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!
A truly great mime artist!
ReplyDeleteOne of the best!
DeleteLooks easy when he does it.
ReplyDeleteGreat fun.
DeleteThe effort did seem to be undoing the zip on the back of his waistcoat.
ReplyDeleteIt took massive strength.
DeleteClever!
ReplyDeleteHe had so many wonderful gags, this was just one.
DeleteHe never smiles.
ReplyDeleteBuster, Chaplin, Stan and Ollie . . . my three favourites!
I could watch them all day long.
DeleteMore fun than Trump.
ReplyDeleteTrump should try the falling house facade gag; but block up the window.
DeleteHe makes it look so easy.
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip
That's the secret.
