Reminds me of being in a Notting Hill pub when an old duffer in a flat cap came in to order his pint. Didn't have to worry about him being old enough to drink, but was curious about the age of the Jack Russell terrier standing on his shoulder who leaned over to share the pint with his master. Didn't card the JRT. Evidently they were regulars. :)

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!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
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!
Nice try kid. I've never worn a fake moustache but...
ReplyDeleteI'd have served him.... he looked old enough to me!

DeleteThat was fun.
ReplyDeleteSilly, but amusing. I've already watched it several times.

ReplyDeleteMy old friend Jock used to wear his black cat like a scarf; but only at home.
DeleteThanks. I needed a laugh - I've been fencing in the wind today.
ReplyDeleteOur winds have now died-down. We recently had about 3 days of non stop gales. Nasty.
