day 08 - a song that you know all the words to

Ha ha ha ha ha ha... But it's true though! Its the song that jumped to mind at least.

day 07 - a song that reminds you of a certain event

This song basically reminds me of starting Plymouth Uni because it's the only thing that cheered me up when played loud after a crappy 18th century lit. lecture or reading Oroonoko or something. That's kind of an event, right?

day 05 - a song that reminds you of someone

The Prodigy reminds me of my Dad constantly and Pink's "So what?" which weirdly makes me sad when I hear it because he sang it on the last day of our last trip to see him. I am a rubbish blubber face. Anywho, we used to blare this out on our drives in his TVR with the top down (he doesn't have a convertible anymore :().

Weekend

I am so thrilled to only have 3 shifts of 8 - 6 this week (except weds 8am - 8pm). I have Thursday off and a staff meal in the evening (which I may / may not go to) and then inset day and pudding club on Friday. Our inset is from 9am - 4pm and I have no idea what it entails yet!

Glad of a short-ish week because I've been feeling really out of sorts this week. Had a couple of naps and fell asleep sitting up in the middle of the week (at home whilst being cuddled!). Dan had to sit still for 45min before he made me go up to bed. This morning Dan took the massive tree stump to the dump with Tom and I physically couldn't get myself out of bed. Just feeling a bit sad, mixed with tiredness. Thankfully 2 cups of tea later and a shower worked their magic. Don't really know whats wrong but I only have 18 days til our time off which should hopefully sort me out!

Tonight I will be relaxing with copious amounts of tea, a lovely bath and a fresh face mask from LUSH.

day 06 - a song that reminds you of somewhere

My mum took us on holiday to Cyprus just before Evie was due to be born. I think it was to take her mind off it. All we took were clothes for warm weather but it was FREEZING and I wore the jeans I had worn on the plane for the whole week, which I never do because YUCK.

Anyway, the only album I listened to on repeat really was 'The Strokes - Is this it?' and something else I can't remember. This is a track from that album because it reminds me of Cyprus.



Incedentally, Evie was born 2 days before we went home and we went straight to Dads to see her.

I don't know what it is with my parents and going on holiday during crappy times. My dad always goes away when it's meant to be my parents wedding anniversary and they've been divorced 11 years!!

day 04 - a song that makes you sad

Please follow this link (http://www.fmvc.org/cdsound.html) and click on 'music'. The song sung at my Grandad's funeral in November.

The jazzy version is below.



Makes my heart heavy. Also any Sinatra does the same. New york, new york came on the radio and I welled up, not in a sobbing way but still emotional over it.

day 03 - a song that makes you happy

This is so cheesy but I have to post it because it makes me happy inside. I know all of the words and more embarrasingly it's one of the songs I sing in the shower. My parents used to have the CD on at all times in the car and at home when I was about 8 years old when they saw Hootie live. Reminds me of simpler times :)
