    No. I have an ear worm with Procol Harum now. 
    Is it a Steely Dan?? 
    My garden and I live in South Wales. 
  • Just catching up again sorry to hear of your damage @Obelixx, those dramatic pics will give you bragging rights for some time. We had a break in the rain yesterday pm just enough for a short walk up the farm. So bored  ended up doing domestic jobs like descaling the kettle :#
    Sorry @Fairygirl it HAS to be dark chocolate haven't eaten the milk stuff for years.

    Either of those is an excellent ear worm to have @AuntyRach.   Possum, having been brought up musically by a mother who knew the 60s so can sing along to the Beatles, Beach Boys, Tamla Motown and Atlantic Soul and much more, loves Bo Rap.   Her first bop was at 8 months old jigging to Sweet Dreams Are Made of This.

    She has been accused by her Belgian friends of having weird taste but then they grew up with parents who got French pop in the 80s......   Serious ear pain!

    The sun is out, for a while.  I have taken the chucks a banana and hung it up for them to peck.  They have no idea what it is.  Might have to slice it for their first time.  OH and Possum have taken the dogs out and I am off to sew.

    Enjoy your hugs @Yviestevie and anyone esle who can get some.  Virtual hugs to those in need.

    Hugs for you too from me @Yviestevie. Keep on keeping on.
    Same for me @AuntyRach - got Procol Haram, and then reckoned the Dan were a good bet, but couldn't bring any lyric to mind. Far too many to ponder ;)
    I wondered about good ol' Barry and his Copacabana, but that's merengi [spelling? no idea] isn't it?
    You can have my share  as well @Allotment Boy. Just give me all the peppermint Aero you can spare and that's me happy. A long time favourite from childhood  :D
    Never had a badger in any garden @chicky - only seen them squished on roads. Sorry  :s
    Hope they don't rip up the lawn....

    ...I'm no Brian Ferret fan, but I do have a Roxy Music album (I must have had a funny half hour when I bought that) and doesn't one of their songs have Fandango? Just checked my album tracks - Do The Strand

    @punkdoc, might there be a clue in the latest Gardeners World?  ;)

    Kerching @steveTu! # tired of the tango, fed up with fandango....
    Their much later album Avalon, is brilliant. Quite different from the earlier stuff. I liked them well enough early on, but that album is one of my favourites.  :)

    Maybe I was so, so jealous - but I never understood what two people - Brian Ferret (far tooooo slimily,greasily, weasly for me) and Richard Gere (just why?) - had that women went mad over. I can't for the life of me think why I bought Roxy's greatest hits. Maybe it was a Christmas present from someone who didn't like me - like my mum or my dad or my wife or......

    Edited to add: slimily...then greasily...then

    @steveTu, that was our third one.
    @AnniD, sorry not sure what you are referring too.

    I was a fan of early Roxy. Virginia Plain, one of my all time favourite records.

    I have one more, but it is very obscure.

    I never got the Bryan Ferret thing either, especially when he sang. Ok when just "hingin' aboot".
     I can get the Richard Gere thing - definitely a handsome man, but a bit too groomed and refined for me. Clooney's the same. I've turned him down so often.... :D
