This Morning

I woke up this morning and decided today would be a good day.

Then I got up and the following happened:

- I lost my nose stud.
- I blew my nose and it then gushed blood for 10 minutes.
- Five minutes after the nose bleed stopped, the violent hiccups started.
- Walking to the bus stop I heard "OY! CHOOKY!, turned my head in surprise and tripped over. Dad was covering a garbo truck run in my street... he laughed at me and pointed out that I haven't changed from when I was a kid and would not watch where I was going and subsequently fall over.
- At the train station I got stuck in the lift with a guy in a wheelchair and two school girls. I could look straight out through the glass doors at the feet of people above me, but fortunately only for a few minutes - long enough to miss the express train.
- On the not-express train a very tall guy standing a little too close to where I was sitting forgot about hanging on, and my knees got in the way of him stepping back to balance himself so he kind of sat on my chest instead.

At around the time I was sitting on the footpath, hiccuping, with my Dad crossing the road laughing at me and his workmates watching on and laughing at me, I decided that my day was going to be good AND farcical, and clearly some minor god was bored and had decided I was going to be his toy this morning, so I may as well just laugh and go with it... some days you just can't fight being some gods amusement.

And in spite of all that, it is actually quite a good day so far :)

The Puppini Sisters

Last week while having coffee with best boy, we realised that we were listening to some... interesting... music in the background... so we enquired.

And so came my introduction to The Puppinni Sisters, three talented lasses who sing in the style of the Andrews Sisters, and cover songs of that style... such as Mr Sandman...

They also do covers of more modern songs, in three part, swung, jazzish, Andrews-sister-esque harmonies... songs such as:

I Will Survive (Gloria Gaynor)

Walk Like An Egyptian (The Bangles)

Wuthering Heights (Kate Bush)

Wrong, and yet strangely fabulous... other noteworthy covers are Heart Of Glass (Blondie), and Crazy In Love (Beyonce) ... the cafe owner had his laptop there, and their two cd's on his laptop, best boy had a memory stick, woot for technology coz I've been singing along to fabulous and wrong songs all week :)
