Music From The Other Room
Introduction I have said that if you decide to move your vinyl, CDs, DVDs or VHS Tapes to the loft, you may as well give them to a charity shop because you are never going to go up there to retrieve something, and that can be said of a lot of things that you put in the loft.

Ask Me In December
Introduction This is for Babs Iverson's "Ask Me In December" challenge which you can read about here When we talked about it, I said the flow and sound of the words reminded me of "Gone Till November" by Wyclef Jean which I will use to soundtrack this. It is a wonderful song.

Fairly Liquid

Evolution Is A Lie
Introduction Yes, the title is clickbait, but so many people see that as a truth, too many in fact. The fact is that people who think that way will probably not evolve themselves, but evolution is with us every day in so many forms.

You're Nobody Until You've Been Ignored By A Cat
Introduction I am currently reading the excellent "The Pie At Night" by Stuart Maconie and he mentions that he has a homemade fridge magnet that he bought from a craft fair somewhere in Lakeland that has a wooden cat with googly eyes that states "You're Nobody Until You've Been Ignored By A Cat" and that is something that happens to me very often, so it would imply that I am not Nobody.

El Coto - Great Tapas In Newcastle
Introduction Someone once said that Tapas was just Spanish Leftovers. If they are just leftovers I would love to try the full meal, but that was just a joke and leftovers are usually smaller portions of what they were leftover from.

Flaws And Imperfections
Introduction This was initially inspired by a long-running problem I have with our platform, but I am trying to deal with that but it then got me thinking about how systems should always be flawless and should work, while the flaws and imperfections in our character actually make us what we are.
