A weed is a plant that is not only in the wrong place but intends to stay.

Charlie Watts was an English musician who achieved international fame as the drummer of the Rolling Stones from 1963 until his death in 2021. One of the band's core members, Watts, alongside lead vocalist and frontman Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, were the only members of the band to perform on all of their studio albums. He cited jazz as a major influence on his drumming style.
Originally trained as a graphic artist, Watts developed an interest in jazz at a young age, and joined the band Blues Incorporated. He also started playing drums in London's rhythm and blues clubs, where he met future bandmates Jagger, Richards and Brian Jones.
In January 1963, he left Blues Incorporated and joined the Rolling
Stones as drummer, while doubling as designer of their record sleeves
and tour stages. Watts's first public appearance as a permanent member
was in February 1963, and he remained with the group until his death 58
years later.
Aside from his career with the Rolling Stones, Watts toured with
his own group, the Charlie Watts Quintet, and appeared in London at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club with the Charlie Watts Tentet.
He died on this day aged 80 in 2021
Hubby had put the second coat of paint at the front of the house.
Then we watched 3 episodes on a series of Monty Python:
There are two types of people: those who walk into a room and say, "Well here I am," and those who walk into a room and say, "Ah, there you are." Frederick Collins
