I love this



It's a bright
It's a light
It's a so outta sight
It's a feeling all right, morning noon or night

It's the best thing in life that you don't have to buy
It's a funny funny feeling down in your heart

It's a neat
It's a treat
It's a something that's sweet
It's the one thing in life that will never be beat
It's a once it's inside you it loses the key
That's that funny funny feeling down in your heart

(Chorus)

It's love (3x)
It's the funny funny feeling down in your heart

Let it in
To your heart and you'll feel this funny feeling
Let it in
And together we'll join in harmour love

Let it in
For the beat of your heart will keep the rhythm
Let it smile
On the outside and sing in harmour love

"Aaw, Joe!"

It's a pin
It's a friend
It's a how have you been
It's a `I'm looking forward to seeing you again'

It's a laugh
It's a grin
It's a let it begin
With that funny funny feeling down in your heart

It's a walk through the park
It's a kiss in the dark
It's a vow made by two that they never will part
It's a spark that you feel from the moment it starts
Known as that funny funny feeling down in your heart

CHORUS

Notes to self

The crucial thing about being badly under the weather for a couple of months before Christmas is that bulbs do not get planted. I hope that, by the time I thought to hire a Portuguese gardener to do the work, it wasn't too late. Remember - Throw Money At It.

Do not on any account buy the new version of Monopoly, the one with the credit cards and the enormous prices. (Shanghai - FOUR MILLION!!) You never know how much money you have, unless you ask the banker to find out. The banker is involved in EVERY SINGLE financial transaction, always with the possibility of pressing the wrong button or putting the wrong card in the slot - great if your group of players includes a compulsive control freak. And the numbers are so big you lose the opportunity for your smallish children to practise mental arithmetic. And the will to live. And the player pieces have too many that look similar, so figuring out who's who is an unnecessary trial.

Send the middle child off with DH for a bonding day, just the two of them, and become aware of how much poorer his absence leaves in the family dynamic. Become embarrassingly aware of the possibility that we might need him rather more than he needs us. (And the fact that the Science Museum was HEAVING, and that their time there was spent queuing, didn't seem to impact his enjoyment of having his father to himself.)

Practise. Kit and I are working on a Carulli duet, and if he isn't better than me now, he will be soon.
