Low Pressure is Pants!

Bonjour!

It's pants isn't it? Just when you think the weather is behaving itself and you can finally get your summer clothes (and feet) out - a big wedge of low pressure decides to pay a visit! On the weather news this morning they did say that one minute the sun may be out and the next you could get caught in a short sharp shower and be completely drenched. Well it appears this description was pretty accurate and as I can't stand getting my feet or hair wet it's boots back on and hood up today - fantastic!

Anyway...I'm boycotting stupid weather patterns by playing some of my feel good music and this is one of my feel good tunes ...

Duke Dumont feat. A*M*E - Need U (100%)

I've loved this track from when I first heard it! It's in the car, it's in the kitchen, it's in my head! Just makes you want to dance - I feel that the last phrase 'want to dance' should have been written 'wanna boogie on down'  but anyway ...!  My daughter was totally unimpressed with my throwing of shapes around the kitchen the other day and asked if I could 'please stop that!' for gawd's sake - can't even dance around my own kitchen! One of these days I'll throw my shapes around in the food isles of Sainsbury's (like the geezer in the video) - preferably when my daughter isn't shopping with me - she'd be scarred for life - bless her!

Where do you throw your shapes around? What's your 'pants weather' feel good track?

Feeling Good With Barry White and Beethoven...!

Bonjour!

It's been a bit of a mixed up week in these parts! You know that period when Christmas is over, New Year's Eve comes and then goes, the kids are still off school and the tree still up but holiday adverts are all over the box. Then there is the joy of having to go into work leaving the rest of family at home (ok so the hubby was working from home but still!) and it nearly kills you to get out of bed at what seems like the crack of dawn after sleeping in for over a week! And of course you keep doing that thing (well I do anyway) of 'this time last week I was at the cinema/eating a lovely meal/drinking alcohol/sitting around watching Christmas TV/enjoying myself etc etc! It's all a bit of a 'come down' don't you think?

See what I mean about lovely meals (she sighs) - mum cooked meatball curry and coconut rice for New Year's Day dinner - here it is served with dhal and garnished with fried onions and curry leaves - there was also a mountain of poppadoms lurking out of shot!

So I was trying to think of a feel good track to play today and here's where Barry steps in - I was reminded of this tune (from way back when in 1974) whilst we were watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer last week (Willow was trying to seduce Oz!), it's a real 'feel good' tune and always brings a smile to my face! We need 'feel good' at this time of year don't you think?

Barry White - Can't Get Enough Of Your Love Babe...

Big Chinese tonight with the family, the last of the big suppers for a while as both brothers are off home this weekend - in fact as I finish typing this post my brother Mike is practising Beethoven Moonlight Sonata from one of my old books - see below ...!

What are you up to this weekend? What's your post Christmas 'feel good' track?
