Sad Cafe   Everyday Hurts 1979
Sad Cafe Everyday Hurts 1979 YouTube video by Маша Маня

On my many recent walks I’ve just put my iPod on shuffle and today I was presented with this banger.

A song that is nearly as old as me, but you know, it still sounds so very good. Love it πŸ”₯

Someone sent me a work email once saying I was a***

I was raging as I thought they were calling me an arsehole, but apparently they were actually saying I was a star - ⭐️

Shame I replied calling them a cunt… πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Why is it that when I post a really stupid, tasteless piece of shite on my Instagram story that the famous musician who follows me always watches it?!

Today it was the diarrhoea man from the pepto bismol advert πŸ™„

Don’t worry, I am not going to be posting every day about my boring walking!

But I’ve been out today and the sky was blue and there was a big yellow ball in it (not sure this pic shows it, but hey). Plus I woke up to more donations so now at a brilliant total of Β£425!!

I’m thrilled, thank you ❀️🩸
