This Week I Will Be Mostly..... week 2

Listening to Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off"

Not by choice.

It's not that I don't like it or Miss Swift's world takeover - there are far worse role models our youngsters can idolise and she's an extremely talented young lady. It's a problem because my 5 year old loves it. And plays it over and over again.

It's not even the Taylor Swift original but a cover version.  The 5 year old has found a Bieberesque type boy who sings & vlogs. It's called MattyBRaps and she is ever so slightly obsessed.

Thank God she's too young for twitter and facebook.

Matty can be found here MattyBRaps

This Week I Will Be Mostly....week 1.

into....

Podcasts. Yes I know they've been around for 10 years but I'm a bit slow to join the party.
So for anyone else who hasn't given them a thought, here's my recommendations.

I particularly like the Frank Skinner radio show, which is the chatty bits from his Saturday morning show on Absolute Radio with his co-hosts Alun Cochrane & Emily Dean. Frank is extremely quick witted and coupled with Alun's almost deadpan presence and Emily's reminders she was in "Day of the Triffids" it makes for a fun hour.

I've also made a start on The Archers omnibus, so far 4 weeks in and I still have no clue who anyone is!



This week I also discovered Titanic Letters. These were letters sent from passengers and crew on the Titanic in the days before she sank and again sent from survivors on the Carpathia. Each one was only about 3 minutes long but fascinating.


What have you discovered this week?  A favourite tea, a song, TV Programme?  Let me know what you're "mostly into"
