I've knackered myself out today trying to do battle with the carpet of bastard sycamore seeds that are coating the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers (thanks to the neglect of tenants next door who have allowed this most evil of weed trees to grow unchecked in their garden). I even invested in a "new toy", a garden vacuum/leaf blower, and it's still a punishing task (and somewhat never ending, as no sooner is the paving cleared, more of the damn things helicopter down)!
Time to wind-down, methinks...
It's been a little while since I visited the lovely Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox for a bit of "Sunday Music", but my heavens! With this formidable diva on board, I'm very glad I did:
Yo, Mama!!
Now that was amazing...and what a presence Ms Potenza has!
ReplyDeleteBig voice, big everything! You wouldn't want to mess with her... Jx
DeleteWhat do you do with all the infernal seeds once you've gathered them all up? A year or so ago, I dumped the one's I'd swept up into the compost heap - A mistake, as they didn't rot down, and just sprouted when I spread the compost over the garden! Last autumn I got rid of them in the brown garden waste bin, but I'm thinking that this year I might burn them up at the allotment?
ReplyDeleteThe garden vacuum shreds as you go, so the resulting bag of dust goes straight into the bin! It's a great gadget, if a bit cumbersome... Jx
DeleteI adore her rendition ..love it
ReplyDeleteI agree - she turns a run-of-the-mill 80s choon into something else entirely! Jx
DeleteI've seen two different touring teams of Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox live. So much fun. And he is such a cutey. Man, I'd sing like a diva two if I had him backing me up... oh, yeah. Kizzes.
ReplyDeleteHe is Ma href="https://jon-doloresdelargo.blogspot.com/2019/09/totty-of-day-seven-nation-army-couldnt.html">a sexy man, indeed - he could run his fingers up and down my keyboard any day! Jx
DeleteShe is fabulous, gracious. I miss my garden and am so glad not to have to deal with it in about equal parts.
ReplyDeleteI don't think either of us could ever go back to living without a garden... Jx
DeleteI remember raking leaves in Connecticut. We’d think we were finished and the huge oak trees would start belly laughing and shake off another day of raking.
ReplyDeleteIsn't nature wonderful? It is, until autumn drops its load all over one's ornamentals. Jx
DeleteForgot to mention: Sarah Potenza has the potenza to make anyone feel the power of love.
ReplyDeleteShe's simply faboo! Jx
DeleteJust be glad you don't have effingpalmtrees.
ReplyDeleteAt least palm trees are attractive! Sycamores have absolutely no redeeming features whatsoever. Jx
DeleteShe’s got a voice and a half!
ReplyDeleteHave been Googling for something in defence of the Sycamore, and found nothing!
Sx
If she was here, her voice would knock those bastard trees out of the ground! Jx
DeletePS Sycamore is horrible. Nobody would heap praise on it.
Oh My Golly Gosh
ReplyDeleteThat was amazing, love it, love her and just adore Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox
