Get Lucky

OK, the first time I saw this (yes, I actually still like to watch music videos on TV) I thought it was rather bland. But this is definitely growing on me...

while I'm sitting here noodling over some gemstones with the sun shining through the window. Waiting for Waitrose to open so I can go and buy some croissants for breakfast in the garden. As you do :)

Welcome back Daft Punk.

Doctor Rockit - Café de Flore

This track was on a compilation I bought many years ago and it reminds me of flaking out for several days on a sunlounger at Florida Plage in Nice, with the sound of the waves rustling against the pebbles on the beach... And as I am off to see my parents in Nice today I thought I'd get in the mood!

(this music was also a kind of leitmotif in the film 'Café de Flore', which is what brought me back to it)
