There is a green hill far away...

I expect I have confused everyone completely by my odd title already as my squirrel is definitely not on a hill. I find the title the hardest part of a blip most of the time and often leave it until the last second.Today, both my title and track have come to me early via other means.

The reason for my strange title is that we have an elderly person's day care centre at a place called Greenhill Way. An email came through earlier from someone working there and every time I see the name of that place it makes me think of that hymn I used to sing at school.

'There is a green hill far away,
Without a city wall,
Where the dear Lord was crucified,
Who died to save us all'

Well, I say I used to sing it at school. My friends and I used to giggle at the back pinching each other and miming through the bits which were too high to sing! However, I used to really enjoy the singing and used to be very enthusiastic and VERY LOUD! Horror of horrors! I probably drove many of my unfortunate teachers to drink. Indeed, the only teachers I did meet after I had left school were strangely to be found in the pub. Singing in church is the worst, especially if you have an old guy stood behind you who fancies himself as Bing Crosby warbling away. In any place where you are supposed to be serious, something like that can send you over the edge, standing there helpless with silent laughter and rapidly turning purple with the effort of not breaking down completely. Oh I've lost count of the amount of times I've done that over the years. I expect I'll go through the same again over Christmas.....

There is nothing else to report today. Tesco Man came as normal. He was another completely different one. The good thing was the my Tesco Finest mini mince pies arrived. The bad news is that unfortunately, I have only got three left out of twelve! Oh well.... Such is life. Hopefully I will go off the things before I eat too many more of them. It's just as well I only ordered one box. Hmmmmmmm....

Oh yes! I knew there was something else I was meant to say following my yesterday strange Solihull Christmas Market blip. A couple of people had asked about the elves I had mentioned in my title - Where are the elves? Well, that's the point! There weren't any! This was the most Chrismassy thing about the market - Burger Stall. This stall normally just sells ostrich burgers but have extended their range to include a nice juicy reindeer burger. I presume they took his antlers off first and I assure you I won't be anywhere near there when parents take their kiddies to Solihull at the weekend. Anyone fancy a nice Rudolf burger?

That's it! I have nothing else to say.

Track? This is a cracking one but the main reason I decided on it was because the title of yesterday's blip from Kelso 'Signs of the Season' put me in mind of this wonderful one from the Zombies I hadn't heard for ages - Time Of The Season
