What else would the British weather throw at us after a few days of rain... than sub-zero temperatures, guaranteed to kill the last few remaining plants in the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers that had mistakenly thought winter was over?!
Deep joy.
Let's have little "lounge-music-a-go-go interlude" to warm us up, shall we? - courtesy of the genius of Soft Tempo Lounge:
Ah. That's better.

Snow, rain, and ice. Ugh. I'll bet you're counting the minutes until the Costa del Sol. I just listened to Fats Waller for an hour. I won’t ruin it with Soft Tempo Lounge. But thanks.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely setting...Fats Waller! Get the dirty martinis set up.
DeleteMitch: You are so right! I say it often, but... "I have never needed a holiday in Spain more!"
DeleteMads: Fats Waller and a cock-a-tail sounds like bliss. However, I'm with The Master Noel Coward on the subject: “a perfect martini should be made by filling a glass with gin, then waving it in the general direction of Italy.”
Clink, clink, sweeties! Jx

DeleteIt simply must be the Stephen Fry version! - see here. Jx
DeleteAnd here we are warm and mild again...still...more like early April really.
ReplyDeleteSoft Tempo lounge makes everything better.
We were lured into a false sense of security by some mild temperatures between The Big Freeze in December and now. Best not to tempt fate, I'd say. Jx
DeleteI wouldn't go ice skating without a nice cardie and a pair of mittens - but good luck to those who can!!
ReplyDeleteFreezing here.
Sx
Not sure these girls look the "nice cardie and mittens" type, to be honest, Ms Scarlet... Jx
DeleteAhhh That's better and we are on the count down to sunny Malaga, even better.
ReplyDeleteI shall be go-go-ing down the paseo! Jx
DeleteWe had three days of rain... rain... in January. So odd. The roads in Minneapolis are such a mess and the city seems incapable of doing a decent job of it. I keep thinking... oh, well... 3.5 months to go. Lounge on, my dear.
ReplyDeleteWhat happens to Minneapolis in three and a half months' time? Some kind of tropical breeze settles upon Minnesota in April every year? Jx
