Did A level German (about a hundred years ago) at the same time as Schubert song cycles set work for A level music. Die Schรถne Mรผllerin resonated so hard with my angst-ridden teenage soul! Devastating is a great word for it: wish Iโ€™d heard the performance!

I find that denial is a good approach to lots of things!

Ha! You might feel differently about the wine in the morning!
Glad you have supportive friends. And some men are definitely worth deleting!

Iโ€™m sorry you had an awful day. How are you going to help yourself recover from it?

Could not agree more.
Condolences on your loss.

My favorite part of reading is when a book gets so good you have to set it down, (finger marking the page), and just let your mind be blown for a minute before picking it back up again.

I donโ€™t know who needs to hear this but posting โ€œnew year, new meโ€ on social media isnโ€™t gonna fix you. Thatโ€™s what pretty new notebooks are for obviously

Loved The Expanse. Currently rewatching Fringe for the third time : realised my son had never seen it, which was a great excuse! Some of the best acting by John Noble as Walter Bishop

That is really interesting- love this kind of stuff!
We were in Sheffield so the M1 was nearest I guess? It scans better too!

This is awesome! I know the same version as you (from 80s primary school) , but Father Christmas lost his knickers specifically on the M1 Motorway!

Fair enough-hard to remember that in wet and dark UK winter. Enjoy the food!

Me too- I can see what might make a good photo but donโ€™t know how to set it up.

I like your pic- the light is beautiful.
I took this one in Tenerife in the summer. Two teenagers were chatting by the water for ages as the sun set.

Also love Poulenc, for the same reasons as you. Iโ€™d go for the organ concerto but I also love his choral works and miniatures like the piano nocturnes

I thought it was just me! Have long maintained there is something disturbing about the ๐Ÿค” one. Donโ€™t know if it comes from school when mean kids would do the chin scratch thing if they didnโ€™t believe you?

I want a white wine one

Iโ€™ll do it for you then- hereโ€™s one of your fine T-shirts, Iโ€™m very fond of it!

UK set to limit refugees to temporary stays Shabana Mahmood is expected to say the era of permanent protection for refugees is over, in major changes to the UK's asylum and immigration system.

I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge.

Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots.
