Source: My Spotify playlist ‘Time to Move on‘. I have a bunch of playlists I add to over time, which I listen to when I want to get myself (back) into a certain headspace. It seems since 2018 I have finally got my head round Spotify (2018 Lyndsey was unimpressed) just in time for us […]
Fuck me, it’s 2025
They say everything that was once passé eventually becomes fashionable again. Also, I need a place for stuff to go that isn’t just LinkedIn or one of those other increasingly dodgy social media platforms. And so, in a fit of retro nostalgia, I am bringing back the blog. More specifically, MY blog. I pretty much […]
Song of the Day: Lexsoul Dancemachine ‘Beef Grinder’
Source: Spotify’s ‘experiment weekly’ or whatever it’s called. Comment: I don’t get on with Spotify at all, I just don’t find it even remotely intuitive. Gavin, however, loves it. This came on while we were driving to Manchester for a friend’s 40th birthday party last weekend and it is one of the best tracks I’ve […]
Haul
With all this minimisation going on around here, it’s getting increasingly hard to buy or think of presents. One of the key reasons we didn’t have a wedding list is because we already have at least two lifetimes’ worth of Stuff between us. I feel Gavin got the short end this year, as his birthday […]
Song of the Day: Smoove & Turrell ‘Slow Down’
Gavin got me an Ultimate Ears Boom 2 for Christmas, as I recently realised that the majority of my music and podcast listening occurs in the kitchen. I’ve also been using Amazon Music on my phone because, try as I might, I just cannot get my head round Spotify. It is an alien language to […]
Song of the Day: The Housemartins ‘Happy Hour’
Another one that’s just been rattling around in my brain. Might explain where some of my dance moves originate from though.
Blitva!
This has got to be one of the simplest, tastiest recipes I have had in a very long time. I plan on making this A Lot over the next while. Looking around the internet, pretty much every recipe is exactly the same (chard, spuds, garlic, olive oil , salt & pepper), so I’ve chosen to share this one from Naturally Sofia, because the pictures are very nice.
What do you get if you cross an introvert with a group holiday tour? Coping strategies
I’ve just got back from a week in Croatia with my Mum. This is not the first coach tour holiday we’ve been on and I doubt it’ll be the last. Over many years, we’ve figured out that having a schedule to follow – crucially, set by someone else – allows us to see many sights […]
Song of the Day – Manfred Mann ‘Mighty Quinn’
Source: A delightful surprise by Loz and Vo, playing at the Dark Horse, Moseley on Thurs night. Comments: It’s been a social weekend, lots of catching up with people and making plans for more get-togethers. Good stuff. I have this on vinyl somewhere, a relic of my childhood and a very happy memory.
