Yes - the bunting's up at Dolores Delargo Towers in readiness for the Coronation [although the Madam is actually working on Saturday, so I'll need to record it and we'll watch it on Sunday or Monday, and the concert (with a finger on the fast-forward button) sometime in the week], so let's play another vaguely appropriate number to celebrate, shall we?
Gulp. That song is 38 years old - released in the year that Keira Knightley, Bruno Mars, Lewis Hamilton, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lily Allen, Joe Wicks and Lana Del Rey were all born...
OMG!!!! WAIT, WAIT a damn minute.

Yes....... yes... do I spy a decoration up at the Delores DeLargo Towers?!?!?!?!?
Someone fetch me my smelling salts and wheel over the fainting chaise...STAT!
...and we're the only house in the entire street to have done anything. No other bunting to be seen anywhere! Mind you, it's not really a surprise since our area has so many Bulgarian, Rumanian, Albanian and Polish households.
DeleteSurprised our drag queen neighbours down the street haven't gone for it in style! So few people are patriotic enough these days, it seems. Jx
For even I may even put a small flag out in the window box.
DeleteHoorah! Jx
DeleteI passed a council house today, they had a union jack beach towel pegged out on the washing line. I just thought I would share that with you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mitzi. It's good to know that style and class have not completely died out. Jx
Delete38 years. Thank you. I shall now turn away for a quick sob.
ReplyDeleteThe bunting is looking good!
Sx
I had a bit of a sob about that, too - how can it be so long ago..? Jx
DeleteAnd the good thing is the Bunting can stay up till next week-end to celebrate Eurovision !
ReplyDeleteMulti-purpose! Jx
