Can I add that if I'm thinking of a band that has always been around and maybe I don't listen to all the time but when I do I still love them. They have stood the test of time so that you could pick many a tune from way back all the way through their illustrious career
Oh my lord - I don't think I have a favourite ever artist - it probably changes with something new I've found at any given time. Perhaps the Kill Devil Hills I was listening to a lot at one stage and still love
Like Logman I've read Perfume and it was a good read and the film somehow managed to capture the feel of the book really well I thought. I also read The Butterfly Collector quite a few years ago and don't think I finished it as it was a disturbing read and I'm not one to give up too easily on a difficult theme. The most disturbing read that I never got very far with (just a few pages from memory) was a Marquis De Sade book that I decided to purchase after watching Quills - I think I imagined a Geoffrey Rushlike figure who was possibly misunderstood - but no it was very unsavoury .
He did make it home from the hospital in the end but I heard from his older brother today that he had passed a short time ago and that it was a stroke that he didn't recover from. Can I thank you all for the kind messages and thoughts about him.
Some very sad news to pass on as Gareth/Blob/Son of Pugwash has passed away. I know he loved it on here mostly as Blob and then as his later incarnation - such terrible news.to hear this morning.
My mum could knit - but not as impressive as that - and sew and make the best pasties but those talents passed me by. I attempted a few times in my early years to knit a small scarf having been set up with all the first row of knitting on the needles and still only succeeded in producing a pennant shape of sorts having tightened and dropped stitches all over the place (are they called stitches) - I chose football instead.
I don't like Eastenders or the Carpenters but I do watch Garden Rescue and I found I was listening to a bit of bluegrass and possibly even what one might call folk music during lockdown oh and I started watching plane spotting on youtube
I only caught the highlights and they were all a thing of great beauty. I told my friend who went to watch Swansea with me (that first half hour before I was ill) and was pretty scathing about what he'd seen to watch it just to show that we aren't just the sum of that 30 minutes.
