these are still going well, picking a good amount every 3 or 4 days . We have had 4 frosts but they seem not to be affected too much so far.

We make them into a compote with a bit of honey and it is great on porridge or granola.

I forgot to take photos at Unloveable last night, so this is as good a self portrait as I can mozter (sorry, had to). N.B. I was wearing slightly more clothes, my bowl wouldn't quiff, but the eyeliner lettering was there...I don't think, however, that I inspired any tattoos in my likeness, though surely that day looms.

Ready, Steady, Go

I'm not in love with television

I'm not in love with the radio

I'm not in love with the Kings Road

Because I'm in love with Cathy McGowan she said

Ready steady go - well all things she said like

Ready steady go - wasn't it fabulous

Ready (ready) steady (steady) go

I'm not in love with Juke Box Jury

I'm not in love with thank you Lucky stars

I'm not in love with T'T'T'Twiggy

Because I'm in love with Cathy McGowan she said

Ready steady go - well all things she said like

Ready steady go - wasn't it fabulous

Ready (ready) steady (steady) go

Well I was in love with the Beatles

I was in love with the Stones, no satisfaction

I was in love with Bobby Dylan

Because I'm in love with Rock 'n' Roll

Ready steady go - well all things she said like

Ready steady go - wasn't it fabulous

Ready (ready) steady (steady) go

Ready steady go!

Go! Go! Go!

Ready steady go!

Ready steady Who

Ready steady Stone

Go! Go! Go! Go!

Out to a 90s Concert Glasgow by Paula Foxx

15 2

19.12.2019 This was a rare Thursday night out after work to go see a "We Love the 90s" Concert in Glasgow. Last minute change of mind of outfit as I thought what was the most 90s looking look I had, then I thought about a Whigfield look I liked when she appeared on TOTP. Anyway, time I walked to the Hydro, was half and hour late but Whigfield's set was just starting. Many acts were there like 2 Unlimited, Snap, Vengaboys etc. It was really good. My goal 2019 was to get to as many concerts I could go to dressed and ones I actually liked. Done loads one I had more freedom to do what I want. My god! Tons! And it was conveniently the biggest concert and venue I ever been dressed to end the year, so all good.

MOST UNFORGETABLE TOTP PERFORMACE

Top Of The Pops (United Kingdom)

BBC1 + BBC2

1982 (40th Anniversary in 2022)

I have been following the career of Alison Moyet since Yazoo so i'm very proud to share this installment in the project. To me this song (highlighting the beginning of her career) showcases Moyet's obvious early talent. As you can see from the initial few seconds of the video, Moyet is nervous and has said, in subsequent interviews, she didn't know what to do with her hands. For me this slice of time is one of those great memories from the past, and her later album Raindancing was the ultimate soundtrack to my teenage years living in Wiltshire, England. That album remains with me to this day and played regularly in my car. In my opinion Alison Moyet is one of the greatest singers to come out of England.

BBC music TV commissioner Jan Younghusband has this to say about what Top of the Pops left us:

“Everyone is nostalgic for Top of the Pops, because for so many of us growing up, it was the only way you could hear and see the acts and music you loved. And the reason that the reruns of Top of the Pops are so successful now is because the archive is extraordinary. It’s like a complete history of popular music.” In 2020 viewing figures of TOTP are said to be robust, hovering at the 375-500,000 mark, in addition to 3.6m streams on iPlayer in 2020 alone.
