Lovely - kitties will always make me smile. Except when they are sitting on me, staring into my face at 6am saying 'get up and wait on me'.

Beautiful serene photos. I remember Francois Hardy ......... her Tout Les Garcons was a hit on Radio Luxembourg (208M) in the early 60s. Another Francois ........ this time Gall, won the Eurovision for Luxembourg in the mid 60s. Je t'aime is another one that had my pulse racing in those far off days

. Oh, zos Fwench axants!

Here's Francois Gall:

Mon cher Spread, I have something to tell you - it's Françoise Hardy and not François and it's France Gall. Françoise Hardy is still making records and her partner Jacques Dutronc is still doing gigs as well. The singing career of France Gall hasn't been quite as successful.

Is it only my non italian speaking head that thinks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWyEvjq39UM
sounds even more beautiful than http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NY0PbzsaCZU ?

Nothing wrong with her recent ( less than 20 years ago ARF ARF ) trip in Abbey Road with Blur
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojK_y...feature=fvwrel .

She is sublime

Pour cette franc - merci! My French is quite rusty .......... I lived in Rozay-en-Brie for about 7 years from the mid 80s and have only had a few chances to speak it since.

La Brie isn't very far away from where I live - it's one of the mini-regions in l'Ile de France (the one I live in is called le Hurepoix) I like the cheese they make there - either brie de Meaux or brie de Melun and then there's la moûtarde de Meaux.

Hi guys. I needed a smile. I found this song on Youtube. You all just have to sing along with it.

Very good Jellybaby. The lyrics encapsulate the ebay phenomenon of almost voyeurish attraction to other peoples thrash. Have been able to limit my purchases to gadgets, books and household stuff.

Thank you Jellybaby1 - first time I've smiled for many days

But tell me one thing...

Do people really buy Ebay things ?

Yup! Occasionally himself buys books/dvd's/cd's and I buy craft supplies/books/dvd's. Glad you enjoyed the song. I particularly laughed at the excitement in the song at being the 'highest bidder'. I well remember the first time I bid on something, it was terrifying and exciting at the same time. Of course we are soooooo blasé about it now we are more experienced.
