5x5 Friday, no idea what the blank is. Some year in review, and again MPF additions (a common theme)

Marrowbone Lane appearing in my top 5 twice is correct

More bands need to do winter wear, I've left my only scarf at a friend's, so this is the merch I need to buy.

My slightly belated 5x5 Friday, a lot of it influenced by MPF, both existing and new announcements (and we did manage to budget so have bought our tickets)
Sitting top is the new Brutalligators album, which I thoroughly recommend - a joy from last MPF, where I bought a lovely hat of theirs

Bumped into a school friend with his dad this evening, felt slightly awkward with a quick chat to try and catch up at least 15 years (24 years since we were at school the contact fizzling out). Was nice that he came to say bye and a brief hug as he left.

Pretty pleased with the latest MPF line-up, we booked accommodation a while ago, really need to sort actual tickets but with our son's birthday, my sister's wedding and now Christmas it may be an expense for next year. I hate delaying as know presales matter

What on earth is going on with the women's sizes on Vinted? I don't want a range of 2 sizes, don't show me things that won't fit. And all my previous searches now showing sizes way too big and not what I originally looked on. Because buying clothes was too easy for women before?

Went to see the Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe at the theatre this evening, I'd done some research to see if it was suitable for my nearly 5 year old (it wasn't) so had an idea what to expect, my mother did not enjoy it, it was far from the Narnia of my childhood but had some very talented actors

Chewie playing Marrowbone Lane in full was perfect, well worth this Dublin trip.
Added bonus to discover they're doing it all over again at MPF

Any recommendations for a short stay in Dublin? (Other than Guinness)

I think Bluesky also deserves puppy content, my parents new puppy Elwood, he's adorable. A puppy is exhausting, wonderful to spend time with but I'm happy to now be home with my older boys.

While I do need a more substantial Friday routine I'm quite enjoying the soup and seitan I've been making the last couple of Friday mornings while I work out what that routine will be

As I've never been to Dublin we've booked onto the Guinness storehouse, and I'm told worth it for the view even if I don't really drink the black stuff

I may work for an environmental charity but it is mostly remote desk work so it is great when I'm given a reason to get out to one of the reserves with actual people

It seems something I've listened to this week has upset any 5*5 makers, and with going off Spotify I can't use my back up of stats.fm anymore

Normally the phrase 'icebreaker' instills fear through my being, but the one we've been given for team away day next week is all about music
