Today has been the perfect day to have friends in to lounge in the back and enjoy some lovely, refreshing sustenance of a few Pimm's Cups, some cucumber sandwiches and other little edibles.
And of course, enjoy the new release of Bananarama's newest.
And since it's hot as hell...their performance from 2018 in London Eventim Hammersmith Apollo.
Pimms and Bananarama! Are you sure you're not British? Jx
ReplyDeleteI think I've had British in me numerous times.
DeletePimms and cucumber sandwiches!!!!! Ill be right there. The perfect refreshment for a hot day indeed. And love me some Bananarama! They still got it! Let the 40th anniversary celebrations commence!!
ReplyDeleteLovely cocktail that, and all that fiber and anti-oxidants! Practically a health food.
ReplyDeleteNothing like it Spo on a hot day.
DeleteLovely refreshments and nibbles, the perfect antidote to an August Sunday afternoon!
ReplyDeleteAgreed Bob. Even the hot weather couldn't hamper things.
DeleteI'm coming to your house on Sundays my darling!!!! William and I loved Pimms on hot summer days. They really are quite a refreshing and cooling drink. Yours look very tasty as do the cucumber sandwiches. How nice someone even still makes them.
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhh Agnes, you have an open invitation any time. And I love me cucumber sandwiches in the summer, one of my favorites.
DeleteI've drunk Pimm's every summer for over a decade, but when I think about it, the flavor of Pimm's is really hard to describe. But to be sure, they are very refreshing. My lands do Bananarama still sound and look good. Love their new tune.
ReplyDeleteIt is Madame Redfern. I drank it straight once to try it and it was horrid. Much better mixed that's for sure.
DeleteSounds like a perfect afternoon of entertaining!
ReplyDeleteBananarama? Are you kidding me?
ReplyDeleteJust because they ended here with Cruel Summer and Preacher Man...doesn't mean they stopped. They've been going strong in Europe ever since.....
DeleteMany, many hits, live appearances and tours, a reunion of the original trio, a return to a duo, a best-selling "autobiography", and they are still a top-billing act, 40 years on... Jx
DeleteI love Pimm's too!!!! A summer treat. You can also make a Pimm's Royale. Exactly the same recipe but swap the iced tea for champagne. Just be careful …. It is very alcoholic 😂 Then enjoy the Bananrama! I had no idea they were still around?!?
ReplyDeleteThey sound lovely!!! I have to watch champagne...it makes me naughty.
DeleteI also have set of glasses like that.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
A jam glass. How versatile are they?
DeleteLOVE me some Bananarama!!!!! The new song is tres chic. And even as simple of the fruit ingredients in that first picture, that is a great picture. Make me happy for some reason and I didn't even have one of your drinks.
ReplyDeletePimms and Bananarama. Can I join you?
ReplyDeleteStay cool, it was a hot and steamy weekend, and not just in your backyard,
ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect Summer's day.
ReplyDeleteWaitaminit. Bananarama is still around?
ReplyDeleteAnd their still Fabbbbbbuuulous honey.
DeleteHow fun!
ReplyDeleteAnd I LOOOOVE Bananarama. LIke Robzilla, I had no idea they were still around!!!
XOXO
They never went anywhere in Europe....only here. I was smitten with them since the first time I heard Venus. And their Pop Life album was most excellent.
DeleteI'm glad I'm going to Waterpark Wednesday for my birthday, it's hot 🥵
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful and wet Birthday Adam!!!!!! It's tradition here that I take a man over my knee and give him the number of spanks on his touché'
DeleteYou know how to make summer work for you, don't you? If you were a season you'd be summer.

Liking the new Bananarama!

ReplyDeleteWow, I come home tonight, not in the best of moods, but this clip of Bananarama and the band (especially the drummer) doing "VENUS" had me bobbing around like those lucky ones in the audience.
Thank you very much Mistress Maddie!!
