My motto for today!
Oh, yuk. After a lovely weekend - the Schiaparelli exhibition and a day in the sunny garden - we're back to the old routine again. Sigh.
Among another raft of fellow celebrants including Queen Elizabeth I, Chrissie Hynde, Gloria Gaynor, Laura Ashley, Buddy Holly (who would have been 90 today), Dame Edith Sitwell, Diane Warren (70 today), Angela Gheorghiu, Elia Kazan, John Paul Getty Jr., Anthony Quayle, Julie Kavner, Toby Jones (who is 60), Jermaine Stewart, Sonny Rollins, Leonard Cheshire, Dario Argento, Peter Lawford and - erm - disgraced former MCU actor Jonathan Majors...

DeleteWe saw Michael Feinstein at the piano bar at the Ritz, Washington D.C. in the ’80s. He brought back some great (and funny) standards.
ReplyDeleteA hugely talented man! I'd love to see him live on stage. For some strange reason, we missed him each time he was in London. I can only assume that either tickets were astronomically-priced, or else they sold out. Jx
DeleteYou should go to work one morning and say: Hey, why don't we put on a show! That'd liven up proceedings.
ReplyDeleteI hope Tuesday is treating you well!

I'd more likely enter the office shouting: "Why, these creatures have been extinct for millions of years!" Jx
DeletePS It pissed down all day. Now the sun's going down, it's sunny. Hey ho.
Fun Feinstein Film. I wish Buddy Holly were here to be the grand old man of rock & roll.
ReplyDeleteLove,

Buddy Holly wasn't my "cup of tea", to be honest. Jx
