Right Then.
List of things to do this weekend:
* see how the very very cheap wireless headphones work now I’ve got the right sort of batteries.
* finish embroidering the handkerchief and send it off
* wash some quilts
* check weather forecast BEFORE washing quilts
* work on the lullaby a bit more, paying particular attention to the outro
* do some research on washing instruction diagrams. Think they might be adaptable.
This of course is in addition to the usual joys of family life. I start my day sat up in bed with tea, toast and laptop… thinking, writing, scribbling in sketch book… obsessionally listening to the same song over and over. I have to do this with headphones, as the rest of the world would be driven mad by it and would think I was insane.
I can become totally involved in a song. It grabs me in some way and I have to keep on listening to it. Then suddenly I stop. I have no idea what causes the start or the stop. In between the ones that catch me, I’m a perfectly normal music fan.
Want to know what the latest ones are?
Over the last year I’ve listened to the following songs probably HUNDREDS of times. Am I the only one that does this sort of thing?
Elbow: Great Expectations
Doves: Sea Song
Ian Brown: F.E.A.R.
Agnes Obel: Avenue
Dan Whitehouse: Needles, Pins and all Sharp Things
Elliot Smith: Waltz no2
Lisa Hannigan: Slishy Splashy
and currently, with particular attention to the outro….
Kathryn Williams: Little Black Numbers
If anyone can think of a link/common denominator (other than a bent towards Manchester I’ve just noticed) let me know – it could help with my treatment!
