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. 👍

Scotland part 2

The second half of the week continued in much the same vein.  We had one rainy afternoon which was actually quite nice to be holed up in the house with the rain lashing the windows.  It probably wasn't quite so nice for the two visitors that came on their bikes but they're tough cookies - and its only water- but I did feel sorry for them having to cycle six miles back down the track in the wind and rain, but given Scotland,  it wasn't as bad as it could be. The big quest for the 2nd half of the week was to find some deer antiers!  The chap that owned the house dropped in to visit - he was a very friendly fella and was chatting about how this was the time of year when all the Stags lost their antlers (he collected them and sold them) so after that we were on the serious lookout.   It's always been Fred's mission to find some dropped antlers....  The Monro baggers continued with the mission to bag the remaining three Monros... there is discussion as whet...

Vigo

We left the ship to explore Vigo. Its a much larger place then we expected... although tbh I hadn't given ut a lot of thought. Its a real mish mash of old and new and having got a map from tourist info we decided to follow the walking trail to the Monte Castro... the highest point of the town.  Most of the town was pretty much as everywhere else... lots of traffic... lots of people... one or two interesting buildings and a lot of shopping. We headed to the art gallery - this has been a year of gallery visits so we we seen o reason to change now.  The Museo de Marco is housed in the towns ex prison building and its very grand. In fact, I think that on this occaision the building might have been more interesting than the art....  Although the visiting exhibition by Susanne S D Themlitz was strangely compelling. It was a huge varied collection of eclectic items... found, salavaged, manipulated and arranged in lots of ways - weirdly inspiring - and mostly enjoyable to look at...

verdant lushness

Its a never ending island hop... today we hopped of the boat at Kingstown, on the island St. Vincents and Grenadine. Once through the usual port duty free - cheap booze and diamonds to go milarkey we were straight into the town... crazy noisy smelly chaos... refreshingly no tat shops for tourists, just local markets and street traders all vying for local sales.  Music blasting from everywhere, cars (very battered and often very pimped) all over the roads - parked in the middle of the street, loading, unloading, chatting seemingly oblivious to the total traffic jam caused behind them...  We walked through this mayhem - the temperatures were rising probably about 30 degrees - tourists evident by trying to walk on the shady side of the street - even when we turned off the main drag and there were less people it was still like carnival time with music blasting everywhere. Its very atmospheric and mostly promotes a good vibe although I have heard '3 little birds' everywhich way a...
