If music be the love of food play on



Given the ridiculous rain scenario we are experiencing up here in the grim north, lack of beach walks means I have resort to drastic but entertaining measures - I've taken to dancing around the sitting room like a mad woman at least once a day for a minimum of 30 mins - often longer- I've been getting all the old tunes out - Faithless, Groove Armada, Leftfield, quite a bit of very old good 70's rock and disco!!! its sooooo therapeutic, burns calories, energy and just reminds me of good music and great parties.  

I wonder how many pensioners to be are currently rocking their crocs off to such an eclectic collection from Led Zeppelin to Underworld... love it all!!!!  its such good fun.

There's very little rhyme and probably even less rhythm to my approach to these daily workouts and choice of music - I'm just slowly working through the old cd collection reminiscing along the way - the odd bit of Abba thrown evoking ridiculous grey goose fueled parties in the old days, DJ Manflesh in the house, DJ Yuri Cosmos 27 hour long space epics.... David Bowie days as I cooked family Sunday lunches, bit of Motown, and trying to remember the potential sound track to the wild west fancy dress party we held in Otley town centre for my 22nd(?) birthday celebrations.

Lets dance

Dr Fred provides some alternatives using Spotify for a change and more contemporary feel but really I'm enjoying revisiting the old old favourites and just have a good old boogie in the corner!!! 

I dont know about music being the food of love but its certainly a good way to burn calories if you love food!!!

    Great choice of tunes there Ruby. Sometimes nice to listen to solid state media rather than virtual! I would imagine that not many pensioners are rocking their crocs of too those tunes but that's whats makes your household so very special. 👍

Alesund

Our final destination stop was Alesund. This is a very pretty town in southern Norway built on a peninsula. All the houses are painted pretty colours and a lot of the architecture is all very Art Nouveau based. This is because the town itself was completely burnt to the ground In 1904 by a fire for which they never found the original cause. The whole town had to be rebuilt and this became a huge National Effort and a lot of prominent and up and coming architects flocked to the town to stick there 20 pence in. Consequently the town is very heavily Art Nouveau which was very fashionable at the time. There is this wonderful Museum just off the harbour which is a very beautiful Art Nouveau house. It has amazing panelling, doors, wallpaper, and it's all furnished with beautiful art Nouveau Furniture. It also house a collection of of enameled Art Nouveau Trinkets,boxes, spoons, jewellery, very very beautiful.   There is an interesting collection of old books and paintings a...

Autumnal Garden Days

I love these (rare) warm sunny late summer days and there is all sorts of lovely things  going on in my garden... I counted 12 red admiral butterflies whizzing around the over grown ivy which I had been about to hack down but then left until the flutterbies have finished with it... The late blooms add a dash of colour and the daisy strewn lawn is littered with autumnal leaves, debris from my brief half an hour of slash and burn and the stone wall is covered in glorious soft moss all shiny and tactile with a few late nasturtiums loitering. I've hacked out the brambles for this year, sadly I missed the fruit as we were away, ditto the strawberries, we never seem to get the fruit before the birds so I've made space and moved the plants that were getting swamped and so not performing to their potential - hopefully next year they will literally blossom now they have light and room to flourish.

Goodbye Dissertation!!!

The dissertation is finished...  it took me ages to do all the detail stuff Harvard referencing ect... the simplest tasks were starting to drive me mad!! I cant believe how long it took me to work out how to number pages excluding the first two pages aagghhhh...  I suppose I should be grateful that its not like the olden days where you had to get it typed and bound before hand in - this essay has been a hard slog, a subject which I felt was interesting - how the digital explosion is ruining traditional creative methods turned into a fairly unexciting - pretty boring unexceptional topic!  there will never be a next time but my advice is think of something funky - does Danny Boyle like garden Gnomes - Racoon meets Lady Gaga - anything that might surprise you but not too grown up!! I have worked hard and will be rewarded with a mid grade because there is no passion in this essay - the hard slog is evident as is the lack of enthusiasm - C'est la vie you cant win them all....
