Martha and the Muffins – Echo beach

Its not that this song reminds me of a place, person, time or even a feeling, its just that its the words that take me to a state of mind, I feel just like she does (don’t we all some times?). The image that she paints of trying to get through a bad day by thinking yourself into a beautiful place, well I’m a dreamer and a romantic and spend far too much of my time doing that, I will sometime surprise myself by finding that I’m at my desk and not on top of a mountain somewhere, don’t you just love to daydream.

This is the last of the songs for a bit, but I’ve enjoyed writing about them and may well do some more if the fit takes me, hope you have enjoyed them.

Photo for today is the last of the patio shots as well.

Echo Beach is a great track. But it now appears that the Muffins are making a bold return to Danseparc; their 4th album, originally released in 1983. Danseparc is getting reissued in August as a 25th Anniversary Edition, digitally remastered with 3 bonus tracks. Check it out on my blog.

HI BRETT

Hope you're OK and have enjoyed a really really good week on your patio!

Look forward to seeing even more pix - these have been spectacular and I'm sure any new ones will be equally so!

You've picked some pretty classic tracks all week, none more so than this one - which we youngsters of a certain age instantly recognise and love!

See you soon + lots of love from us both to you both!

Those colours are amazing! What kind of zoom lens do you use by the way, how far can you zoom in?

Great track. An ex of mine wanted this song played at his funeral. Which I always found a bit odd.

But a great track and a great photo to go with it.

BTW, I've linked you in over at mine, hope that's ok with you?

I wrote this as part of the second days post: “365 different photos, I’m daunted and intrigued at the same time. Daunted with the task of taking the images and writing words to tie it all together and intrigued at what will be here in a year’s time. Will anybody see this? Will it make any sense?” 70,849 words, 367 photos, 3014 comments, and 43358 visitors from 164 countries later and it’s all done, I’m 42 and have the answer to those questions. Yes somebody has seen it and no it really does not make much sense, but that really does not seem to matter that much. I wanted to mark the passing of a year in my life and have ended up with a fantastic record of a year in both words and pictures. More than that it has changed my life, I have gained a confidence I never had, I can write without fear, my photography skill has improve and I realise that you can do nearly anything if you work at it. One of my dreams was that it would become a “blog of note”, I still smile at the feeling’s that hit...

You known how it is, you’ve loads to do and not much time, but with a little luck and a bit of careful planning and you can fit it all in and than someone makes you BLOG OF NOTE!!!!!! WOW, Arghhhhhhhhhh!. From around 25 readers to 3451 by the end of the day, and what a post to have on the blog, I nearly did not write it, it was very personal and maybe too private to share, but I known that there are others, like me, out there and thought that if it just helped one person it made the risk worth while, well its shared now. Now this is pressure, writing knowing that lots of people will read this, do I make a grand statement, do I get stage fright and dry up, no I’ll just babble on as I always do, it’s worked so far. First, Blog of note people, thank you, this really means a lot to me, I’ve read most of the blogs of notes since I started blogging and feel stunned to be in their company. Next, if you’re reading this blog for the first time, welcome, make your self at home, there’s ...

Have you ever put something off, that you really should have done, I have, getting assessed for dyslexia. Nearly my whole life I have had problems spelling, and have done every thing to avoid getting tested, why, because I was scared that I would not have it and be told I was just thick or lazy. Well yesterday I got tested, and the results surprised me. First I was informed that my reading ability was good to high, next I was informed that I have an IQ of over 120 (140 and over Genius or near genius 120-140 Very superior intelligence 110-120 Superior intelligence 90-110 Normal or average intelligence 80-90 Dullness 70-80 Borderline deficiency Below 70 Definite feeble-mindedness 70-80 Borderline deficiency 50-69 Moron 20-49 Imbecile below 20 Idiot.) They have changed the lower classification for a more PC wording but this is the original. Lastly I was informed that I am Dyslexic and my writing and spelling were well below what my intelligence suggested (that why it takes me forever...
