Another busy - and very hot - week is almost over, and we need to get our party gear on sharpish, for (unforgivably), we missed Our Princess Kylie's birthday yesterday!
I'll send a belated gift. She won't mind. She's busy basking in her new-found adoration courtesy of that Netflix mini-series [which we'll probably never see unless it hits terrestrial TV at any time in the future]...
Obviously we'll let the lady herself get the party started in the most pertinent manner, with this guaranteed-to-get-you-moving classic - and Thank Disco It's Friday!
Many happy returns, Kylie Ann Minogue (born 28th May 1968).
Have a great weekend, dear reader!
STOP PRESS:
I thought it was too good to be true: over the past few days, all my posts have been arriving in the Blogger Reading List as normal. I thought it was (finally) fixed. But, no! This post has taken about twenty-four hours to arrive! I hate the fucking Google gnomes. They obviously aren't Kylie fans.
Well we had a beautiful week but we're not as hot as you are thank heavens yet . Meanwhile I am glad it's the end of the week. I thought I would pop in since your blog and two others still are not updating in my reader. I myself am getting ready to go away for the weekend to go see an exhibit at a museum in Baltimore. Of course we'll take in a pub or six while we're there.
ReplyDeleteThat's strange - for the last couple of days, I thought it had all been fixed, as my posts appeared as normal not long after publishing them. Maybe the bloody Google gnomes have buggered off to the beach as well?!
DeleteEnjoy your weekend of "culture with a capital K"... 😎 Jx
We have some sunshine, but nothing like you poor sods have been through!
ReplyDeleteThere has been so much hysteria about this hot weather, it's getting ridiculous! Yes, it was very hot for May, and yes, the humidity has been oppressive at times, and yes, the garden has needed a lot of watering - but this isn't exactly apocalyptic, and, at times has been rather fab!
DeleteIt makes a change from the usual disappointing mizzle, which is what's forecast for next week... Jx
My house is south facing with big windows - it's been challenging!! Plus, I haven't been able to go for walks at my usual times - too hot for both man and dog. BUT, the heat was a welcome break from the cold mizzling weather we had the week prior!
DeleteSx
Oh yes, the week after we went to Spain was far worse than any heatwave. Having to put the heating on in May is just ridiculous. Jx
DeleteI really, really like Kylie Minogue. And that guy in the video is stunning. Wishing you some relief from the heat.
ReplyDeleteShe was at her zenith in the 1990s and early 2000s - and this is one of my (many) faves of hers!
DeleteThe gorgeous bloke was her then boyfriend Zane O'Donnell, an Australian model - he was also in her video for Shocked. These days he looks more like Jack Palance. Jx
Thanks for the info. He hasn’t aged like a fine wine and I like fine wines. Also, I get the sense I wouldn’t like him much as a person. But he sure was pretty back then.
DeleteWeren't we all, dear? Sigh. Jx
DeleteSigh.
DeleteAnother up-vote for Zane O'Donnell as was. Rawr!
DeleteLucky Kylie! Jx
DeleteIt seems the Netflix algorithm doesn't know me at all as it hasn't informed me there's a Kylie documentary! Bah. Still, now I have something to watch when it rains next week. Thank you, Jon!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Mr DeVice! I'm surprised you didn't hear about it. There been quite a bit of press coverage about her revelation that she went through a second cancer scare around the time of the COVID pandemic... Jx
DeleteI recall skimming across something on the BBC website about a second cancer scare (while I was on my way to the Science news), but never found my way back to it.
DeleteShe's a brave girl... Jx
DeleteThank Disco It's Kylie
ReplyDeleteVous êtes jamais seuls Vous savez ce qu'il faut faire Ne laissez pas tomber votre nation La disco a besoin de vous
Happy Birthday Kylie, You make the world a happier place.
She's an utter joy, isn't she? Jx
