Our Syl is a classy broad

A pillow carrier that looks like a compact mirror (and also is one). It's blush and gold coloured.

The item:

Ah that's lovely

I bought it! Thanks all!

Haha imagine! No these either look like a compact mirror or a wee purse. A really nice design, you'd never know. Some other look like glasses cases.

I think so too, especially if they are a little fancy. She likes that.

Thank you!

Is a fancy compact pill carrier a thoughtful or really weird mother's day present? For context she has to carry pills and usually she puts them in a tissue.

Oh my word I'm sorry that's really awful. I think you made the right choice!

That's exactly it.

Thank you. The Kinks songs were some of the first I ever learned on guitar because my Dad was a big fan. Emotional in a good way.

Thank you, I've got the afternoon off work to do my usual beach visit with a hot chocolate and rum (one of his faves) to have a little cry and remember him.

*he passed, jesus what a typo

CW: Grief, Parent.

It's 8 years tomorrow since my Dad died. Just after we passed we all sat around him and played this song. It took a few attempts not to cry whilst singing this so apologies for the ropey vocals.

A sheet of paper showing all the major guitar chords.

Just found this in one of my chord books from when I was a teenager. It was photocopied in my school in 1997 💀

The same cat now lying on a table next to me.

I'm feeling a bit under the weather today so I'm off work and Clarence is being my little buddy.

In the song Rocket Man, did his wife pack his bags pre-flight because she was kicking him out or because even cis male astronauts can't be trusted to pack for themselves?

Awright geezer, you seen that slag of an article in the Washy P?

Gala is famously known for it's Mexican food, they call it Tijuana of The Borders.

And I mean, you both look great

I would totally watch you two solve crimes somewhere on the continent

Yes on both fronts!

Thank you!

Thank you!!

Thank you!

Thank you! I've not spoken about it a whole lot.

Word has finally properly got out (or it's sinking in) that I'm leaving my job and I'm getting some very funny messages all along the lines of 'so pleased for you, also don't leave'.

I do not know! I mainly focus on heart rate recovery after excercise as a measure of my overall fitness.

Thank you! Not my area of expertise that's why I shared the article. I don't have a fancy enough health tracker for that kind of thing.
