I liked The Cure. We had singalongs trying to sound like Robert Smith while we were dealing. Funny the things we used to do on the Stock Exchange. Life was never taken too seriously.
I made a little fountain for one of them when he lived in Bath. The drummer I seem to remember. There are quite a few drummers living here for some reason.

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 46 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live in an ancient cottage, in a tiny village, in perfectly tranquil countryside. We have a vegetable garden called 'Haddock's' (this may crop up from time to time), plenty of fruit trees, and a view that takes the breath away; 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 love The Cure. Took my daughter and her friends down to see them in London in 1993 and the open air concert in the summer evening sun was fantastic!
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful. I've not seen them live myself.
