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 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!
Made me laugh. Fry looks very young. At his peak I suppose.
ReplyDeleteFry and laurie were very good. Very much of their age.
DeleteOh my, do you think they were looking into a crystal ball?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they were; and an accurate one too!
DeleteTrump that!
ReplyDeleteWhat? Greenland?
DeleteThe US have been trying to buy Greenland for decades. They think it should be theirs.
DeleteFunny. Hugh Laurie is known as an (excellent) actor here in the US. I did not know that he was once a comedian.
ReplyDeleteThat's how he began. I can still not see him without laughing.
DeleteWow!....a crystal ball indeed Cro.
ReplyDeleteWho would have thought it!
DeleteIt used to be funny.
ReplyDeleteAll comedy shows become dated, but this one with some clairvoyance included.
