Music of 2017

Spotify is a music streaming service. You can have access to as much music as your ears can cope with. What I learnt this year is that it provides a playlist of the 100 most played songs during the year. It has been quite an eye opener!
The basic stat is that I use it a lot when I commuting to and from work. 

Here are the basic statistics;
  • I have listened to 23,488 minutes of music (16 consecutive days).
  • 2477 different songs
  • 580 different artists
Pretty impressive I thought. I started listening to my top 100 songs when the problem was identified. That problem was allowing the children to pick songs when we were in the car. Joshua dominated the charts with his 'Ironman music'. This is basically any song in the top 100 that is performed by AC/DC. I don't mind AC/DC; I like them quite a lot. They have, in their day, made some cracking music. They also provided the music for the soundtrack to the film Ironman 2. Hence the 'Ironman songs' title.

Therefore I have no issue with these additions. My daughter however, has caused a bigger problem. Her music taste is not as advanced as my sons. She likes soundtracks from the films she watches. This is mainly, fairy films or princess films. This is the only explanation as I drove home listening to my top 100 when her song came on. The song is called float by K.T.Tunstall and it is from the film Tinkerbell and the Neverbeast, one of my daughters favourite films. 

This is an absolute travesty and does not belong in my top 100 songs. Here below are my top 99 songs











Therefore in 2018 my daughter is banned from listening to music in the car. This is one of my new year resolutions.

A nice sandwich for dinner

As I made my wife a beautiful pair of rolls for a little snackeroona on Saturday afternoon. I took the nice rolls on a nice plate and led them into the frontroom and gave the plate to my lovely wife, who proceeded to ask why one gammon roll was pink and the other was brown. It was at this point that I felt I had a duty, nay a requirement to educate and That the brown gammon roll was in fact a beef roll. Which does explain that variation in colour, i felt.

My relatives criminal Past....

...Or just bad taste. I say this as we have received a very 'kind' present for the baby. One of our friends , may well be interested in this high art fashion item. I say high fashion as I can think of no other description for it, apart from it being the creation of a criminal mind. Either this or my relative, at one stage of her life, stole them from Liberace's kitchen cabinet! I cannot imagine anybody buying them, so they have to be stolen, surely? It certainly proves that 80+ year olds do technically transcend fashion. Behold the pair of rubber gloves we were given as presents! and if you really do want this zoomed in. Then behold the magnificent Be-jewelled gloves and precious stone (plastic) bound by a gold elastic band. I think you will admit that we are very fortunate to have recieved such a class item. We are also open to offers.

Olympic Vomiting

Tonight, we as parents witnessed, what can only be described as epic Vomit, from our daughter, at dinner. Having been fed her Milk at 3pm, and then a fish meal for her dinner at just after 4pm, an average day for her. Then one cough later, and she has been coughing throughout the day, out came this kind of milky green liquid vomit. It didn't dribble it, it came out like water from a fireman's hose. And I would not have been surprised if it could have been high pressure and directional, fortunately the direction in which I happily call the green river of fish and milk, flew straight into the her lipped plastic bib, just below the lip itself. A perfect fill so to speak. It reminded me of my friend Glen, who many years ago now, on a night out, downed a pint of beer in one and then proceeded to insert an exact pint of vomit back into said pint glass, the perfect pint. Astonishing at the time.
