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!
Victoria Wood!!.Such a funny lady and still sadly missed!,x
ReplyDeleteThree genius comedians, I think.
DeleteIt used to be. Today there are fewer and fewer pigeons in the city squares because people no longer travel there as they used to. I read about it. I do not know if this is really true. Anyway the homeless got really practical advice.
ReplyDeleteWe used to know a Greek girl whose mother would grab Pigeons off the street to eat. I like wild Pigeon, but I've never had a city Pigeon.
DeleteLove all three ..... wish Victoria Wood was still with us. There have been weekly programmes about her called ‘ Our Victoria ‘ over the past few weeks.( you probably saw them ) We saw her live at the Royal Albert Hall .... she was so good. She is missed by many. XXXX
ReplyDeleteThey were good programmes
DeleteNo, I didn't see them. VW was very special, she had a wonderful stage presence. I liked her songs too. These people are rarities.
DeleteVictoria Wood had the eye and the ear for the finer details of everyday British life. I miss her take on it enormously. This sketch is one I have never seen before.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautifully done, by all three. Good classic British humour.
DeleteI wish someone would come and eat the pigeons that keep invading my garden.
ReplyDeleteGet a gun; they're very good eating!
DeleteToo many neighbours, my aim is not good!
DeleteBrilliant. So very British. Always positive. A lovely "Cheerio" as they walk on.
ReplyDeleteAs you say; very British. I love this type of dry humour.
