It's been quite nice weather here for a change (especially on a weekend), so, despite the limited daylight hours we were out in the garden doing a bit of (light) pottering today - clearing dead, wet leaves and bloody sycamore seeds from the tops of pots, and lifting the dahlia tubers (which have sadly suffered a lot thanks to the terrible weather 2021 gave us, so we fear this year's show may be somewhat less-than-spectacular again) to dry off and store somewhere out of any risk of frost (usually well-wrapped in newspaper on a dry shelf against the wall of the house, as we don't have a greenhouse in this tiny garden).
Such a gentle way to spend a day - so we need some mellow music to go with it, this time courtesy of (the "precursor" of our usual fave site for such things Soft Tempo Lounge) "Uncle Jerry's Pad":
Ah, that's just the ticket!

I will be playing this while taking down Christmas decorations dear......
ReplyDeleteYou're a bit late, aren't you? Twelfth Night was on Wednesday - perhaps you were too busy wassailing to notice... Jx
DeletePS glad you liked the music!
Aww... I was hoping for the ABC song.. "How To Be A Millionaire." But this is lovely. Terribly cold here. And I would happily settle for half a million. Kizzes.
ReplyDeleteI never do half measures, dear! Jx
DeleteI wonder what millionaire's island this is. The women are too long-in-the-tooth (20s) to be on Jeffrey Epstein's island.
ReplyDeleteIt's the favoured "millionaire's hideaway" of Dean Martin, it would seem, from that final scene... Jx
DeleteIt was fun to watch the outfits parade by. I think a Drag Queen should still that beautiful look of the white evening gown with black flecks and matching giant boa. Lovely! The boa is so big it deserves to be named.
ReplyDeleteWe have no evidence that "lady" isn't actually a man, or at least born one - think how glamorous people such as Romy Haag, Amanda Lear or April Ashley were in their day... Jx
DeleteThis is terribly glamorous for a drizzly Monday morning - and the stuff of dreams!

Yes, indeed, if it were a toss-up between sitting in my living-room with a teeny laptop trying to explain the finer details of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 or being served exotic cocktails in a room full of glamorous people somewhere on the Riviera, I think I know which one I'd choose.

DeleteObviously this bunch of parading nymphets didn't heed Ms's Lily, Barbara and Cilla's advice. Not one of them got themselves a gimmick. Even your gif from last friday managed to have a trick pelvis with the added benefit of a meal of meat and potatoes. These lasses are destined for poverty after that weekend. No sueing your host of extra moolah in those days. Rgds. An admirer from afar.
DeleteOh, I imagine flogging a "kiss'n'tell" story about a night of passion with a married bank chairman or Hollywood "family man" to one of Rupert Murdoch's grubbier tabloids might keep a girl going for a while... Jx
