Rainbow is still not tall, dark or handsome, unfortunately

Hope it goes well, Mark. Maybe see you at MCM again soon.

I've Been A Bad, Bad Boy - Paul Jones

You know. You definitely know.

Us Brits aren't immune to that feeling either.

Blimey. That's an ex-gate. Hope no sheep were hurt!

The Creator? He's a very touchy-feely type. Confident, in shape. Knows women find him irresistible and some think he's good looking. Plays on it.

Oxygène IV - JMJ

Fly on the wall of his kitchen studio for that whole album.

I was modded for suggesting that option in the comments. He sounds a right boring old fart to me.

She wants to be a digital nomad. He doesn't. My betting is she's one of these dreadful airheaded "influencers" or "content creators". An utter non-job, in other words. (Believe me, I know a non-job when I see one. I've held a few in my time.)

I'd like to hope that the tweenybum contrarian youth claiming a household income of over 100k are quoting their parents' income and not theirs. Even a graduate would struggle to find a job paying that never mind someone with no degree.

My current two are pretty sympathetic. To each other and others.

The biggest act of kindness is the Creator deciding to help the Seeker after being introduced at the gallery.

Having a bit of a moment.

Haven't heard Love and Understanding yet, but I think I need to make it a priority to do so. My dad introduced me to Mike Westbrook ages ago and suggested I might enjoy his arrangement style.

Top drawer stuff.

‘We got hate mail after the Proms!’ The towering visions of UK jazz legend Mike Westbrook Having worked alongside everyone from Laurence Olivier to a French circus, the 89-year-old is still composing, learning church bells, and using AI to resurrect a lost epic

He's entitled to his opinion. It differs from mine, and unlike him I am currently under the care of an NHS team of all levels of staff. They're all magnificent, all overworked and underpaid.

Enabling the enablers. The rich expect other people to look after their sprogs until they reach a useful age where they can be married off or join Daddy's City company. It's a shame that Gen Z can't see this.

Abolish it on primary residences.

Double it on private landlords with multiple houses for rent. And make it illegal for them to put the rent up to cover it. Might persuade a few of the greedy bunch to sell up and find a proper job.

Apart from all of Weird Al's food songs, you mean?

Je Me Souviens - JMJ and Laurie Anderson

There's mention of a fish in the lyrics.

It's usually exhaustion for the Seeker. Otherwise he can't sleep much at all.
The Writer likes to read herself to sleep.

Bear, hope it goes as well as busy work times ever do. We'll be here. I don't even have enough time to read everything I want to at the moment, for work or otherwise.

I have similar, especially as sometimes the bits don't connect at first.

The Creator learned early not to upset his mother for fear it would set off one of her "episodes". He was a quiet, serious child, whose biggest fear was being abandoned. He tried to remain well behaved so as not to draw attention to himself.

Having an idea to chew on. Being at peace.

No wars. Plenty fractured families. The three are as good as family to each other now, with the rest of the Creator's team as relatives.
