Please excuse me if posts and visits are thin on the ground this week. I have a lot of real life catching up to do and the only way is to try to stay away from the computer for a while. The good thing is we’ll have family here – always a pleasure.
Nina Simone! A fantastic singer, but what a pill! They recently published a biography of her and I never realized what a train wreck that woman was. With great talent, sometimes, comes great madness.
What fun... Enjoy you family time and have a great week !
I unfortunately or fortunately depends on which way you look at it will be talking to lawyers, trust and financial people all week.... need but mind bending at any time.
Family and fun are the best reasons not to be blogging. Hope the sun is shining down your way (it's not here: grey and rainy). Hello, I'm back! And doing everything in the wrong order. Word verification: pesti. Can't possibly have any significance ;-)
Yes, I can always listen (and watch) Nina Simona, surely the most all-round talented of all female jazz singers. But, as the others have pointed out, what a nutter!
Gadjo: top of the morning to you. Re the Diva - clearly I need to do some googling. Sometimes it seems the larger the talent the more impossible the person. Picasso leaps to mind.
Eryl: I did google her but failed to discover her less lovely side. It's been great with the family - I'm exhausted, fat and full of determination to finally finish the writing stuff I have to send off.
I've been rather tardy getting over here Pat...I hope you are enjoying your Family's Visit....I know you so enjoy your times with each of them....And I'll see you when you return, my dear....
GG: that's great. I've missed you. It's chaos here. Our long lost handy man is here - he is in much demand and MTL has given him a list of stuff to do - all over the house and garden and I never know where he's going to pop up next and more family this week-end.

ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time with family, Pat!
ReplyDeleteI always loved Nina's voice - didn't know she was a "train wreck".

LOM: I can hear you from here;)
Mapstew: I will. Thank you;)

You enjoy yourself, girl!

Randall: I knew you'd understand;)
ReplyDeleteIsn't there a story about Simone shooting her neighbour's cat, can't remember why?
ReplyDeleteI hope you have enjoyed your family being around, have a good weekend.
