Mr Altruistic

It’s 1.55am Sat morning, and I’m sipping on a coffee whilst I’m glued to the idiot box watching Apollo race Rocky across the beach, in the classic Rocky III (1982), on free-to-air tv. You know the one where Clubber Lang aka Mr T beats the stuffing out of Sly who then enlists the help of Apollo Creed aka Carl Weathers to take his game to another level. He teaches him how to “Dance like a butterfly, sting like a bee” Real awe-inspiring stuff. Before that, Oliver Stone’s oscar-winning epic Platoon (1986) was on, and before that I watched NZ thrash Canada in the rugby world cup. During all of that, between wiping the emotional tears away and doing one-arm push-ups to Eye of the Tiger, I managed to knock over the Florence photos. I took a hundred, and knocked it down to 21. I “Pity the fool” who doesn’t enjoy those shots!!!
