You were looking at me, I was looking at you


Bunny wins

OK - it's not a working day, but some traditions never fade. As the blue skies beckon in a long Easter weekend (and for me, the start of ten days off), it's time to get that party started in style - with one of the catchiest of 1970s dance classics and some show-off Soul Train dancers to boot!

Thank Disco It's Good Friday!

Across the crowded disco room
Through a maze of dancing people
She sits so quiet and all alone
Wanting to get the disco fever

And then she raised her head
Her eyes caught mine
And that was all that I needed
In her eyes I saw the need for love
The warm, soft feeling
'Cause we made

Eye to eye contact
Eye to eye contact (Oh, oh, oh yeah)
Eye to eye contact
(We made) Eye to eye contact
You and me

Contact!
You were looking at me
I was looking at you
You were looking at me

Across the crowded disco room
Oh, your eyes told me the story
My heart was beating like the drum
As I fought my way over

I never took my eyes away from yours
Not even for a moment
What I saw in your eyes made me realise
(You I wanted) Yeah, yeah, yeah

Eye to eye contact
(We made) Eye to eye contact (Oh, oh, oh yeah)
Eye to eye contact
(We made) Eye to eye contact
You and me

I was looking at you
You were looking at me
I was looking at you
You were looking at me

Contact!
Girl don't you get uptight
Just dance
Everything gonna be alright
Just dance
Take a chance
Oh, and dance

I sure like what you got
You sho nuff looking hot (dance)
I sure like what you got
You sho nuff looking hot (dance)
Yeah, come on and dance

As for me, dear reader, I am winging my way to Tottenham Hale to catch my coach to Essex for a (hopefully) fruitful weekend's plant shopping!

"Normal" service should resume after I return on Monday.

Have a good one!!


PS - THIS!

It's traditional.

Happy Easter.

    1. Such a contrast to Essex - OK, it was a bit mizzly on occasions, but mainly dry... Jx

  3. Blue skies beckon, not for me sadly, It's been overcast and cold where I live. Banging in the nails sounds like an extreme form of acupuncture?

  4. I can't complain either. A nice 5-day weekend and it is already being herald by beautiful sunny skies and warm temperatures. If I have any time at all this weekend I may be in the garden. Although it may be consider more like hoing.

    1. Ha! Some things never change. I've come back with two carrier bags stuffed to the brim with new plants, so come hell or high water I'll be in the garden all this week! Jx
