Lazing on a Sunny afternoon....

Sunny days in Malaga

Yesterday was a Kinks type of day - we sat in the sun and chatted and drank and then at one point Ciaran checked his email and discovered a great piece of news about PIGSY art!

The reason that I called yesterday a Kinks type of day, is that as I formulated my thoughts for this blog as as well as the blog title, The Kinks "Sunny Afternoon" popped in to my head.

The tax man's taken all my dough
And left me in my stately home
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
And I can't sail my yacht
He's taken everything I got
All I've got's this sunny afternoon

Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
I gotta big fat mama trying to break me
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime

My girlfriend's run off with my car
And gone back to her ma and pa
Telling tails of drunkenness and cruelty
Now I'm sitting here
Sipping at my ice cold beer
Lazing on a sunny afternoon

Help me, help me, help me sail away
Well give me two good reasons why I oughta stay
'Cause I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazing on a sunny…

Gosh, even reading the lyrics of that song brings back memories. Many's a sunny day in the 1990's was spent by my twin sister and I sunbathing in the garden listening to our Dad's 1950's / 60's record collection when we should have been studying for our final school year exams. The lyrics bring me right back to that time and I hear all of the other songs on the records like "I want to be Bobby's girl" or "Chantilly Lace" -  I will see if my twin sister can remember some of the other songs.

Here's some pics to show that sunny day...
