I can put that smile back on your face



Being the closest weekend to Bonfire Night (Guy Fawkes Night), the skies on my journey home and all around Dolores Delargo Towers are filled with all kind of pyrotechnics - and as we are only just up the road from the fabled Alexandra Palace ("Ally Pally"), which hosts two consecutive nights of them, we hope to see a few more...

However, regardless of what happens in the sky above, we're still planning to get ourselves into a party mood here on the ground, so let's get today's birthday girl Miss Maxine Nightingale (here stood in the middle of some weird papier-mâché-and-tinsel approximation of "the sea", for some reason that never becomes apparent) to start us off in an appropriate fashion, with her biggest (and just about her only) hit - and Thank Disco It's Friday!


Ooh, and it's alright and it's coming along
We gotta get right back to where we started from
Love is good, love can be strong
We gotta get right back to where started from
A ha

Do you remember that day (that sunny day)
When you first came my way
I said no one could take your place
And if you get hurt (if you get hurt)
By the little things I say
I can put that smile back on your face

Ooh, and it's alright and it's coming along
We gotta get right back to where we started from
Love is good, love can be strong
We gotta get right back to where started from
A ha

A love like ours (a love like ours)
Can never fade away
You know it's only just begun
You give me your lo-hove (give me your love)
I just can't stay away (no,no)
You know you are the oh oh only one

Ooh, and it's alright and it's coming along
We gotta get right back to where we started from
Love is good, love can be strong
We gotta get right back to where started from
A ha


Many happy returns, Maxine Nightingale (born 2nd November 1952)

Have a great weekend, dear reader...
