Thanks Cro. - that should brighten most people's Monday morning. Hope that it will cheer Rachel up too - she was in what might be called "a right strop" on her last blog !
That was fun, Cro. And I apologize for sounding off on your previous post. I should probably reserve such sarcasm for my own blog. Anyway, I am enjoying getting to know your world.
I am Irish/French and feel this video portrays my people in a bad light. For one thing, we wouldn't use stairs to go over the pole in the pole-vault. We'd use an elevator. That way we can still read our book without losing our place. Otherwise, I enjoyed it.
THE BELLS ..... THE BELLS ..........

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!

ReplyDeleteShe alternates from strop to meditative. I forgive her, as I rather enjoy both sides. It's just that bloody football....
DeleteCoppa doesn't understand me does she Cro.
DeleteAnd I don't understand the 'off-side' rule.

Thanks for the smile on a wet Monday morning. Don't remember ever seeing that before!
ReplyDeleteNor me, Frances. That's why I posted it. No doubt there are lots of little gems out there; hidden away.

DeleteThat was very funny, Cro. It is good to start the day off with a laugh.
ReplyDeleteStormy here. Just had very strong wind and hail. Lost power for a while. I need a laugh or two!
DeleteWe had that last night, hail and all. It is finally cold here but the sun is shinning and that is a good thing.
DeleteWe need something to laugh at to take our minds off the grim weather.
ReplyDeleteThank you for that. I love Spike Milligan -- a good tonic for the miserable and depressing weather...
ReplyDeleteCro - I can never get on to your videos, I always end up after a short time on a BT video advert or something.
ReplyDeleteThat's Yorkshire for you!

ReplyDeleteNaughty Mr Milligan.
DeleteOne of the great comedians. But then The Goon Show was one of the most inspired of radio programmes.
