Recession. Ukraine. China. The Tory leadership contest. Strikes. The news headlines make for depressing reading. And work continues to be a bastard...
...let's have a bit of a relaxing music interlude (and an ogle at the lovely Michael Praed at his youthful, tight-leggings-clad, floppy-haired prime) to take our minds off it, shall we? - courtesy of birthday girl Moya Brennan (70 today) and her family band Clannad:
The whole of the UK (myself included) was madly in love (lust) with "Robin" way back in 1984 - and who would blame us?
What the hell was that? It looks like a more modern Monty Python skit, but that Robin is quite a little charmer.
ReplyDeleteSome things just don't date very well, do they? Especially 1980s videos of people staring wistfully at the camera 😊 Jx
DeleteMicheal Praed!! Now there's a blast from the past! He made it onto my bedroom wall.

I wish he'd made it into my bedroom! Jx

ReplyDeleteMuch better than the news, so bless you for that!

DeleteOh, yes. by then I was a hewer of wood and wrangler of goats in The Land of Aus...
DeleteWhile I'm here...I am having problems(yes, plural!) with Wordpress, but have got a post up.So far, only Scarlet has found me! If you can't find me flick me an email and I'llshoot someone!
I saw the multiple, increasingly frustrated, notifications from each of your attempts to publish the post - but now it's resolved, and by now you will have seen my comment... Jx
DeleteClannad. I had an album of theirs, but I think it was earlier. This is just treacly nonsense. OH. I had a live album, I believe. Anyhoo. What a silly bit of cultural debris. Wishing you the very best dear. Kizzes.
ReplyDelete"Cultural debris". Now there's a phrase that could be liberally applied to so much... Jx
DeleteCant take my eyes off the hilt of his sword !
ReplyDeleteHe wielded that weapon so very masterfully, didn't he? Sigh... Jx
DeleteI've never got up close and personal with a hooded man. (Note, I change gotten to got, so as not to upset your English sensibilities.)
