Does "how don't you don't?" have the exact same meaning as "how do you do?"? I have no idea why this question just occurred to me.
I sang to Becky at the wedding. I was quite nervous! Song is "it's only time" by The Magnetic Fields but all synthed up to sound like The Human League.
This is really happening. Bloody heck. We will be in our new home in less than 24h.
Saint Etienne's wonderful film "What have you done today Mervyn Day?" is on BFI Player. Perfect Sunday viewing
Really like this little ELDO travel scent collection I keep in my suitcase. Apart from maybe Dangerous Complicity which my kids all say smells like someone smoking on a diesel train.
The view from the train window reminded me of one of my favourite songs... "As the sun sets through the CO2, I think of things connected to you.." #stillsmiling #IStartCounting
Replacing my nice lights with normal ones. The new owners have their own.
I will miss this beautiful garden when we move, but equally I lack the skills and time to properly look after it.
Interestingly another Sheffield band also had an album called Hysteria. It suffered very much from not being Dare but with modern ears sounds like it's somehow still from the future. The cassette rammed in the stereo of the USS Enterprise.
Just got a quote to add child1 who is 18 and has a learner's licence to my car insurance. I probably won't be doing that.
Very much thinking about this as a template for my wedding outfit. Alas I do not look like Billy Zane.
At the Berlin spy museum you can take part in this disguise wearing yourself. I think this outfit is perfect because I may look like many things but not very much like an East German spy.
And Herstmonceux which clearly belongs on the border between Belgium and The Netherlands. Not East Sussex. (Actual border modelled by children 1&3 below)
This morning's work listening. Secrets is almost unknown as an album, their record company went bust a few days after this album was released.
Avoid tip runs and throwing away usable things by putting them on Facebook marketplace for ridiculous prices. They go far more quickly than if you try to give them away for free.
Is this the last time I ever mow this lawn? No mow May is approaching as does the house move.
Today's WFH music. Still goosebump inducing. A wonderful, wonderful record.
