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!
Very Philippe Starck.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he has one.
DeleteThese close-up photos of the scoop are very nice; it shows the mechanism well. X
ReplyDeleteA very clever and well designed utensil.
DeleteHa ha, I get it!
ReplyDeleteWell, I had to didn't I?
DeleteGlad you did!
DeleteLOVE that you posted it! I used to have a similar one.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there are lots of them about, at the back of cupboards.
DeleteArtist at work...
ReplyDeleteTra la la.
DeleteIt needs something in it.
ReplyDeleteI think Lady Magnon used it last night. She's a secret night-time ice cream eater.
DeleteThe infamous ice cream scooper. I think it's lovely.
ReplyDeleteSo happy you posted the scoop. I missed the first post !
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip
Déjà vu all over again. I'm not sure that I got it the first time round either.
