Funky Flowerpot Man

With a perfect twist of irony, as both I and The Madam are in work today, there's a beautiful clear blue sky out there. Tomorrow and Sunday, it's forecast that the pissing-down rain will return. Dammit!

Never mind, eh? It is the end of the week, and for that (rain or no rain) we should be glad. Let's grab a sequinned flowerpot-hat, squeeze ourselves into a wide-collar nylon jumpsuit and crank up the funky horns, just like Rokotto [whooo?] - and Thank Disco It's Friday!

Rokotto - Boogie On Up

To cheer us all up - that song was in the lower echelons of the UK charts this week forty-five years ago! Gulp.

Have a great weekend, dear reader!

Show and tell and show

Whew. The light at the end of the tunnel is showing...

After a particularly draining week (not just the usual office drudgery, but interrupted rather tiresomely by another cross-London trek to suburban Surrey mid-week - two hours there, two hours back; and not even a Tube strike to blame it on - for a meeting), we have the glitter and the sparkle of a weekend to look forward to.

Madam Arcati and I are swanning off to the final RHS Flower Show of the season tomorrow (trugs in hand), and fingers crossed the weather will be dry enough on Sunday to continue tidying up our wilting garden before the real ravages of autumn take hold. [And speaking of "shows" - we are privileged to note that the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers have once more made it into the Fifth Annual Infomaniac Garden Photos Event - check it out if you haven't already!]

In the meantime, let's get into a celebratory party mood with "the world's coolest Flowerpot Man" and the rest of his long-forgotten band (of gnomes?) Rokotto - they want us to Boogie On Up...

...and who are we to resist? Thank Disco It's Friday!

Have a great one...
