Another view up my back passage. I'm spoiling you, dear reader.
It's the start of a three-day Bank Holiday weekend here in the UK - and true to form, the Piccadilly Line (our nearest Tube) is not running. Again.
That's a bit of a bugger, as I am heading to Leicester Square to meet up with fellow "Marvel-geek" John-John to go and see the latest MCU blockbuster Thunderbolts* [the asterix is intentional], so my journey is going to be slightly convoluted (but manageable)...
Meanwhile... a bit of news has caused consternation among people who don't yet believe they're actually getting older - this classic song is thirty years old this week! Gulp. To me, it's timeless...
...as is the William Shatner version, but that's a whole different subject altogether...
Oh, look at your foxgloves! And your roses! And clematis and black-eyed-susan and geraniums and-
ReplyDeleteWhen I dropped in on The Mother earlier, Naga Munchetty was announcing from the TV that "Common People" is 30 years old. It's unbelieveable!
P.S. I hope you enjoy Thunderbolts* - I've read some good things about it (although I doubt I'll go and see it).
We are chuffed to bits with the way the garden's looking at the moment - and it's only May... Wait for the salvias, phlox, lilies and the rest to kick off - it'll be even more stunning!
DeleteTime flies when you're having fun. Where did those three decades go?! Jx
The garden looks incredible. Nice work. I have no recollection of this song, but I like it. 1995 can’t be 30 years ago!!!
ReplyDeleteOne of the "joys" of having a garden that's completely in pots (bar two roses) is the constant attention it demands, so it is sometimes hard work - but my heavens! The rewards are lovely... Jx
DeletePS I'm not sure how much "Britpop" actually did permeate into the American market, to be honest - but it was a hell of an era - Blur, Oasis, Suede, Pulp, Elastica, Supergrass, Catatonia, even Robbie Williams, were at the height of their powers over here in the mid-90s.
I still regard this as one of the 'newer' songs in our collection. 30 years old OMFG!
ReplyDeleteScary, isn't it? Jx
DeleteFor thems of us who recall Pearl Carr and Teddy Johnson, the passage of time is no longer a marvel.
ReplyDeleteSing, little birdie, sing your song, indeed! Here, treat yourself... Jx
