It was the Manfred!

Manfred Mann - one of my favourite mod bands of the 1960's and were such a large part of the British invasion that the tv show "Ready Steady Go" used this song for their theme. They featured presenters such as Cathy McGowan and Keith Fordyce and early shows were presented by Dusty Springfield.

Some of the musicians on their show were The Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Supremes, The Kinks, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Helen Shapiro, Freddie and the Pacemakers, Hermans Hermits, The Dave Clark Five, The Who, Georgie Fame, Sandy Shaw, Gene Pitney and many more.

A few years ago episodes of this show were re-aired - I wish they'd bring it back.

Why aren't they allowed to run? Maybe that's what happened to all the band members in the background - they all ran into each other?

He does? Well I hope he's got a good spade to dig them with...

Ok....what's his dad done this time?

My week - the daughter is off to high school

Today I'm on library duty, since I started work again part time I've had to swap my day there from Monday to Saturday. I enjoy it as I get to be in one of my favourite places full of books - it's all good.

The time has come for my daughter to be enrolled in high school for next year. I had a nice chat with the assistant principal and I'm sure my daughter will be fine once she starts. Can't believe how quickly time flies though.

I was a big forgetful last week, my car warrant of fitness was due in August and I forgot all about it. I managed to book it in to the nearby garage where they examined it and promptly announced the front brakes had gone and an airpump had leaks. Just over $300 later I got my car back - ouch, talk about a dent in the purse.

Oh yeah, the husband and I bought a new bed. Our old one was over 10 years old and it was to the point where it sagged and when we got up in the morning we'd have very sore backs and necks, it wasn't helping us at all. If you're on facebook you will be able to see the uploaded photo on my page.

Enjoy your weekend :-)

Image of the week - Mr Ray and his four models

The caption to this says "Mr Ray and his 4 models". Anyone know who he is? Anyway I love how they are all dressed up in their finery with those fine bouffant hairstyles.

Have you heard of anything weirder?

I got you babe - Cathy McGowan and Mick Jagger

This clip is very entertaining! Cathy McGowan from Ready Steady Go and Mick Jagger and pals mime to Sonny and Cher's "I got you babe". Enjoy!
