The elegant Lobelia speciosa "Fan Burgundy" is the star of the moment here in the extensive gardens of Dolores Delargo Towers
It's been grim and wet all weekend here, which is "Sod's Law" - it was lovely all week while I was working.
We could do with something to cheer ourselves up, and who better to bring some sunshine into our lives than the faboo Pink Martini (even if they are performing from their own homes)?
Get happy? We're trying.
Oh, dear. I'd better not mention what the weather's like here. Or post the photos from this morning's swim...
ReplyDeleteInstead I'll admire your Lobelia (and wish I'd thought to grow some for this year).
Better not mention sultry sunshine and sea bathing or else I may spit.
DeleteYes, the Lobelias are doing better than they ever have - they're supposed to prefer boggy conditions round a pond, but they're growing spectacularly in a small pot/trough... Jx
Must be all that rain...

There's a stinging jellyfish waiting for you on your next dip in the tropical waters of Norfolk, dear. I've put out a hex... Jx
DeleteIt's a sad day indeed dear...have you heard the news? I thought of you right away. Break at the black garb and the strongest of cocktails.
ReplyDeleteRIP Dame Olivia, indeed. Jx

ReplyDeletemy fave version of that song.
Of course, Judy's original Get Happy is definitive, but Pink Martini are paying tribute to the classic Diva medley from 1963... Jx
DeleteBe assured that the weather is worse in the west - crappy week AND weekend!
