Way out, man

Is it possible to listen to Day Tripper without playing a bit of air guitar in the middle? I don't think so.

I've had a jolly morning making cake and butternut squash soup while jigging around to the Beatles. 

I wish I'd been a Wild Child. 

I missed out on such a lot being so shy. I never went out or did any of the things all the other girls of my age were doing. It's easy to blame my Mum for being too over-protective of me. She warned me about all the dangers out there to such an extent that I was terrified. 

I did have friends in school. Did they invite me to join them to go out and I refused, or didn't they invite me? The latter is more likely to be honest. Or maybe they invited me a few times and I said no. I don't remember.

I've never tried drugs or cigarettes, and I don't drink. Listening to Strawberry Fields made me wonder what it was like. Not powerful hallucinogenic drugs - I have much too much fear of being out of control for anything like that - but gently relaxing drugs. If there is such a thing. Just lying back and being completely chilled.

My emailer is doing a digital detox for the rest of the month. Was it something I said?

Sounds like your emailer received more heat than he could handle.

I'm pleased your emailer has chosen to be silent. Long may it last.

Good that he got pushback.

If it's possible to listen without playing the air guitar you can't prove it by me. Try as I might I had to play

I usually dance around instead of playing an air guitar :-)

Anything that I have tried, I don’t care for that much.

Liz Hinds said...

I think so.

Liz Hinds said...

Good!

I was dancing to everything else. It was just this particular bit.

I'm sure I wouldn't either, AC.
