    I was an early 90s goth, DMs, short skirts and silver jewellery. Honestly my fashion sense hasn't moved much 😂

  • Just to show my age, a friend and me went halves on the the Beach Boys, Good Vibrations 45rpm record, we took it up to her house and played it in her front room, her dad burst through the door grabbed the record and threw it into the fire and said it was indecent! We only heard it the once, and not all of it :D!!!!  I always think of her when I hear it on the radio.

    Nanny, that’s hilarious now, but I bet you were horrified then! I hope listening to that half record didn’t set you up for a life of depravity 🤣

  • Good morning and happy Sunday 📚☕️⭐️
    We forgot to book a MrT slot, but have a day off tomorrow, so will call for some bits then. I have enough in the freezer and cupboards, so it’s no big worry, although it may be an odd combination.
    I am still battling through making half square triangles for a new quilt, so need to iron and trim a load of blocks today…and of course the dog drive 😬
    Yesterdays lunch was lovely and we managed to get to the post office when it was open…although the sign up said a third different lunch closing time!! So random.
    I hope you all have a stupendous Sunday filled with happy things. Please do let me know what you are up to 🌈☕️📚🍫

    Morning from a cold and bright Kent coast. Putting things back in kitchen after decorating done and rearranging along the way. Planning for the next couple of rooms, redecorating whole house, just repainting, couple of new blinds and kitchen flooring. Who knew there were so many roller blinds ........

    have  a fab day all, had to laugh about the Beach Boys record !

  • Good morning
    My parents had to endure me playing FGTH 'Relax' on repeat but my dad didn't throw it on the fire thankfully ;) 
    DDs and i went to the theatre yesterday - tickets were part of my xmas present to them; we had a lovely time.
    Today DDs and i are having croissants for breakfast and then DD2 is going for a walk with her dad.  I hope to have a day of pottering and some fresh air
    love Deni

  • I’m exhausted just reading about the decorating…I found nice blinds are expensive and cheap ones don’t last 😖
    I haven’t been to the theatre for years and years Deni, I’m glad it was good.
