Polderdame (1963) woont ergens in de polder. Ze blogt sinds 2003. Deze blog is een verzameling van oude blogs, die ooit offline zijn opgeslagen (dit werk is nog lang niet klaar); sinds 2019 worden er ook nieuwe blogs geschreven. NB: het gebeurt helaas dat afbeeldingen opeens zijn verdwenen! Hiervoor mijn excuses. Wilt u in de reactie van zo'n blog met lege afbeeldingen een opmerking hierover schrijven? Indien mogelijk zal ik ze opnieuw proberen te plaatsen.

Julie Andrews wordt 69!
Net ontvangen van mijn vader:
To commemorate her birthday, actress/vocalist, Julie Andrews made a special appearance at Manhattan's Radio City Music Hall for the benefit of the AARP. One of the musical numbers she performed was 'My Favorite Things' from the legendary movie 'Sound Of Music'. Here are the lyrics she used:
(Sing It! - If you sing it, it is especially hysterical!!!)
Botox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,
These are a few of my favourite things.
Cadillacs and cataracts, hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These are a few of my favourite things.
When the pipes leak, When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favourite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.
Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my favourite things.
Back pain, confused brains and no need for sinnin',
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',
And we won't mention our short shrunken frames,
When we remember our favourite things.
When the joints ache, When the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I've had,
And then I don't feel so bad.
(Ms. Andrews received a standing ovation from the crowd that lasted over four minutes and repeated encores. Please share Ms. Andrews' clever wit and humour with others who would appreciate it)
