Fairly proud to have kept #Duolingo up to a 600 day streak!

Can’t say my #Welsh has improved that much - but I’m enjoying the challenge!

Haha this just popped up on my FB memories from 9 years ago

Me:: 'someone in work (remaining nameless) said I've put on a lot of weight'

My then bf (now husband): 'Not sure what to do here: do you want the truth or reassurance?'

Nothing like an honest response …

I don’t know anything by this artist. Where would you suggest I’d start if I wanted to see what they’re like?

#NowPlaying #PaulYoung & his 1983 debut solo studio album #NoParlez

UK No 1, this is the original CD pressing which featured an extra track (BehindYourSmile) plus extended versions of songs - inc a near 8 min ‘scratch’ mix of #ComeBackandStay & club mix of #LoveoftheCommonPeople

It’s a rainy Sunday afternoon and I’m back at my house for an hour until we move (yet again!) due to building works … so enjoying the calm before the storm by playing #RichardHawley & his 2005 glorious LP #ColesCorner

An A+ album from start to finish - #TheOcean sounds amazing on #vinyl

Happy #BelindaCarlisle #NewAlbum day

Really enjoying listening to her latest album #OnceUponATimeinCalifornia

The sunset #vinyl looks great … and loving the choice of covers, particularly her versions of #TimeInABottle #Superstar #One & #EverybodysTalkin’ (the standout track?)

#NowPlaying #KimCarnes & her 6th album, 1981’s #MistakenIdentity

Featuring the massive single #BetteDavisEyes (which seems to be having a resurgence atm - US No 1 for 9 weeks, UK No 10) the album reached UK No 26, but was a US No 1 for 4 weeks … it’s a good album, love the album track #HitandRun

#NowPlaying #Springteen & his now 50 year old album #BornToRun

An iconic album, his launch to stardom & commercial success, it’s timeless - but only reached UK No 36 on its release in 75 (reaching a peak of UK No 17 in 1985), still going platinum (tho selling 7m in the US alone)

#NowPlaying #TheCranberries & their 4th studio album, 1999s #BuryTheHatchet

Perhaps a commercial disappointment (UK No 7/US No 13 - & the cover art was derided at the time) I loved its lead single #Promises (UK No 13) and still have the cd single I bought when it was released

Whilst I respect your opinion, I must respectfully disagree with your conclusion … there’s always a need for Kylie
