Gosh, time is flying by; in 3 weeks we'll be in 2024.
With grandsons everywhere, and people on the move from country to country, I hardly have time to sit and ponder. They are all so energetic, yet unhurried. They eat in restaurants, go to the gym, boogie all night, and take everything in their stride. It makes me dizzy even thinking about it.
Anyway, after a family emergency yesterday, it's great to wake-up every morning, and what better way to do so than with this song.
Good morning Cro, I hope everything is fine with you. Indeed, this world is full of happenings.
ReplyDeleteA few too many here at the moment. I can hardly wait for it all to calm down.
DeleteThere's nothing like a good old "oldie" for lifting the spirits and setting the feet tapping.
ReplyDeleteIt's a morning feel-good song. It never fails.
DeleteI do hope everything is getting swiftly sorted out, and everyone is O.K. X
ReplyDeleteYes, thank you. We are getting there.
DeleteGood morning to you too. Good to hear that you are OK despite the family emergency.
ReplyDeletePersonally I'm always in high spirits. But trials are occasionally sent our way.
DeleteDid the family emergency involve Brighton constabulary knocking on your door saying, "We have had complaints from neighbours about you singing and tap dancing in the early hours of the morning. Please cease or we'll have to take you in to the station" ?
ReplyDeleteNo, but they might do that from now on.
DeleteIt's wonderful to have family whirling around you. Sit back and let them whirl.
ReplyDeleteWishing you all happy holidays. Hoping any crisis passes swiftly
They're away in Paris at the moment. It won't be long before they head back to Oz, then we'll miss them terribly.
DeleteFast away the year passes.
ReplyDeleteI think it feels faster, as we divide our time between here and France.
DeleteHope the family emergency wasn't too bad.
ReplyDeleteI must have seen ' Singing in the Rain ' a zillion times .... I pretty much know it off by heart. As a child I loved the bit when they tip the sofa over !!! They are all so good but I always loved Donald O'Connor. His ' Make 'Em Laugh " is amazing. I was very disappointed with Julian Fellowes. second Downton Abbey feature film ..... he plagiarised ' Singing in the Rain !!! XXXX
I've only seen the original. Yes, I love that sofa tipping scene too. I'm sure I tried it at home.
DeleteHope it wasn't a 'Sudden'.
ReplyDeleteIt was!
DeleteYour family gathering seems to include jet setting. You are a high energy, spirited group.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy! How is Billy doing? I hope you are both still loving your daily walks in Brighton.
It's not me, just everyone around me. It makes me feel old. Billy is fine. he and I have been on 4 walks today. I've taken over the whole task for the moment.
DeleteAnd Good Morning to you too!!
ReplyDeleteWasn't that nice! It makes you feel alive.
DeleteDid you know they had to make that entire sofa tipping scene in one take!
ReplyDeleteI'm often amazed by some of the Fred Astaire routines that were all in one continuous take. Who could do that these days!
DeleteIf I had stayed up all night talking as they supposedly did there's no way I could be cheerfully singing and dancing like they are.
ReplyDeletePiffle. I'm sure you could River!
