This poster is seen EVERYWHERE these days. But it was originally created in 1939 at the beginning of WWII to raise British morale in case of an invasion. The creator is not known but 2.5 million posters were printed. In 2000 it was rediscovered and has gone rather viral.
Soon, many incarnations of the original poster began to pop up.
Since I write many music themed blogs I like this one.

And of course, Paul is my favorite.

Afternoon tea needs a little sweet. Make mine chocolate,please.
Sunday morning and 8:00 and the opinion polls are already starting. Grrr.
I'll just go to my peaceful place in my head.
But it's Sunday morning! I'm drawn to write a little something.
And later I meet with some of my favorite people of the last 16 years: my book group.
Focus, Schmoopie, focus.
Alright, enough already.
Happy Sunday, OS!
And now for a musical version.
