Laurel Aitken & The Skatalites - Mood for Ska
Over the years I've posted several versions of 'I'm in the mood for love'; this version 'I'm in the mood for Ska' by Laural Aitkin and The Skatalites is amongst the best.
Put down your scrubbing brush, pen, or garden fork, and turn up the volume....

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!
I have the day off today so I listened loud and with must joy. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteGood; and we've still got the tour to look forward to.
DeleteYep, and I have a score of jobs to do too.
DeleteI've done most of my work, had a swim, and still have a few acres to mow before I can settle down to the tour. Beat that.
DeleteThe ironing awaits but I listened first - put me in a better mood (not that I am in the mood for ironing.)
ReplyDeleteLuckily we don't wear the type of clothing that needs to be ironed. Shorts and T shirts are fine wrinkly.
DeleteIt was fun to have a little dance to the happy music, while having my morning Cheerios. Perfect combo.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes.
I can just picture you!
DeleteI saw another post this morning; I was in a rush so maybe I saw wrong?
ReplyDeleteI like this music.
Greetings Maria x

ReplyDeleteNo, don't do that!
