A rousing cheer to Peachy on her special day! She is my inspiration and I hope I look so good when/if I reach 100.

Well thank you everyone !!! It's all over now. The coffin successfully dodged for another year. I got taken to a Patrizio Buane concert tonight. Excellent entertainment and a wonderful voice. Amusing audience too. Mainly 60+ women, either with friends or middle aged gay friends. All swooning and shrieking. Everytime he gave out roses, hips were broken and dentures lost in the rush. I was expecting big pairs of flannellette knickers to start landing on the stage at any minute. Me ??? I know you are wondering. Sorry kids, while I love his voice and find him a great entertainer, 1.5 metre high Neopolitans dont really rock mama's boat. It got me out of the house, frocked up, powdered, perfumed, painted, pearled and pashmina'd !! 3 gin & tonics at the bar and the birthday girl was ready to rock. A slight mix up with our seating, saw me say a harsh word or two at the ticket desk, so we ended up front row, mainly to shut me up. One would think it was me who shelled out for the seats. So that was my day.

Too funny, Peachy! laugh.giflaugh.giflaugh.gif

I had to Google Patrizio Buane. Looks a bit like Harry Connick Jr.

You go, girl! A few years ago I took my husband to a Monkees concert for his birthday (yeah, yeah, I know. But actually they put on a pretty good show). A lot of middle-aged women shrieking and swooning in the balconies. But on the front row was a group of teen girls decked out in paisley, tie-dye and flowers in their hair - just the cutest little hippie wannabes swooning along with their elders. All I could imagine was, "Oh, grandpa...." C'mon, "Daydream Believer" can't erase 40+ years. But a good time had by all.

Havent planted anything....just about to make a start on a hole for the Butiagrus, but that will need several attempts over a few days. It's a cool day and although its afternoon now, I am still reluctant to shed my long flannellette nightie and fluffy slippers, and put on gardening clothes. There's still a of late feeding and mulching to be done, it never ends.
