Looks like it might be a little bit cooler today; not a bad thing for getting on with certain outdoor jobs.

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!
So it's true that old people sleep less. I remember (when sharing a room with you at Moor Park) throwing the window open, letting in the cold, early morning air and pretending to do exercises, with you cowering under the bedclothes begging me to stop!
ReplyDeleteOh, the joys of summer! Your an early bird , like my manly man. I chewed him out just yesterday for waking me when he gets up, sleep is the upper most important thing for me! Everytime I go to Europe and come home and get up early for a few days he hopes I'm becoming an early riser. No, it just isn't happening!
ReplyDeleteSounds just like Lady M, Linda. I daren't wake her in the mornings; my life wouldn't be worth living!
ReplyDeleteI love being up before the sun, Brilliant Husband loves the night hours...
ReplyDeletecan't tell you how many times we have passed on the stairs, me rising and him just going to bed...36 years on, seems to work for us.
And not even a tiny hangover? (Bet you're having an afternoon nap.)
ReplyDeleteNo hangover, and no nap! Lady M won't let me.
ReplyDeleteAh...the detritus of a summer's feast...
ReplyDeleteThe candles are all but burned down. You did have a late night!
ReplyDeleteThis looks exactly like the manor after all my peeps left. I slept wa-a-ay in this morning!
ReplyDeleteParty on Cro!
