Agapanthus “BlackJack” [RHS Chelsea Flower Show Plant of the Year in 2023] absolutely loves the heat!
Another hot day here in London (29C/84F), albeit not as hot as we've had it - and John-John and I are meeting later to attend our former colleague Claire (Mrs R)'s 50th birthday party tonight at the very swanky Lillie's rooftop wine bar, which looks like it could be the perfect venue for a summer's evening...
Meanwhile, there's a running joke between John-John and Claire, as his nick-name for her is "Atomic Mutton", a pun on her sort-of-resemblance to one of this lot, I presume:
Happy birthday, Mrs R!
[Attentive readers will recall I did post this song last year - but in a different version, before they sacked original member Kerry Katona - and wrote of my perennial association of the choon with memories of Gay Pride in 2001 and singing along to it as "You can fill my hole again"!]
It's a fab track with or without Kerry Katona .
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed! Jx
DeleteAtomic Mutton!
ReplyDeleteIt's gotten hotter here. I hope you had a fab time.
Sx
The breeze is much nicer today - and last night was positively chilly in comparison to the "tropical nights" we've been having! Jx
DeleteI thought they were triplets. Hope the swanky celebration was wonderful. I prefer the name Atomic Mutton.
ReplyDeletePost-Spice Girls, there were a few girlbands who had that "identikit" look, even if they did occasionally have a black girl singer (cf. All Saints), or maybe some of them had different hair colour (cf, The Saturdays, Girls Aloud).
DeleteThe party - and the venue - was fabulous! It's not every day one gets to party on the roof of Olympia Exhibition Hall... Jx
Have a fabu time tonight! Just make sure to not fall over the edge of the roof. I am just in from the mountains. what a whirlwind vacation...seems an age already since Pride happened. I am settled and enjoying garden Pimms Cups currently.
ReplyDeleteWe had a great evening, and resisted the temptation to dance on tables anywhere near the edge...
DeleteToday's been a bit of a quieter time altogether - sunny, but with a more pleasant breeze, so I got a bit of pottering (dead-heading, mainly) done.
Welcome back! Jx
