Max was with The Emotions - I do like a bit of reggae

In my late teens, we spent occasional nights in the city. One of the more in places had reggae nights, as well as soul nights etc. Very popular. And of course there was Top Ranking which was by St George's and Lime street.

The Emotions I enjoy listening to was a early sixties Motown band. Not aware of any reggae tunes?
 
What can you say, it's like a January storm out there. Freezing, very windy and wet!
I sat in that (under cover) watching my lot having a points giveaway.
Mrs L is also cold. And wants today over.
I am in full sympathy mode.
Pork shoulder, side salad.
It It could have been cold shoulder and a side swipe, when I questioned what she had on.
Not warm enough!

My best wishes to you all as always!
 
A very very stressful day for JKP @ianpspurs. She must have been so relieved when it was all sorted.
 
Different band - When I was in my last two years in school, in Forest Hill, I used to go to a place in Catford called The Witchdoctor Club with a load of Jamaican school kids. The place just played reggae and Ska. Here you go —

Good morning everyone on an overcast start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north. 5.3 this am. Two trips into town yesterday so over 7 miles registered. Girl in the bubble stayed over last night and already ‘we’ have read a book and she is now doing a jigsaw with Mrs Miggins, searching for corners and edges - phew! We will later go for a walk before taking her home at mid day. Nothing else on the cards for today. Art bit - mixed media - watercolour paint and ink. Hope you have a pleasant Sunday. I need more koffy.


 
Great mixed media art bit @dunelm
 
Have not been on here for a while. Wheels have fallen off.
Morning blood sugar 10 point something even though I have been steadily increasing the basal insulin.
Over dealing with this on my own, just increasing basal doesn't seem to be working.
Have requested appointment with the diabetes endocrinologist.
Am a bit grumpy, but then again am currently at 17.6, so that could explain it
 
Morning all on Palm Sunday 2024 in Little America and most probably where you are unless you are on Christmas Island or similar. In which case why aren't you asleep? @dunelm thanks for sharing the splendid, reassuringly solid looking art. Busy day yesterday, how is the back faring? @gennepher thanks for sharing the playful creative which suggests a more upbeat mood. @Krystyna23040 enjoy the water gardens. Yesterday wasn't much less stressful for JKP. The boys decided to use the builders' van and RR to ferry things to the local recycling centre and the Thetford one - local one wouldn't accept the van with the logo - and charity shops. Nine hours yesterday and back again today. Facebook came in handy as they advertised a house clearance with images. US service families spotted a chance to grab free furniture and UK electrical goods. Meanwhile, my role was to keep MIL here to avoid a heated three generational difference of opinion about how we might fit even more "essential" ephemera into this house since we are muggles. Hopefully the duck today will be as pleasing to JKP and MIL as they hope. I'll just smile and wave. Peace be with you all.

Thank you Ian
 
9.8 at 03:30. Down to 8.4 before breakfast. Still going down.

As usual I'm pretty tired and sore after my baking and cooking spree plus going to the party. I find that I can't hear most of what adults are saying because I miss the lower tones these days. On the other hand I find the high pitched voices of children, especially when they're having fun, quite painful to my ears. As you say, Ian, smile and wave... and pretend you can understand what others are saying (much better than constantly having to say "sorry, I didn't catch that". Neil gets enough of that from me. He has a problem, which I believe is common in Asperger's, of having very sensitive hearing so he speaks very quietly (mumbles) and hates loud noises or voices. Turns out my brother is the same as me, as was our mother and her mother.

I was delighted to see that everyone enjoyed the food I had taken. Half of the big cake was eaten and what remained was divided up between 2 or 3 people who couldn't get to the party. That gives me my greatest pleasure. Well worth the effort and the pains.
