The sweltering heat (it hit 33C/91.4F yesterday!) appears to be subsiding, and the breeze is much fresher today. Thankfully.
Even so, I'm still having a lazy old time - although the garden will need another watering later...
Time, methinks for another wallow in the lives of glamorous people in exotic locations again - although this time it's Carnaby Street, which was only "exotic" for a brief time 60 years ago - courtesy of the simply faboo Soft Tempo Lounge:
Groovy!

It's nice to see a young Vera Duckworth - or at least her wig - at the 25 sec mark!
ReplyDelete33C?! I ended up flinging myself in the sea yesterday evening to cool down from about 26C - and ended up shivering on the beach afterwards!
Vera: "It's a lottery, is marriage."
DeleteJack: "No, you've got a chance on the lottery."
We would have killed for a dip in the sea yesterday! Jx
Ah, Twiggy! I perfected drawing her face when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteDAME Twiggy nowadays! The absolute epitome of "Swinging Sixties" Britain. Bless 'er. Jx
DeleteDear, I think I may have sweat off 5 lbs today.
ReplyDeleteHeat? Or was it Navy Day? Jx
DeleteI enjoyed that so much; especially Vera Duckworth's wig and Sally's Ganton street getting a viewing.
ReplyDeleteImagine if Sally had been around then, running the Lady Shaston - how different it would all have looked! 😎 Jx
DeleteWow, that was groovy! When did we all stop dancing up the high street?
ReplyDeleteThe weekend was ugh in Devon. Rain, power cuts, and muggy.
Sx
I doubt we'd be dancing down Oxford Street these days without tripping over someone in a sleeping bag in a doorway. Jx
Deleteà la 1960’s.
ReplyDeleteCarnaby Street, mode pop art et Twiggy, une époque délicieuse le Swinging Londres. Et à Montréal nous avons eu l’Expo 67 pour célébrer le Canada.
Vive le mini jupe et le youthquake :)🇬🇧🇨🇦

"Long live the mini skirt and the youthquake", indeed! Jx
