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!
As a Lancastrian I can really appreciate that!
ReplyDeleteI just hope Weaver doesn't take offence.
DeleteShe's a Lincolnshire gal so no problem.
DeleteEeh bah gum, wotta laff! I know it wasn't them, but whatever happened to Hale & Pace?
ReplyDeleteIt WAS hale and Pace; not Harry Enfield as stated. They're probably playing working men's clubs these days.
Deletesilly me, of course it was!
DeleteJust right for me on Aeroflot on Monday I 'spose? Gets me in the right mood. It took me three bloody computers before I could get any sound to come out. X
ReplyDeleteMade in Yorkshire, see!
DeleteI hope you're prepared for Aeroflot's speciality 'Old Hen boiled in Beetroot juice' for your in-flight meal.
DeleteSuperb.
ReplyDeleteJean
Eeh up.
DeleteMade me glad I am not Yorkshire (although I shudder to think how Lincolnshire would be portrayed) - very funny.
ReplyDeleteWould you prefer an aisle or a window seat?
ReplyDeleteAye up, tha's reet funny.
