What a lovely sunny day we had today in beautiful downtown Brentwood. We needed some music to keep the mood set by the weather. In the news stories we heard about a taxi driver in Walsall who handed back a rucksack to a passenger who had left it in his taxi. It contained £10,000 as the man had just been to car auctions and sold a car. There was also the Japanese 100 year old woman who had just completed a 1500 metre swim! She only took up swimming at age 82 years!! Apparently different kinds of music can enhance the taste of food, according to a scientific study. With vastly increased demands for chocolate around the world, it is predicted it will have doubled in price by 2020. Better eat it now!
