dr calculus<\/strong> being the main phrases, thus indicating that i am a destination for anyone interested in leftfield pop that was released by the ubiquitous virgin records in the mid-late 80s !).<\/p>\nafter yesterdays excess, i have little to report today, other than while walking my youngest home from school in the glorious sunshine, i saw a bee.<\/p>\n
a big fat buzzy buzzy bee doing its thing around a fragrant plant\/bush ensemble.<\/p>\n
a moment of joy given that bees are supposedly a rarity in this new world, and a sign that at last, spring is in the air. <\/p>\n

if this discovery of a music from a bygone era is a warning sign my own midlife crisis is on its way, then hey so be it, google bots, do your worst.<\/p>\n
onwards<\/p>\n
