‘Never in the field of human conflict… 70 years ago today

We weighed the pup at the vets yesterday, he tipped the scales at 14.3 kilo, at four months of age. Later, we took him for his evening walk, in fields above the village where there is a wood. We came upon a family of rabbits, youngsters skipping around in a field, but Frenchie ignored them. As we returned to the car though, he perked up. Swallows were flying around inches above the grass, and speedy went after them. He is fast, but not that fast. It was hilarious though.

Music is moonlight in the gloomy night of life.
Jean Paul Richter

Goodnight everyone, sleep well.

Mark well the words on tolerance.

A BEAUTIFUL MESSAGE ABOUT GROWING OLD:

Crap … I forgot what it was…..

Corruption never has been compulsory.
Anthony Eden

Goodnight everyone, sleep well.

Over the last few weeks I have concentrated almost entirely on the song ‘If you go away/Ne me quitte pas,’ voted by one French paper to be the song of the century. I have found more than seventy versions of the song in various languages, but I think I have played the best – except for one! This features Shirley Bassey singing it to Rod McKuen.
