That was written about 1970.
Well, I left home just a week before
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said, "Dear boy, I'm gonna make you a man"

Morning folks Its a prevention and cure day for me- Firstly I bought a calk gun and sealant to fill in any gaps in the wooden walls of my cabin [holiday style home]. In the attic are about a zillian hairy arsed spiders who wanna be my friend ....Theres also a wasp nest which seemed to deter and evict the smaller spiders but left the ones Froda Baggins would have a hard time with! Tuther thing today is to cure my squealing brakes, i did find them useful to warn peds of my approach but coming down a hill yesterday it was a howling cacophony of yowling banshee's.... Think they need cleaning with a degreaser as probably got some wd40 on them.

I got a bottle of isowhatsitsname alcohol off eBay. Cheap as chips. Occasionally give the discs a wipe with it. Presume it would be fine on the braking surface of wheel rims for rim brakes too?WD40 on a braking surface, not a good idea

+1 for the isowhatsitsname, got a litre bottle off Ebay for under a tenner, it'll probably outlast me as long as it doesn't evaporate.

My fave bit of tech is an old I pod, 160gb, stores literally thousands of albums. It's great for in the car, loads of music always on hand. The only issue I've got is sometimes, there's too much to choose from. I think I might cry if it ever packed in.

Still something to be said for dedicated music players I think rather than having a smartphone trying to do everything. I've got an iPod touch in a drawer somewhere. Don't seem to listen to music much any more.

As Mary Hopkin said " those were the days"
I have an old iPhone 6s, it still has the 3.5mm headphone socket. Strip every possible App off it, put it in "Airplane" mode and use it to listen to podcasts and music. Other phone / ecosystems are available

I've got a USB Flash drive plugged into the car and set on random play, its got several thousand tracks on it.
An excellent day yesterday, Train journey to Wool, lunch and a couple of pints at the Black Bear with friends and daughter and grandson visiting from Leeds, the capital of Yorkshire. They headed to the beach later in the afternoon and returned early evening. We settled down to watch " Yesterday ", Mrs Tenkaykev and I watched it a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. 11 year old grandson thought it was very good, he's not familiar with the music of the Beatles but really enjoyed it.
They're off to Corfe Castle today, a journey on a steam train to Swanage for a wander around and Fish + Chips on the Prom.
I'll wander up to the Library and along the Trailway, possibly have lunch out depending how the mood takes me.
Have a peaceful day folks

She took me to a club down in old Soho,
Where they drink Champagne, but it tastes just like cherry cola,

Bringing together Dansettes and old Beatles songs... My older sister was a young teenager when the Beatles burst onto the global music stage. She had a paper round and used her wages to buy a Dansette and then every Beatles (and Rolling Stones) record as soon as they were released. I used to listen to all of her records well before I could have bought any myself.
My friend told me that she had bought a small digital camera from a charity shop for only £3 to take on holiday. I thought it would be horribly nasty and take awful pictures but they turned out really well. I was impressed. I looked at the camera - it was a nice compact Panasonic Lumix. Its original price had probably been round about £200!
