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!
Before the days of central heating.
ReplyDeleteLove that wallpaper.
That WAS the central heating.
DeleteJust the sort of practical advice you all need over there by the sounds of it. We are getting our first load of firewood tomorrow although it was 29o today and I'm still sleeping with the windows open.
ReplyDeleteStill quite nice and sunny here, but the early mornings are getting colder.
DeleteWe were fortunate to have central heating in the 70's, electric blankets and duvets, so perhaps we didn't need to go to the extremes of a sleeping bag and hot water bottle. Sad that this is more relevant in the 2020's. Hardly an improvement in living standards!
ReplyDeleteChilly wind here today but it's still 26ºC.
