Now, THAT, I did enjoy. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for that.

I watched it, cringing, but couldn't summarize my response any better than thinking 'what a load of bollocks'.

We’re due our first frost any day now, so time to pull up the last of the sweet potatoes.
Also, those pepperoncini keep on poppin’.

Popped into the garden to pick a few figs at just the right moment.

Yyyyyyum!

AizuYabanjin @aizuyabanjin.bsky.social · 2d

Yes, on all counts.

The photo (well spotted!) is from 1923, when she was still a Hardin. The track is a corker. (....wonders if there's been a 'days of the week' challenge yet...🤔)

Ever the maverick. Most people like to have a sparkle in their eye. You go for one in the ear. Or possibly in one ear and out the other.

Oh right. Yes, I see what you mean. You certainly wouldn’t confuse me with anyone bursting with enthusiasm.

All that I’ve investigated have had their moments, but this is a particularly good. I think I’ve posted at least one track from it in challenges.

What a formidable group of ladies!

Thanks for the link. I’ll have a look later.

I’m not sure how well that might sit with Alistair, but you’re probably right about me. However, I couldn’t find a Pvt Godfrey gif.

I have a few ideas that I’m sure you have also thought of, but I’ll probably hold back, out of respect for my commanding officer.

Ooh! I have that record! It’s fab.

The label, Rosetta, puts (put?) out amazing compilations. Funnily enough, I often think of you when I see them. They’re all about strong, independent women making a mark, often against all the odds.

Ooh I see you’re going to be a very lenient and forgiving referee.

Which, given your history, is only fair!! 😉

🙋🏼‍♂️ Miss, I have a question.

Is it enough for a musical genre to simply be mentioned in the lyrics or does it have to be the entire theme of the song?

Oh, and also, regarding mentioning musicians, it presumably doesn’t count if the band are simply introducing themselves.

Thanks. Green on Red…(or, rather, vice versa!)

From the glimpses we occasionally see, it’s clear you have a very cool, creative and artistic house. Beautiful!

It’s not just all about the gifs with you, eh?!

After a morning spent slicing and deseeding a vast pile of jalapeños, my fingers are burning, my nose running and my eyes stinging.
Now…what’s for lunch? Oh, fried peppers….

AizuYabanjin @aizuyabanjin.bsky.social · 5d

Thanks for the ideas.

I’ve divided them up into batches, to be:

halved & roasted
sliced & pickled
fermented & blended

Now I’ll add dehydrated.

Did you end up getting enough? I have at least as many as this still on the plants, if you’re interested…

Another 2.5kg of jalapeños to deal with…..

Oh! You already know that one?

I’ll have to think of something else now.

I love this whole album.

Oooh some of that tasty seafood Ishikawa is so famous for.

Nice to see that a thumbs up from me was the clincher!

A-ha! You’re going for it! Great!

I’ll join in. I actually started noting down a few in anticipation a little while ago in an attempt to address my usual problem of going completely blank until there are only 3 days left when I suddenly think of dozens.

Mind you, I only have 4 on the list so far!
