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!
We are having a heatwave here. Beautiful clear blue skies. Last night my husband and I, both saw a falling star; I made a wish!
ReplyDeleteGreetings Maria x
I've just returned from my early dog-walking duties, and it's already warming up; it's going to be a stinker again.
Delete.... And, not to be outdone , it's going to be hot, hot, hot here in the UK for the next few days .... I'm going to have the roof down on my car today.. Not a regular occurrence!!!!!! Golden Sunday for GB in Rio, golden sunshine for us in GB !!!!!! XXXX
ReplyDeleteHaven't our boys and girls done well; I believe we are second in the medals table. Enjoy your sunshine; we're teaching 2 year old Boo Boo to swim.
DeleteHot here all the time. We love summer in Eastern England. Hot and dry unlike the west, wet and windy..
DeleteI remember my days in nearby Ely. Winters could be quite harsh, but summers were good.
DeleteI loved Summers in Easter England, when I was further South - but up here in North Yorkshire we have had about three days of Summer weather.
ReplyDeleteI wonder whether I might try the Miss Piggy look.
She's my favourite Pig. Those eyelashes!
DeleteWe are now entering week two of our heat...104 F here yesterday afternoon. Meanwhile the folks down in Louisiana are experiencing serious, dangerous flooding, so I won't moan too much about our stickiness.
ReplyDeleteIsn't Miss Piggy the business!
We've been hearing about the Louisiana floods, and the snakes. Ghastly.
DeleteMiss Piggy rocks!
My favorite pig celebrity, and we know there are many.
ReplyDeleteWe got some needed rain last night so I won't have to trudge around with the hose today in the heat.
We're being told to expect some 'light rain' on the 20 th.... I'm not banking on it.
