Divine Comedy, Sound Systems And Bemused Lodgers

I have a 'lodger' and today she sat watching me perplexed-or bemused- or something of that nature. Her head cocking from side to side as though trying to figure out exactly what I was up to.

I rarely play music because every time I do I am reminded that I am in need of a half decent sound system. Sometimes though, I find a c d and can't resist putting it on. Tinny noise be damned, my lack of a decent sound system be damned! Sometimes you just have to belt out the music, bring back the memories.

Molly was - shocked when I put Divine Comedy on, well who could resist those smart, poetical, funny lyrics. Think of songs such as 'National Express' and 'The Frog Princess' Who could resist being transported back to an earlier time albeit for a little while?

Yes, Molly was shocked and then a little taken aback when I started to dance around the living room and sing along. She was initially a little subdued but soon got into the spirit of things when I swung my hoodie around my head and flung it high. She whined yelped and barked. (I like to think she kept in time and in tune). I doubt if the neighbors were very impressed by our antics and we'll never be asked to audition for the X factor...Seriously though, how was my day? Quiet.
