Brilliant retrospective! Had to do a double-take of '....a new whistle and flute was ordered for my skin and blister’s upcoming wedding....' but once I'd engaged my Cockney rhyming slang gear I was golden!
SLART, I loved this month's retrospective. Thoughts: when you refer to your website, link to your website! So we can see the changes. I love the homey photos. I wanted one of Harmony swimming with armbands. I hope you love the Steadman movie. More: I hope you understand why I recommended it! (What if you get to the end and think: wtf?) I actually understood the bit about you buying a new suit for your sister's wedding. How do you figure out what words to use? Is there a dictionary? Does one make them up? So many syllables for a short word. Totally fascinating to this language egghead. I do remember Max Headroom. Your photo of that cat is cuter than having the cat. (I say this as a non-cat person, awaiting rotten vegetables to be thrown at me by other of your readers.)
Noooo, I wrote a comment then lost it! Oh well, this reply will be better!
Re website, that is true and shall do that!
Re armbands, I forgot to take a piccy!
Re movie I already get a sense of why you shared it but I’ll save my comments until after the film! I’m having some ME time when Harmony is asleep and Sam is working late on Thursday this week!
I’m delighted that you understood my Cockney rhyming slang, I don’t decide what words go in, it just came to me. My dad used to think he was cockney having been born in London but he grew up in the countryside and later returned to London then back to the countryside once more! 😂
Max Headroom was trippy but a comedian called Bobby Davro did his own very which was funny!
I am more of a dog person but I’m warming to cats!

Thanks for reading! I should have ended with with “skin and blister’s Otis”
🤣
Did you have to Google that one? :-D
Nope! Redding = wedding! Much easier to work out than 'skin and blister', which I have to admit had me guessing for a little while! 🤣
Haha! Glad you got that one. I can see how skin and blister can throw you off.
