht,
And really that’s not a lot,
Been an angel all year,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight.

Santa honey, there’s one thing I really do need,
The deed
To a platinum mine,
Santa honey, so hurry down the chimney tonight.

Santa cutie, and fill my stocking with a duplex,
And checks.
Sign your ‘X’ on the line,
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight.

Come and trim my Christmas tree,
With some decorations bought at Tiffany’s,
I really do believe in you,
Let’s see if you believe in me,

Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing,
A ring.
I don’t mean on the phone,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight,
Hurry down the chimney tonight,
Hurry, tonight.

UGR Orchestra concert at Hospital Real

Carmen tells us there is a free concert today at 20:00 to mark the opening of the academic year at the University of Granada. The UGR Orchestra will be playing works by Jean Baptiste Lully, Béla Bartók and Edward Benjamin Britten. Britten is the most brilliant English composer of the 20th century. His operas are amazing! You can listen to an excerpt from Britten’s Introduction and Rondo Alla Burlesca op.23 for two pianos:

Thanks again Carmen for the information.

Have a break

This is the famous 1989 advertisement for Kit Kat, with giant pandas in a zoo.

Another memorable 1980s TV advert for Kit Kat with a music mogul auditioning a new band, ending with the line “You can’t sing, you can’t play, you look awful. You’ll go a long way.”
