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!
We agreed with your other post but it has vanished. Unfortunately, criminals use the situation for their own benefit.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately a well known troll was using my post to spread her anti-everything venom. I took it down. Common sense just infuriates some people.
DeleteYour blog post disappeared between my writing a comment and posting it. I can understand why.
ReplyDeleteI'll enjoy the dolphins more I'm sure
I had a feeling that if I showed my support for the demonstrators, and my dislike of the looters, that some would take the opportunity to vent their crackpot ideas. I decided not to give them the chance.
DeleteWhat a lovely video!.I love happy endings!.Dolphins are beautiful creatures and I can remember watching about 20 of them following a cruise ship I was on.It was an amazing sight,xx
ReplyDeleteThe only time I've seen any 'live' was crossing from Southern Spain to Morocco. Such beautiful and elegant creatures.
DeleteI was on a cruise ship with Monte Carlo as the next stop and the Captain announced that if we looked to the left we could see whales....I thought he meant Wales,lol and for a few mins thought that I was on the wrong ship.I had drank a few cocktails by then!xx
DeleteEasy mistake to make (after all those Gins).
DeleteIf you want to keep the trolls busy I suggest sending your blog post to several bloggers and it can be published on multiple platforms. Should keep the gobby twats busy if nothing else. My email is adrianwrd@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI think keeping it here exclusively is enough for one troll to cope with. Even though she/he must be unemployed, and has nothing better to do, it keeps her busy all day.
DeleteArseholes just need to be deleted cro xx
DeleteHe/She is.
DeleteI have to say that was a very heart-warming message. We see quite a lot of dolphins, porpoises and whales in The Minch. A pod of Orcas once herded seals into the bay below the house and turned the sea red with their blood. One assumes that they did it entirely for food and not enjoyment or hatred.
ReplyDeleteI've seen a shoal of Porpoises off Brighton; goodness knows what they were doing there. It's a shame they don't stay.
DeleteThere's so much about this wonderful world that we still don't understand.
ReplyDeleteNow, regarding pickled walnuts - He Who Shops bought a jar of Opies in Tesco. I can't eat them!!! The label lists Barley malt vinegar and Barley malt extract, and I'm a coeliac!! I am so disappointed.
That's a shame. Opies are the best commercial ones. Maybe He Who Shops should pickle some using ordinary vinegar and sugar. First find your Walnuts.
DeleteIntelligence is not the preserve of humans. In fact, speaking of trolls, some dolphins are more intelligent than some humans.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine who you're referring to, but of course you're correct.
DeleteSo nice to see such a humane and gentle act. I love them ..... we saw some in Florida ..... we also saw Manatee .... they don’t get as much love or press coverage because they aren’t as pretty as dolphins but are very gentle creatures. XXXX
ReplyDeleteManatee are just plain ugly, but, as you say, very gentle and quiet creatures. It pays to be 'cute'.
DeleteWe often get pods of dolphins and sometimes whales and basking sharks close by our coastline here. We have a local whale and dolphin watch organisation who monitor their activity and record numbers. Wonderful creatures aren't they?
ReplyDeleteThey certainly are. I do wish people wouldn't 'train' or tag them. It's not very dignified.
DeleteBeautiful creatures. Love watching them in their natural habitat surfing the waves.
ReplyDeleteThat's how we should always see them; not in some 'aqua show' or whatever.
DeleteAfter a week of watching awful things on tv, What a pleasant clip to view on a Friday evening. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteTherapy Andrew.
DeleteBeautiful film. The dolphin was so trusting.
ReplyDeleteI suppose the human was his/her only hope.
DeleteI’d rather watch animal shows, especially dolphins, wales, and elephants than any other programs. Their grace and nobility far outrank many in the human race.
ReplyDeleteI agree. No violence, no shouting, no explosions, etc. Perfect.
DeleteHeartwarming and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteModerate your comments.. don't let them be published straight away. I returned to that an immediately got far less spam etc.
I understand what you mean, but I think it takes away from the spontaneity and flow of comments.
DeleteCro -In a time of such sadness in the world this got to me and made me cry. It was nice to see some kindness. Ronnie
ReplyDeleteWe all need some joy in our lives at the moment. There isn't much around!
DeleteI am/was so lucky that when I lived in a Laguna Beach I was able to see wonderful sea life.
ReplyDeleteThank You for this post today,
parsnip
Just got around to watching this. Nice start to the day.
ReplyDeleteWonderful!
