Day 10: 👠

I laughed as you wobbled
In your platform shoes…

Always find an excuse to post this one… 🥰

It’s become our Christmas tradition watch - so brilliant 🥰

Graffiti on the side of a building of a man in a hat pouring some peach coloured paint. Another curved building to the left and a traffic light.

Some Banksy graffiti on a wall - a man dangling from a window ledge. Additional pink and blue paint splashed over the top.

Disco balls hang in a tree above a van in a city street.

‘Nice’ painted on a city wall.

Brizzle in the mizzle today, catching up with an old friend 🥰

Sooooo good 😊

No, but it’s a funny little county with a particular folksy vibe, so when I saw this I thought ‘hah! That figures!’ 😆🙃😌

I grew up in Shropshire! 👀

Thanks! It’s a cracker - always have to listen to it twice!

As it’s international women’s day am also going with this - which is always the first track I think of when violins are mentioned. Have posted it before so went with Seth but should have stuck with my guns (and not Seth’s 🙃). Love a bit of Beth 💕

Ah yeah just wondered if you’d read any of her other stuff (I think I’ve got Postcards but have never read it 🙃).

I’ve only read The Shipping News but it’s one of my favourite books of all time - any others you’d recommend?

Done! 😌

#internationalwomensday #booksky 💞💖💕

I’ll kick myself in a minute when I remember who I’ve missed, but some of my hard-hitters:

Tove Jansson
Margaret Atwood
Deborah Levy
bell hooks
George Elliot
Ann Patchett
Françoise Sagan
Natalia Ginzberg
Elena Ferrante
Tove Ditlevsen
Virginia Woolf
Rose Tremaine
Jane Austen
Judy Bloom (😜🥰)

Ooo that’s a lovely list! 💞

Be a toddler again!

Have had to have another listen - just magic ✨

Immense. 🙏

Nina Simone: Four Women (Live in Antibes, 1969) YouTube video by Nina Simone

If you do anything today, take a few moments and see if you can hear the women's inner screams, then take another moment to imagine a world without women in it. #InternationalWomensDay

Awesome! Love it there ☺️

I read ‘wire, silver, lead’ first, then totally misread your post as ‘soldering on’ 🙃

Totally indulging in some long-week, Friday night trash here…

FBI agent-level acknowledgement: babysitting ain’t for wimps

Transvision Vamp - Baby I Don't Care (1989) YouTube video by MrHaggis64

One of my school friends taped this off her big sister, and we thought we were very cool to be ahead of the power curve (‘power’ doing some heavy lifting there 🤫) 🙃 Same friend just booked us tickets for October so we can be 13 again - Wendy James, oh my life… 💕

’not bad thanks bab - how about yours?’

😆

Plausible, very plausible… 🙃 Mine’s ’Not bad thanks bab - how about yours?’

Yup 🫤

Noooooo…

‘Tail like a North Sea wind farm’ 👌❤️
