I rediscovered this little gem of a book my Dad had bought way back when. It was published in Britain in 1965 by an Austrian flautist of all people. Its gentle humour is pretty lovely and despite my sophisticated 21st Century self I laughed out loud to a couple of the newspaper bloopers.
...and in other news, Sydney has been having unseasonably warm weather: 29 degrees for goodness sake!! Anyway, it was rather lovely for walking around in - I shall post the photos we took tomorrow.
I trust everyone is having a lovely Sunday!
That book looks endlessly entertaining!

Sunday is going swell dearest Sam and your book looks and sounds like great fun! My favorite is the cold and warm fronts... :D

Hahahaha! Warm front cold front is pretty priceless. What a fantastic collection. And jealous for that amazing hot weather. Spring is coming really early I think.

Who'd have thought, an Austrian flautist! Reminds me of an obituary that was in the local paper here last week...which included the words 'I feel sorry for all who knew him'!

It is pretty entertaining The Clothes Horse! It's a very cute size to - it just fits into the palm of your hand.
Hi dear Gabbi! Glad to hear that your Sunday is good!
Glad you like it Jill - it's pretty tame humour but it made me giggle nevertheless.
Yes Ana it's been very warm - although I suspect that it will get cooler again for sure! What about in your neck of the woods?
Heee! That's so funny Chrisy! :)
