The Idiot Walks.
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Thanks ANDY ~ Love SCARAMOUCHE and he Saxophone ~ brilliant combo ~ AMEN To dress or not to dress ~ that is the Season. I am a bit like you ~ Im not (like some Ladies) Season coded clotheswise. I like cool clothing (not too heavy) so it does rather depend on the \"Temps du Jour\" rather than the Season.
ANGELA is a bit confused by the NZ Weather ! The first three Months June July August have been WINTER ~ but most days it has reached 15F (60C) and the clothes she took are much too work ~ Its now coming into SPRING September October November and it will get even warmer ! It is the sub~tropics ! For retired people there is NO DRESS CODE. I work indoors (except for Field Courses) so it is Centrally Heated in Winter so my work gear is cool casual ~ except for Meetings & Interviews etc when it is FORMAL. Because it is a 16+ College there is no dress code for Students ! Yours BRIAN

I\'m so pleased you are not a naturist. Those people, I wonder if they\'re aware of people staring at them. I couldn\'t do that. Innocently i took my young family onto Studland beach once... quite an eye opener!
I\'m with you, dress for today\'s weather. I always have a lightweight pack-away cagoule in the car in case of threatening skies.

Different strokes for different folks. Great that you are comfortable in your own skin, especially without socks! Enjoyed. Maggie

I tend to get me coat out at the least chilliness. I go by - best to wear one, if need be. I can always take off my coat if too hot. But if not having a coat with me, I may stay chilly all the time.
And yep, we had heating on for a while the other day - September!
I think it depends a lot whether we feel the cold much or not.

It most certainly does ease the troubled mind. However i was once given a record by a polish avant guard jazz group called \'pinski zoo\'. It was music to keep you on the edge of your chair, a pal described it as the most unsuitable music for a dentists waiting room he had ever heard. (dare you to listen!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bTyCWYgeZo

Watched last night of the Proms last night - great fun and I enjoyed it but I do like music I can get lost in - not easy with audience participation.

Laura🌻 said:

Andy,

Thank you for introducing me to Flanders and Swann! The g-nu song...Very entertaining! I enjoyed it very much! I can tell this will be a great weekend...
Friday night ended with Sir Paul McCartney’s surprise concert at New York’s Grand Central Terminal...where I was fortunate enough to be...and Saturday has begun with Flanders and Swann. I’d say that’s a great segue to a wonderful weekend! Life is grand!
Wishing you and Joyce a great weekend.
Love to both of you!

Oh I just love their Gnu song.... so glad you do too! My parents turned us on to them when we were young (we were very odd children for the United States).... I especially love the monologue where they say: \"If God had intended man to fly, he never would have invented the British Railroad\"...... And \"sign saying low flying airplanes - what are you supposed to do? Take off your hat?\"

Mum\'s out, Dad\'s out

Thanks UNCLE MIKE ~ GERRY & CHET two of the best Jazzmen of the 2O th C ~ great melancholic harmony ~ for a lazy hazy Early Autumn Afternoon !
Love the POEM and sharing the in-site of your MUSE. Your lovely POEMS ~ you freely share each day on MPS ~ come from INSIDE YOU ~ AWESOME ! Most of mine (I must confess) are triggered by EXTERNALS. I must learn to be more Poetically Introspective ~ OK Blessings from BRIAN 😎 Love to you and JOYCE from ANGELA 🧡
