I did not know this ABBA song existed up until last Thursday.
If the video seems familiar, it was used in a slightly edited form for “Nina, Pretty Ballerina” (my favourite ABBA video) which I’ve also posted here.
I get the feeling that this was the original video and it was shot for this song specifically because the lyrics fit in with the shooting more than in the “Nina..” video.
Another by these two beautiful ladies.
Baccara: Mayte Mateos in black, and María Mendiola, in white “Sorry I’m a Lady”
Sadly María Mendiola passed away in 2021 at the age of 69.
In keeping with the song I give you a short quote from Raphael Minder’s memorial article in the “New York Times” of Friday, September 24, 2021, (Section B, Page 11 / submitted from Madrid).
“Their debut, at a club in Zaragoza, was short-lived: The management fired them for being “too elegant” — another way of saying that they refused to do lap dances for the club’s patrons.”
Okay, let’s try this version.
I’m surpised the VEVO version isn’t available to you; its headquarters are in New York City. You’d think they could pull an override.
In the Seventies – “Pop nach Acht” (weekdays) with Thomas Gottschalk and “Die Schlager der Woche” (Friday) on the radio, “Disco” with Ilja Richter on TV…
One of my favorite flowers, an amazing plant that startled and enchanted me, when I first saw it while walking my brother’s dogs in the hills of Oakland, California, is sometimes called the fried egg plant, or the fried egg poppy.
It’s native to southern California and Mexico, but more rare in northern California, as it doesn’t like our cold foggy nights.
…
It’s really called the Matilija poppy, or tree poppy, and supposedly grows about 4 to 10 feet tall, but the ones I found were taller.
The blooms are as wide as large dinner plates, with white petals surrounding bright yellow centers.
I’d love to grow it, but it’s hard to establish, too gigantic for my tiny yard, invasive, and after all that, not very hardy.
The ones i saw, which I afterward walked up to see many times, were long established, and had branched into trees, though the “trunks” were actually giant flower stems.
I couldn’t find a picture like them… wish I’d taken some.

Woohoo 8. I’m thrilled because I thought I had only 6. somewhere I miscounted one and another one I found I had discounted as a copy/paste effect. Only two songs today, so not as much time to search (I doubt I’d have found any more anyway).
From things you have said, I don’t think you drive anymore, and I doubt YMM is up to it either right now.
I do hope you have some kind of home care coming in (or at least a well stocked freezer).
we have a housekeeper, mmm already has been doing the laundry. and he’ll be allowe to drive in a few days. our D-I-L wrote a folder full of what’s in the freezer, and what shelf it’s on. we’re ok!
we just finished watching all 6 hours of qualifying for the indy 500. we advanced a whole bunch. tomorrow they finish. we’ve never sat soooooooooooo long before! race day should be terrific!

Wish that i could smell it.
Well, you probably can…
But computer screens (hopefully) don’t have much of a scent.
I suggest sniffing the real flower instead of a picture. 😁
Freeze the screen and smell the roses instead.
very pretty, even tho yellow is my least favorite color.
here you go
awwww! very pretty!
That’s what I like too.
I’ve read articles over the years that say red roses are trite, and you should give yellow or pink instead….
I’m here to say no!
Red roses are the best!

“Smile for the camera.”
Yes, I realize it’s not a photo.
look at all those teeth!
I’d rather not!

Oh, sure, the famous fried egg plant. Bit macabre having the chick staring up at it.

“Storm movin’ in over the cape.”
I’m 99% certain this is by Peter Holme III, but I cannot find a copy on his official website.
Looks more like a lighthouse to me.
Fun game!
Poor doggie! Bite em!~
I thought he was going to throw the blanket over the dog.
I’ve known dogs who loved that game…
One tried to get made into the bed, so she could fight her way out.
So that’s how it’s done!
One.
No joke. I can only find one.
Good night people and pets.
With the way he’s eyeing that red velvet cake, I wouldn’t trust that Yorkie.
Loved the Little Richard set. And that adoption story, so sweet.
Good evening, Cleo Pals and Puzzle People.
I was wondering whether everybody had questions and I’d have to apologize for being late, cos I had a late phone call.
(Another friend in the hospital! This has to stop!)
But I only see one comment about the puzzle.
I’m sure you’ll find more, Happy³!
…
I do think a few of these difference are a bit harder to see than last week’s… But you can find them.
Meanwhile, it’s an amusing picture, if a bit fuzzy in some details, so it’s fun to search.
And when you’ve finished, you can see what I’ve found, by
Woohoo 8. I’m thrilled because I thought I had only 6. somewhere I miscounted one and another one I found I had discounted as a copy/paste effect. Only two songs today, so not as much time to search (I doubt I’d have found any more anyway).
I got seven, then my eyes crossed.
i only used a quick glance, but i still found 5!!
I’ve got nine and missed an obvious one.
Missed a tiny one. I’m okay with that.
thank all of you for your wonderful support! MMM is getting better each day. our daughter has to go home tomorrow. (:
the nuclear bone scan isn’t until the end of june.
so now i can get back in the swing.
xxoo
From things you have said, I don’t think you drive anymore, and I doubt YMM is up to it either right now.
I do hope you have some kind of home care coming in (or at least a well stocked freezer).
we have a very well stocked freezer!
I’m so glad he’s improving!
I wish your daughter could stay, but I’m sure she has a life to get back to. Glad she could do what she did.
I, too, hope you’ll have.some help at home!
Please don’t take on too much…. either of you!
we don’t have any appoinments un til the end of the month
I’m thinking about things like cooking and cleaning, and grocery shopping, and laundry.
Neither of you should be doing all of it!
we have a housekeeper, mmm already has been doing the laundry. and he’ll be allowe to drive in a few days. our D-I-L wrote a folder full of what’s in the freezer, and what shelf it’s on. we’re ok!
