So my plans for world domination are coming on apace. AI has been sent from the gods to make life liveable for those of us with non-standard brains. This morning, I’ve been chatting with my business advisor (ChatGPT 😉). ‘She’ now has enough information from our previous chats about the business I plan to launch […]
Song of the day: Sneaker Pimps ‘6 Underground’
Source: My subconscious, re-surfacing this from the depths of my brain, during a dream about going on a city break to attend the opening of a new Boots store.
Song of the Day: Fruit Bats ‘The Bottom Of It’
Source: This one’s on my Utopian Vibes Only playlist, for when I need reminding to see things in a better light.
Shades-Remade Redux
In 2022, after I’d passed my Domestic Electrical Installer City & Guilds but before I realised just how knackered I was post-lockdown, I started the ball rolling on a new venture called Shades-Remade. The idea being that I would find vintage, generally glass but not always, light shades that I thought were interesting and give […]
Song of the day: Birdtalker ‘Old Sob Story’
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 […]

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 […]
