Having a lot of fun remixing a tune for @CCirco

It’s getting there… hopefully the soul of the original is intact but I have gone wild with it 😆

I added 2 extra parts to it. *Must resist temptation to make it even longer!*

It’s been a pleasure; and working with such a great song to begin with […]

Would getting a robot vacuum cleaner be enough motivation and reason to keep my home clear of clutter?

No.

I want to live in the now, not the future

My response to Rick Astley is as follows, if there are rules, as you claim, why aren’t they commonly published and accessible?

This would make life a lot easier…

I am livid I have bought new carpets!

It’s like having friends round except they are not your friends, they are strangers, and they expect you to move all your stuff around, despite you not liking things being moved or having visitors full stop.

Lost over 240 songs from playlists during the big switcheroo, mostly Chinese language songs, over 7500 went over fine, and thankfully my “100” playlist, still has 100 songs in it! […]

I used to live in Sheffield, before I became an industrial archaeologist. Never visited Kelham Island Museum then, but went there for the first time yesterday. Well worth a visit!
