The weeks and months are flying by, but i love the slight chill outside and the moon looks great.(When you can see it!) ha

Just the internet for finding the lyrics of songs. I was just on a buzz of listening to 'Lake of Fire' by the Meat Puppets. Made famous by the Nirvana cover.

There was one problem for years I was singing "I know a lady she comes from Maynooth...." 😎

Now I know well it wasn't Maynooth. But thanks to the wonders of the internet today I finally found the answer the Lyric was "I know a lady she comes from Duluth...."

And Dulth is St Louis Minnesota. I will probably stick to Maynooth though.

And another song one. I was listening to "Fragile Happiness" from the Super Furry Animals written in 2001. I must not have listened to it for a long while. Because there was a line in it that cracked me up that never had much meaning before.

"Does Will Smith lie?

Does he ever cave in and cry?"

--

I thought to myself how prophetic was that!

My brother was adamant that "You're so vain" went "...and when you're not, you're with some underworld spy or the wife of a postman..."

It took some work (and a pair of good headphones) to convince him that was not the case.

Popping this bubble wrap

Had to get hair and beard cut today, down to my favorite barber at eleven, dreading a Saturday morning queue. Walked in and straight into the chair, bim bam buzz. In and out in twenty minutes.

And I smell like lemons and minty niceness thanks to whatever stuff he sprayed while cutting it :)

A hot chocolate and a seat in an empty garden at the local visitor centre. Blissful few mins peace watching a robin bounce around.

The crisp and dry winter weather we've been getting the last few days.

The friendly tuxedo cat that was sitting my wall today when I got back from the village 😄

Finally found a screw in 85 watt bulb for my bedroom stand lamp…. not that common in store it seems… mmmmm trivial.

Sorted my phone loose charger cable/port woes.

Discovering the timetable for a new bus service through our village which runs late on weekends meaning I don't have to always drive on nights out now 😀

Off topic: misheard song lyrics are known as "mondegreens", after a misheard lyric in its own right.

On topic: going to see Michael Fry later, with pizza beforehand. Cannae wait.

Don’t go into SuperValu very often but when I do and I remember that their own brand chocolate covered peanuts are the best and I can now buy a few bags, that makes me unreasonably happy 😆

Added a one4all voucher to my phone and was able to tap it to pay for stuff in Tesco despite the staff saying it wouldn't work.

Archeron · 30-11-2023 09:14PM

I have a tea brack

DC999 · 01-12-2023 04:50PM

Got gas boiler fixed today and only charged the usual yearly service fee. Wouldn't turn on. House nice and toastie now

I met a huuuge Bactrian camel today.

Had never seen one in real life and never realized how much they are such ginormous fuzzy friendly beautiful impressive animals.

I imagine the ones that run wild in asia would probably be less friendly but the one i met was like a 12 foot tall playful puppy.

Big smiley head on me :)

Car pulled out of exactly where I wanted to park earlier.

Poochie05 · 02-12-2023 08:48PM

Time spent with nice people

Duvet Day · 03-12-2023 12:33AM

A night out with friends when everyone is in brilliant form, fab food, great bar and music like your spotify playlist, roll on next weekend.

Strumms · 03-12-2023 03:28AM

The song Lakes Of Canada by the Innocence mission…..

Good song. Came across it years ago. I even bought the album it came on. Birds of my neighborhood

I don't know if this is a sin, but i just twist bubble wrap to pop most of them at once.

That's one of the acceptable techniques, provided you then go and search for the individual bubbles you might have missed.

Th that I have the space, quiet and resources, I can spend a Saturday afternoon sitting under a hot blanket and sipping ginger tea!

I used to mishear I don’t feel like dancing from the scissor sisters. I thought the line was I’m gonna tear the hole that makes you mine, when actually it’s I’m gonna tell the whole world that you’re mine !
