Shed those dowdy feathers and fly, a little bit

Just as warmer air starts to sweep across the UK, it's time to head back to the confines of work. All I want is to potter in the garden while we have that rare opportunity. In spite of everything, things have been burgeoning and need attention, but for the majority of the "summer" it has been too uncomfortable to spend time out there, even to enjoy the fruits of our labours...

Never mind, it's another Tacky Music Monday - and who better than our beloved Mitzi Gaynor (who was 84 on Friday) to help cheer things along?

Here, she and her safety gays take on Georgy Girl - and win!

Mitzi Gaynor - Georgy Girl

Have a good week, if you can...

Swingin' down the street so fancy-free

We paid a sad farewell this weekend to the original "Georgy Girl", Miss Lynn Redgrave, who died on the weekend. She always seemed the nicest of the bunch, next to her more vocal siblings Vanessa and the late Corin, and lent a certain charm to every film or play in which she appeared. Here she is in her finest hour - in the film for which she will forever be remembered...
