My work desk faces the window, which is nice
I can see people, some of whom I would probably know, walking up or down the hill,which is also nice
The trouble is,that with my work glasses on,I’m too short-sighted to be able to tell whether I know them or not

When my eldest was growing up she was always wanting to know what your favourite colour, film, TV character etc was
This was my favourite song open.spotify.com/track/2aE…
U2 and the Undertones perhaps have an equal number of great songs.
The Undertones churned them out in about a tenth of the time, but more significantly they had one of the great pop voices
‘U’ and ‘V’ could’ve been the two Dublin bands, U2 and the Virgin Prunes
I never saw U2, but their chums, the Prunes were one of best live acts I saw around the start of the eighties
To be honest I couldn’t think of many ‘T’s.
I considered ‘The Pogues’ but I think @petercmoore would say I was cheating.
Anyway I remembered ‘Rex’ isn’t a surname so T. Rex it is
‘S’ is difficult, but it comes down to a choice between Nancy and Dusty
I would possibly need a hundred tweets to explain why I went for one rather than the other

Day eleventy-six of lockdown
I got totally wrapped up in a College Basketball game.
From 1997.

RT @MarkMyWordsNews: My children won’t go back to school until the pupils of Eton are back at school. It is as simple as that.
“Politicians are putting their efforts into fighting with the unions for an early return – and one that initially offers just three year groups a poor, socially distanced, in-a-school-but-not-really-school experience for 6 weeks before the end of term.”
“I believe the same thing happened in the Athenian agora to Socrates, who came across as a stuttering haystack unless he was supported by serried ranks of inadequates screaming “no, YOU are!” at his debating opponents.”

Footballer on the telly talking about a team-mate being burgled and threatened with a knife
He was very sensitive and sympathetc…but couldn’t stop himself saying “It’s one of those things”
I was half expecting him to say “we’ll take the positives and move on”
