I liked, A Summer Place, it will forever remind me of sunny afternoons in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe (Southern Rhodesia) then.
Nat (King) Cole had some lovely songs and I liked Glenn Miller, especially Moonlight Serenade.
That rang a (very distant!) bell so looked it up & sure enough, A summer place was the theme for a film of the same name, in 1959 I think it was. I never saw it but remember the music.

I bought a little jacket on TM, courier $8 , paid immediately, sent the address off. I got an email back offering me a top that goes under it according to the seller, cheap but has a few marks she tells me... I don't reply to that one, not into marked clothes nor really into being up sold. Then in the middle of the night another email arrives telling me she'll leave the parcel in my letterbox, to which I reply nicely - please don't, the box being on a public walkway parcels get nicked hence my request to couriers to leave by the front door. Another email, when would it be convenient for her to leave at the front door so I tell her anytime is fine, thanks for the offer... And a while later another email, she'll be posting it today.
People are just strange.
The world is a weird place. And humans are crazy...
I went off Gemini people back in the day when one treated a friend of mine badly, & have never been keen on them.
However...I now have one Gemini granddaughter (love her to bits) & two Gemini great grandkids (ditto)...perhaps the universe is teaching me not to generalise.
Ventured over to Northlands earlier & got shower gel, bubble bar & a bath bomb from Lush for a granddaughter's birthday next month. They're hellish expensive, didn't get much change from $60 but their quality is excellent; I do wish the Bodyshop hadn't closed dammit.
Managed another bit of weeding, gradually clearing the big garden & think I'll probably plant pumkins there this time.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
