Thought for today:

‘Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cozy, doesn’t try it on.’

‘Life is supposed to be fun. It’s not a job or occupation. We’re here only once and we should have a bit of a laugh.’

— Billy Connolly

Today is twofer Tuesday, two quotes from Billy Connolly.

Billy was one of many artists I worked as stage crew for in the late 70s and early 80s.

And also one of the funniest performers I have ever seen (and I’ve seen him live many times).

The last time I saw him live, at London’s Hammersmith Apollo, my sides hurt from laughing for three hours.

Last night I watched a celebration of Billy’s life, with some impressive talking heads, not the usual run-of-the-mill stuff.

I know this is not necessarily a time when life feels like fun.

I also know that if you can find (or re-find) a bit of fun in your life, it can seem better.

And hence using this quote today – I’m listening to old Billy gags on YouTube.

By the way, tea cosy is one of those UK/US English words – tea cozy in the USA.
