I Swear it was Friday about 2 Minutes Ago?!

And Monday rolls around again...sneaky wee bastard!

That means its time to play some music and rock the house. 

Speaking of rocking music, I got gifted tickets to a show called Rock Royalty at The Barnyard Theater at Emperors Palace.  An extremely talented bunch of singers and musicians blasted the speakers with AC/DC, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Led Zepplin and even Tina Turner.  They had us all rocking in our seats.  My daughters were on their chairs pounding the air and playing air guitar.  It was a great family outing with a LOT of whoohooing and wiggling our bums.

A kick-arse show for Rock Lovers!  Go get your tickets and rock on! \m/

You WILL be up dancing and rockin' out.


and now back to the Theme which actually is BIG BAND here is Robbie Williams,  performing his big band swing stuff 

 

This is a South African Swing/Jazz Band called The Swingsetters. I discovered them over a year ago. They are a Cape Town band. Give them a listen 



Now hop on over to Xmas Dolly, sign up and share yer Big Band Toon.  Enjoy the rest of your Monday, Plonkers!

Happy Friday, Plonkers!

What do you want from Santa this year?

Have you even thought about Christmas?  or are you one of those people who plan Christmas from October?  Do you have all your Christmas shopping already done and gift wrapped?  Are you one of those that have lists for everyone and everything?  Lists of the lists?

I'm one of those people who leave Christmas until the middle of December and then go do all my shopping.  I normally only wrap Christmas gifts a few days before and I'm an impulse shopper.

However, I have made a Pinterest Christmas Wish List last year.  Not that anyone looked at it, but just in case someone wants to stumble across it and buy me a little somethin-somethin.

Have you thought about Christmas yet?

Are you one of those that plan ahead?

Are you on Santas naughty or nice list?

Hotter Than the Bottom of My Laptop

Well, butter my bum and call me a biscuuit!  We're enduring a Heatwave here in Johannesburg, South Africa. 

We've been struggling with temperatures of between 32 and 36 degrees C.  It's even worse when you're traveling in the car!

It's been unbearably hot and I'm battling to sleep at night because we don't have air conditioners - only fans!  I have heard that wrapping a damp scarf around your neck, or using damp sheets at night keeps you cool... 

Immediately, I thought of my mum who would say "that will make you catch your death, or even worse, Pleurisy".  My mum loves to say "catch your death" and low and behold, my sister and I are still around to tell ALL the stories...

Well, last I heard someone contracting pleurisy was...oh wait! NEVER, so I really don't think I have much to worry about.  Bring on those WET SHEETS.  Let's lube-up for the night.  Just don't tell my Mum.

Have you any other tips from staying cool in 40 degree weather?!!?

Monday Music....Is that still a "Thing"?

Happy Monday, Plonkers!

Today when I was running on the treadmill, this song came on VH1 and I hadn't heard it for YONKS!

I thought I'd share it with you.  Only the bloggers that grew up in the 80s will remember this one.

Remember to link up over at Xmas Dolly and share your Toonz

 

 then I got completely distracted by all the old 80s recommended links on the right.
