Just a quick post today as I’ve been very busy! Will update properly over the next few days.

OOTD 9th March 2019
OOTD: outfit for dashing about! Scarf Marks & Spencer (2017), t-shirt Lauren Ralph Lauren (modern but bought from Headlock Vintage 2018), jeans H&M (thrifted from Steff 2016), socks unknown brand (2007), trainers Reebok (2013).

Today’s earworm playlist:

Gala – Freed From Desire
Sam Smith and Normani – Dancing With A Stranger
James Arthur – Naked
Dee Cooke – Summer Rain*
Dee Cooke – Prayer At The Bus Stop**
Mark Ronson and Miley Cyrus – Nothing Breaks Like A Heart

Men Without Hats – Safety Dance
Robbie Williams – Something Beautiful
The Proclaimers – Letter From America
D:Ream – Things Can Only Get Better
Duran Duran – Come Undone

*One of my own compositions, a chilled-out EBM number from circa 2013, which has only ever existed in my head.

**Another of my own compositions, a campfire-style song from circa 1998, which again has only ever existed in my head. I’ve not had any of my own daft musical attempts as earworms for years, and suddenly two of them come along on the same day. Rather like buses, appropriately enough.

Just a quick post today as Geth and I are heading off to a gig! I’ll tell you all about it tomorrow.

(I do want to mention that I watched that Eurovision: You Decide show and the chosen UK song is not hook-y enough in my view. The show was worth watching for the Fizz and Katrina during the ‘history of UK Eurovision entries’ bit though!)
