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!
The video didn't go up here, but the picture brought back sweet memories of a golden retriever I once had. Have a nice weekend Cro.
ReplyDeleteThank you Yael. I'm just back from mushrooming, and found four beautiful Cepes! Cepe omelet for lunch; what could be better.
DeleteAw! That's so cute. You are a big softie Cro!
ReplyDeleteIt was cruel of you to send me to "Spam" again!
ReplyDeleteNot my fault; honest! I don't know what criteria it uses! Anyway, yes I am a big softie.
DeleteSo sweet ..... what a lovely temperament that dog has. XXXX
ReplyDeleteI think Golden Retrievers are the world's most lovely dogs. I have never known one that wasn't.
DeleteOne very mellow old dog,
ReplyDeleteI know two GR's in England and they're both much the same.
DeleteI've had enough of your politics too. Surprised me what indepth coverage we got. Everyone here amazed how fast the changeover happened. One out , even house contents , and half an hour later the other in.
ReplyDeleteThey don't muck about, do they!
DeleteMaking friends as only a cute little kitten is able.
ReplyDeleteCepes good for you and Lady M.
How did the area look? Did you imagine it with tiny fairy lights strung around and tables and chairs...maybe a long table and benches would suffice and make it more sociable?
It always worried me that our cat didn't really get-on with the dogs. I did my best to train them, and did eventually manage to get them to sit together on the same sofa, but it was never consensual.
DeleteAdorable. Tolerance and acceptance guides the Golden Retriever. It's a very nice train.
ReplyDeleteLovely dogs; I'd like to own one.
DeleteAbsolutely... don't watch the news anymore.
ReplyDeleteLove the video - kittens can always make you smile... and that accommodating Golden is so sweet.
