Mick Jagger

 

 

The skeleton front man of the Rolling Stones
I wonder if I'll look like that in ten years?

 

 

26th July 1945

 

Helen Mirren

 

British actress, she played the part of "Our Lizzie" in the film The Queen, she also stared as Elizabeth I in the TV series Elizabeth I. If a film come in TV with Helen in the character list I'm bound to watch it.

Wasn't that a great film where she played the part of Chris Harper in The Calendar Girls?

J J Cale

 

 

That's new for me, I didn't know he was dead, but 74 is a good age

 

I can remember back in the early seventies, sat in the Santa Fee Bar in Westerland, Sylt listening to JJ's  first album Naturally. It is sooo laid back with songs such as "After Midnight", "Call Me The Breeze" or "Cocaine"

 

Thoughts:

 

Driving home today I at last stopped at the maze fielg to takea photo . Hasn't the farmer made a good job of pimping up the field? The perimeter of the field is sown with sunflowers, my second question is: How did he manage that? The drill isn't built to sow single lines of seeds is it?
Yes it can be, I've just Googled and look what I've found:

 

 

 The drill can feed eight or twelve rows. That's new for me, isn't it great how you can learn something new every day just bloging?

The pimped maze field
Look at what I caught in my photo, up in the left corner: a butterfly

It's sunflower time

Small but mine
