It's been a gloriously sunny and warm Bank Holiday for a change, and I've spent another exhausting day in the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers - potting-on loads of otherwise neglected plants (and a few of the newer ones we purchased at The Gardening Club yesterday) into fresh compost; I barely scraped the surface, to be honest, as there are still dozens yet to go...
I haven't forgotten, however, that it is a Tacky Music (Easter) Monday! With only a few weeks to go till our next Spanish holiday, let's revisit one of our faves from that country.
Miguel Bosé (for it is he) is a megastar in Spain, with 21 albums, roles in more than 35 films (including Pedro Almodovar's High Heels and the award-winning French film La Reine Margot) and his own television show. His father was one of the country's top bullfighters Luis Miguel González Lucas, and his mother Lucia Bosé was a renowned Italian actress, who counted Luchino Visconti and Pablo Picasso among her friends. From that promising start it was obvious that Miguel was destined for a life in the spotlight.
Of course the fact that he was cute must have helped. The fact that he's also as gay as a handbag full of rainbows probably helped too - I expect it made his mum proud, if not his dad!
In this season, what could be more appropriate than his mega-hit - about The Devil [the cover version of which by Las Seventies remains one of our all-time faves]?
Scarily, Señorita Bosé celebrated his 70th birthday on Friday!
Have a good week, dear reader.
