Fab Five Freddy told me everybody's fly, but I have my doubts
Cheers Tesco, but I don't want to regress to my childhood self at Christmas, for a variety of traumatic reasons that I'm not going to go into now

Finished! (Finnished?)

I now have a groovy little skirt and a natty little hat to match. Will try and take pics when my new garments have been through the wash
I bought a vintage tunic top thing in 2000 from a shop on Staten Island. The tunic was made in Finland. It now lives with me here in Manc. It's one helluva well-travelled garment.

Even more spectacular: it's taken 25 years but I've finally gotten round to making it into something that fits (I hope)

There's an episode of Ab Fab that plays deep cut Blondie songs throughout 😭

What other secrets is the world keeping from me??

I know I'm very late to the party, but how amazing is Marianne Faithfull in Ab Fab?

I just doublechecked and they didn't show The Move! Ooooh!
#TOTP "I hope they show The Move," I think to myself, knowing full well that it's not far away because I've seen this so many times

I want to watch Jeff Buckley, but I also don't want to be crying tonight #dilemma

My first two sewing machines used traditional bulbs for the light and they always burned out really quickly.

My new machine has LED lights which are lovely and bright and white, but they're a bit TOO bright, so when I turn it off, everything else seems a bit dim

#TOTP Oh Peter, you really don't want to go poking about inside my head

#TOTP Thanks to AbFab, I know how she doesn't get her lips wet when she sips her Napoleon brandy

#TOTP All the AbFab I've watched lately has prepared me for this moment

Banging hits from the past into a Jeff Buckley gig is a weird turn of events but it's the way I roll so I'm not complaining

#TOTP I know we've seen this compilation a bazillion times, but I still love it. I blame the DC5 whipping me up into a frenzy every time.

Also, adorable baby Bee Gees

#TOTP Slapped my legs a bit too hard drumming along to the Dave Clark Five

#TOTP Sometimes I think about how cool I'd look if I learned the Rhythm Nation dance, but this has gone on for so long that it's probably quite tragic to watch a 50-something doing it
