Love To Love You, Baby
Isn't it amazing how one interprets things so differently with the benefit of age and/or hindsight?
Driving to work this morning, stuck in traffic and listening to my new, second-hand, two euro, garage sale cassette tape of Donna Summer moaning and sighing through 'Love To Love You, Baby' , I couldn't help but titter as I remembered frequently hearing that same song on the radio when I was about twelve years old.
At the time, I liked the music but thought the lyrics boring, and wondered why the poor lady was moaning so much. Perhaps she had a sore tummy, or had been forced to do yucky homework. Maybe her little brother was being a real pain, like mine...
Those very same sighs and moans resonate quite differently with me today!

All right. I just HAVE to ask! Stuck in traffic? In your lovely, quaint little village? What happened? Spill over from the Renaissance fair?

How can I ever read this particular blog again after having met you in person?

I know Greg, isn't it awful? Now that you know me for the raddled old slapper I truly am, and the fact that I had to use a body double for my "portrait"... things will never be the same again! My mystique is sadly shattered for ever...

P.S. Greg: I love the way you say "met you in person"...
It makes me sound really important!
