LINSPIRATION AND LINDULGENCE

Welcome to Friday,

Lovely day here in this fair City of Adelaide.  There is a feeling of anticipation in the air - a long weekend - a holiday on the Monday - I'm planning a quiet time at home apart from a football lunch and watching the replay of the Grand Final from last week which was a draw.

Would love to see the Saints Come Marching In.

A nice recipe this time for cooler evenings:

Hope you enjoy this one - I am going to try it this weekend - seems easy which is why it appeals to me.

Lots of things to inspire me today and the sound of laughter was one of them -  from children in a playground to friends who shared a joke or something they thought funny.

Going to share something with you that I thought was funny.

The death of Tony Curtis brought this one up on a radio program last night.

Guy goes into Barber’s shop – says “I want a Tony Curtis Haircut.””

Barber responds with = You want a Tony Curtis Haircut – yep says the guy I do.

Sits in the chair and closes his eyes while the Barber goes to work.

Job all done – all brushed down – client opens his eyes and screams “I said a Tony Curtis haircut – don’t you know who Tony Curtis is ?

To which the Barber replied – “Sure I do – I saw him three times in the King and I.”

Hope that brought a smile to your day and that you have a weekend filled with love and laughter, special times and times of peace.

Love and hugs,

“The most wasted day of all is that during which we have not laughed.”
