In St Pete, watching Raiford Starke. He's very good. And the warm-up act played Jambalaya and Streets of Baltimore, so I was pretty happy with the whole set-up. G'night all 🤠

2. Leftover porridge (no sugar)
3. Feeling her big lolloping feet sink into soft sand

Want to give her a forever home?

Still true.
Hoping for good news about dear Barry Humphries.
📸by Annie Leibowitz and 🎨Clifton Pugh.
The problem with Barry Humphries is that he is a multi-dimensional man of culture, wit, words and fun, operating in the age of empty-headed screamers who wouldn't know beauty if it kicked them up the arse. Sometimes I wish his generation would take me with them when they go. ❤️

Vera was treated roughly in her early life so I give her frequent pep-talks. I tell her:
1. Black dogs are, in fact, an exotic rarity.
2. People are stupid. Just because those fools didn't appreciate her it doesn't mean she isn't a queen.
She believes me. I'd never lie to a dog

Burton didn't look right until he gained some age on his face and photographers stopped covering his pock marks. Just like Gregory Peck. He wasn't handsome until he got those deep furrows under his cheekbones.
See also Robert Redford. Better with every decade.
I have my views😉
Remembering today the great Welsh actor

CBE who was born on this day in 1925. Noted for his mellifluous baritone voice, Burton established himself as a Shakespearean actor in the 1950s, as well as showing his talents in films, radio and occasional television.

3. Settles at night, no fuss
4. Good as gold in the car
5. Enjoys other dogs
6. Those cinnamon eyes
7. Smells like biscuits
Can you be her forever home?

They have quite the romance.
Sunny gets amorous when she's hormonal.
She growls at him.
He adores her.
She gets jealous when he gets too much petting.
He adores her.
She steals most of the bedding and leaves him a corner.
He adores her.
