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!
At first all I could think of is how young they were!
ReplyDeleteThen as things got going I realised they had based it on my son-in-law.
Love it love it love it - typical men if I may say.
ReplyDeleteMen and their BBQ, a love that knows no bounds. A very funny ideo.
ReplyDeleteI now have wet cheeks!
ReplyDeleteMost excellent! Love how they try to explain their way out of it...
ReplyDeleteAnna :o]
Brilliantly written, and brilliantly acted.
DeleteAnd so true to reality.
DeleteEspecially in my case!
DeleteI like how they try to explain it away. That poor fence is a goner.
ReplyDeleteI don't think my husband's getting that charcoal barbie he keeps harping on about...
ReplyDeleteUsed to love that show!
