Weekend Music Share. Thomas Otten. Espiritu.

This week this Hugh has asked us to come up with a favourite song and video that surprised me. I can think of quiet a few that have shocked me but I am not sure I have been surprised .

This video shocked , surprised and thrilled me so much. I was knocked sideways to discover that this song I had loved for ages was sung by a man. A gorgeous looking guy with the most fabulous voice . I think it will surprise you too.

The Singer is Thomas Otten singing Espiritu. He is a French Countertenor.

Thanks to Hugh at Hughs views and news and also thanks to Erika Kind for the inspiration for this feature.

Have a Happy and Surprising weekend everyone !

Stream of Consciousness Saturday. Fab.

LindaGHill said. Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “fab.” Use it as a word or find a word beginning with “fab.” As always, use any way you’d like. Have fun!

Fabulously an Acrostic Poem

Full of promise full of life

Always running full of hype

Blessed with memories and joy

Unisex? Girl or boy

Little things we hold so dear

Out of this world far and near

Unending fun and fashion sense

Sing the old songs sing the new

Living happy not in fear

You and me fab and gear.

And now for something completely different.

After the second world war, due to heavy bombing there was an acute shortage of housing. Here in the UK the solution was envisaged by war-time prime minister Winston Churchill in March 1944, and legally outlined in the Housing (Temporary Accommodation) Act 1944.

Quickly built homes for all those made homeless by the Blitz, they were the perfect solution to the post war problem . The were single story prefabricated homes. The populous affectionately called them the prefab.
