[The utterly splendid (and beautifully scented) Gladiolus murielae - also known as "Acidanthera bicolor" - which sprouted from some bulblets that we had no idea we'd transported from our previous garden (in some old potting compost, probably). Not bad for the end of November!]
Where do these bloody weekends go, exactly..? No sooner do we stride purposefully away from the office and into real life on Friday evening, then whoosh! Time for work again. Groan.
It may be dark, dank and gloomy, and nobody wants to leave the confines of their bed for that - but at least there are two things to cheer us up today.
One, it's payday.
Two - it is the 79th birthday today of our Patron Saint of unstoppable hip-shaking, Mrs Tina Bach (née Turner, of course). On this Tacky Music Monday, let's leave the wake-up call to the Mistress - in a clip that includes not one but two of our icons (Cher being the other), and the ex-Mr Joan Collins (Anthony Newley), to boot!
Fab! Many happy returns, Tina Turner (born Anna Mae Bullock, 26th November 1939)
NO WAY is Tina Turner 79!!! Wow. Happy Birthday, Ms Turner!!

ReplyDeleteYep, even with a little surgical/chemical help, some of us old broads have still got it.
Damned mirror tells lies, that's all.

DeleteDear god, Anthony is SO cheesy. And that audience rockin' out to him had to be paid for that much enthusiasm over that performance.
ReplyDeleteHe was truly his own biggest fan - just seeing him here reminds me of that French & Saunders "Lucky Bitches" sketch! Jx
