The only one who can make my temperature rise

Mr DeVice at Inexplicable Device did a splendid job of hosting this year's Garden Photos Event, of which we were proud to be a part - but it's just as well it's all over now, as the temperatures have plummeted, and the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers have been blackened by frost...

It's December!

Hey ho. Another weekend is looming, we'll be playing host to Mother when she visits London tomorrow, and Madam Arcati and I are off to the Barbican Centre tonight for a concert by our beloved Clare Teal and the BBC Big Band!

Meanwhile, let's get the party started in proper sparkly fashion - with a most appropriate number - and Thank Disco It's Friday!

Love Unlimited - It May Be Winter Outside

Have a great weekend, dear reader!

The Walrus of Love

Oh, joy. The weekend is in sight...

It also happens to be the 70th anniversary of the birth of "The Walrus Of Love", Mr Barry White. A man legendary for his influence on fashion for the fuller figure, and on hair styles, his growly vocals on a succession of OTT "seduction Soul" songs in the 1970s were more than likely a contributory factor to the population explosion of that decade.

Who better to guide us funkily towards thoughts of party-planning? [We're already getting excited about Proms in the Park tomorrow!]

Here's Big Barry, introducing his lovely singers Love Unlimited, with their vocal version of his orchestral hit Love's Theme - Thank Disco It's Friday!

Barry White's Love Unlimited Orchestra - Love's Theme

Have a funky and seductive weekend, one and all.

Barry White (born Barry Eugene Carter, 12th September 1944 - 4th July 2003)

In my heart it's Spring

Here at Dolores Delargo Towers, as we prepare for our second riotous booze-fest to see 2011 in safely, it may be winter outside, but... Thank Disco It's New Year's Eve!!
