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?
