Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!

About Me
- Cro Magnon
- I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching). Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Oooh argh! Love a bit of ska
ReplyDeleteSka makes the world a better place, even in the times of COVID.

ReplyDeleteLove ska music Cro. And yes, here in Melbourne we're under the Covid thumb right now and dealing with winter weather and snow down in places where it's not often seen.

Do you know Andrew (below)? He lives in Melbourne too.
DeleteI'm laughing Cro. I don't know Andrew, Melbourne is a big city but it might be that he doesn't live too far away.

DeleteIt's always good to see musicians having fun when performing, and I have not even heard of the orchestra.
