Rest in Peace

Spent many a summer re enacting the pink ladies with my friends. Sandy was our idol as youngsters. RIP to the beautiful and always classy Olivia Newton John

Totally Devoted to you is my all time favourite song of hers x

It was the first 'single' I ever bought. I was about 8 years old and it was a treat for being good at the (butcher) dentists.
My favourite from Grease was Rizzo (Stockard Channing) but I loved Sandy (Olivia), too. R.I.P., lovely woman.
She was so incredibly pretty, even as she aged.

I read Olivia NJ and Ben Elton are cousins.

Cancer is a fight. It is a battle. Its so hard.
Those that dont make it, it doesnt mean that they didnt fight hard enough. No, not that.

Surprised that Shane is still hanging in there after the abuse he’s given himself over the year’s.

Shane and Keith Richards made a deal with the devil a long time ago. They’ll outlive us all.

And Ozzy I remember him being interviewed once and they asked him if he'd ever consider writing his autobiography ,he said " It would be the thinnest book in history I can only remember about 2 pages of it "

The author Raymond Briggs has died.

This has broken my heart.

The author Raymond Briggs has died.

I have a CD of Bernard Cribbins narrating The Snowman.

Now both him and Raymond are gone.

When The Snowman first came out I watched it with my late mother. It was so magical and a special memory.

Now tinged with great sadness.

 

[L3moning]

I always found The Snowman creepy and *hated* the song from it. And I thought Raymond Briggs died 10 years ago.

Sad news though.

For anyone who is interested, this is one of the most beautiful books I've read.

I think all the rolling stones members did haha. They must have all gone through copious amounts of substances through the decades, but they are all still here, except for charlie watts, who still lived 'til 80.

There was a really good programme on BBC Wales last night about Olivia Newton John and her sister comng to Wales to find out about their Welsh ancestry. The ending was moving when they were reunited with their Dad's sister after many many years.
