The Tea Song - by Yorkshire Tea

It's suddenly come to me that this is November and that for the last two (three?) Novembers I've posted every day, in the spirit of Noblo-whateveritis. I've missed a couple of days by now but here I go:

I wish I could ever remember how to do the wee telly screen thing for YouTube. I thought that maybe clicking "Share" on the YouTube whatsit would do it, but no: it gave me this particularly long screed instead.

Anyway, if you click it you'll get an advert for tea, starred in by Son-in-Law 2's co-actor friend, Ruth Bratt.

I would very much recommend this. It will cheer you up. She's funny and has a lovely singing voice. It was all shot in one take - though not the first take - the ninth, which is why her boots are quite wet by this stage. I think doing it in nine takes is still quite impressive. Imagine being the zombie at the end and having to keep a straight face, otherwise the whole thing would have to be done all over again. I couldn't do it. Mind you, I couldn't do any of it.

Go on, watch it. It takes 3 minutes 5 seconds and it'll make you smile.

It's still very cold. Very snowy. I met a presumably very hungry rabbit in the lane beside our house yesterday. I felt so sorry for it and almost offered to go and get it some lettuce. But I really don't want a tame rabbit in my garden and anyway, it ran away.

On a lighter note, if you have 5 minutes to spare, you might like to watch Tim Vine trying to catch a pencil behind his ear - sorry that I don't know how to make the wee telly screen appear on the page:

and then, if you have another 2 minutes, possibly this:

Very silly but somehow funny. Well, I think so, anyway.
