The metal dog sculpture which Ray took a fancy to and bought on our holiday in Bath is looking a bit bedraggled this morning.
It's drizzling steadily and he's festooned with tiny spiders' webs and raindrops. And he's suffering the indignity in one eye of a selfie of me in my pink kaftan taking the shot!
He lives in Jinks' enclosure now, currently next to a lovely large pink hydrangea.
Wendy, I think the drizzle must be coming up country then as it had started at least by 8 o'clock here. I had a really bad night's sleep so happy to stay indoors and hibernate - for a while at least! Soon be time for anther cup of coffee. Thanks for your visit and comment.
Oh he does look a bit sorry for himself. At least I know where all our rain has gone. I knew it would filter through to the northern hemisphere before too long.
Your dog looks quite sticky Hazel....such a great sheen on him just like a toffee apple! You have rain too like @busylady we haven't had any up here!....gloating a bit! I think Jinks did you a favour escaping so you had the idea to make this little sheltered spot!
To answer your question, Hazel, the song "Windmills of Your Mind" is from the 1968 film "The Thomas Crown Affair" and was sung by Noel Harrison. It won the Academy Award for best Original Song."
Leah, thank you - I don't know the film or the person who sang the song so I must just have heard it on the radio - I liked it! (I'm notoriously bad at 'knowing' films, actors, singers etc!)
@lealady@quietpurplehaze : I hope you don`t mind . Wikipedia :
"The Windmills of Your Mind" is a song with music by French composer Michel Legrand and English lyrics written by Americans Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman. The French lyrics, under the title "Les moulins de mon cœur", were written by Eddy Marnay. The song (with the English lyrics) was used as the theme for the 1968 film, The Thomas Crown Affair.[1] The opening two melodic sentences were borrowed from Mozart's second movement from his Sinfonia Concertante for Violin, Viola and Orchestra, K. 364[citation needed].
In the original 1968 film, the song was performed by Noel Harrison who took the song to #8 in the UK Singles Chart. It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1968.[1] A version by Sting was used in the 1999 remake of The Thomas Crown Affair.
No, but it's OK as Jinks is in charge of barking here - at anybody!!!
