Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Hello all. It's absolutely torrential rain here. The cat, as always , is insisting that we show her the weather at every door because she wants to go out but does not like being wet. She is not impressed that every door has rain.
Went to Darlington this morning for some last minute stuff and to get my nails done. My Primark paper bag disintegrated in the rain. Not good when you've just purchased some new foundation garments ? ? i wouldn't mind if they were sexy little numbers but mine are for the more mature figure!

Anyway the nails ended up being a pedicure as well. never had one of them before but it was nice. So a proper selfcare Friday. I've checked our flights in. Have I told you we are flying to Barcelona via Frankfurt. Don't ask, I had no input into flight booking. I think at the time there weren't many flights out of Newcastle because of COVID so whoever picked the flights booked Lufthansa via Frankfurt. Why we couldn't just go from Leeds or Liverpool or Manchester is beyond me.

We have also discovered that there is an Iron Man competition in Barcelona on Sunday (not the Robert Downey Jr type) For some reason my gay friends are very keen on watching this. So instead of the Gaudi architecture I might be watching some superfit athletes instead.
Enjoy your G and T Fred and welcome home Jazzy.

Here's a pic of the new nails

Brammers has given up, had some tea, licked his bollocks, and is now asleep. His brother, Mert, is curled up on the floor as well. Neither have discovered the log burner yet, (they are usually out all night), once they do, they will be nailed to the carpet in front of it.

If the names seem odd, well they are, we took one girl from farm kitten from Niks Dad a while ago. It turned out to be two, so Nik immediately named them Bramble and Myrtle. Turned out they are boys, hence Brammers and Mert!.

Evolve doesn't always equal better though mate. Not in my opinion anyway. For instance, I thought the early stuff of both U2 and The Police was far superior to their later stuff, even though the later stuff was more successful. And whilst completely different, I equally enjoyed both the early and later stuff from Bowie and Roxy Music.

Whereas the Beatles invented the word "evolve". Isn't that right Tlol

I can’t stand U2 and their example does fit in with take on evolution in music. They chased the dollar and moulded their fake image to suit what they wanted to be seen as rather than than see where their music took them.

Radiohead/Manic Street Preachers/REM are good examples of where their music changed as their life influences changed as they grew older.

U2 are as fake as any manufactured boy band.

You're not a fan than lol

I thought their first 2 albums were very good. Same with The Police. Outlandos D'Amour was probably my favourite debut album of all time.

Ours is called Peaches. The woman who we got her from called her that (the cat was hanging round her house for weeks so she eventually took her in but didn't want to keep her because she already had three cats) We hate the name so she ends up being called Puss most of the time.

My favourite Police album was their last one - Synchronicity. I saw them when they did the Synchronicity tour. Oh boy. Just before they broke up. You could tell they all hated each other.

Nope at all. Middle class boys pretending to be something they really aren’t. Very happy to play being Irish when it brought in money but equally happy to literally burn the flag to court controversy.

The Divine Comedy would be my favourite Irish band, love the Pogues as well if that counts.

Never really got into Sting or the Police for that matter although could do a greatest hits alright ?
