“This will never end, ’cause I want more” I’ve been enjoying the world’s recent drift to like, premedieval magic over time. I don’t really know how I got to this song, but possibly by listening to some bardcore (not joking) sent to me by my sister-in-law. Totally great. Jolene, by Dolly Parton, but in like,Continue reading “If I had a heart”

Another Love
This evening, I’m writing between cooking. I’ve got comforting but possibly too warming mac and cheese in the oven, at Alex’s special request. It’s great when favourites are also that easy. He’s great on that count – would be perfectly happy to eat one of three or four favourites over and over, punctuated by theContinue reading “Another Love”
Life is a highway
Can you flipping believe that I’ve written a whole fifty of this format of blog? I can’t, not even a little bit. I was having a think about my blog stats earlier today, because today also is the marker of two months of consistently blogging once a day. I am incredibly proud of myself forContinue reading “Life is a highway”
The Safety Dance
We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behindCause your friends don’t dance and if they don’t danceWell they’re no friends of mine I was definitely tickled when this came up on the playlist for this evening’s blog – not least because it’s a bonkers song with an even weirder musicContinue reading “The Safety Dance”
She’s so lovely
So, today’s song is courtesy of a Guilty Pleasures playlist compiled by Spotify. It really has some bangers on it, and yesterday I went a bit mad and wrote a sneaky couple of lightning blogs to have in the bank for just in case I cannot drag myself through even a cursory sucky blog oneContinue reading “She’s so lovely”
Escape (the Pina Colada song)
A good friend of mine has recently been on a cocktail-making journey, posting is incredible creations on instagram and to me via whatsapp. I’ve loved seeing the creations, starting with delicious-looking hurricanes and heading all over the cocktail map. His new hobby has consumed a decent chunk of his income over the past month orContinue reading “Escape (the Pina Colada song)”
Crazy Little Thing Called Love
This thing, called Love – I am so very glad of it, everyday. This song is an excellent jive, and my jive partner happens to be my beloved human who, when I slump on the couch after a long day, guilt-trips me into a run along a beautiful canal. Some fresh air and some endorphinsContinue reading “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”
A good hearted woman
This song is delightful, and a good picture of the versatility of LeAnn Rimes as a singer – I also love her take on Sixteen Tonnes, which we have danced a foxtrot to many times around the Enerchi dance studio in Claremont. Much love for that situation and all it has meant to me overContinue reading “A good hearted woman”
Don’t cry for me
I used to drive an old, beaten up Opel Corsa Light. We called her Daisy, and she lived a good little life, being my around-town run-about. She would have coped with long distance, had we asked, but Alex’s car was always going to be more comfortable for that. Daisy had no power steering, the radioContinue reading “Don’t cry for me”
Wanted, Dead or Alive
When I was 21, Alex and I went to the Bon Jovi concert that happened in the Cape Town stadium. I had prepared for it for the month before we went by spending every library study session with Bon Jovi blaring or crooning in my headphones. I can see myself, sitting along the long benchContinue reading “Wanted, Dead or Alive”
