I have been doing other things. Different things. So I haven’t visited the LoL much in recent days…
Okay then, Clicky, over a week.
And I confess my lack of shambling was playing on my mind when I jumped into Thoughtful Man’s van for the journey to work this morning. This is the route we normally take…
We like to go via the seafront because it’s a much pleasanter drive than negotiating the traffic and barmy light system through the centre of town. The accompanying music was selected randomly by Thoughful Man, from a CD he’d made himself for the previous weekend’s shifts.
“Thank fuck!” I thought, as he started pressing buttons. Local radio is utterly banal, full of unreasonably chirpy presenters, repetitive traffic updates and government sponsored ads intent on telling us how we should live.
Point A – Song No.1: Rock DJ by Robbie Williams
Shambles
1. (Informal) a state of total disorder. “my career was in a shambles“
2. a butcher’s slaughterhouse (archaic except in place names): “the shambles where the animals were slaughtered”
Discworld, Clicky, yes and its inhabitants riding it. I hadn’t talked to him about those thoughts at all – how did he know?
“I’ll post a shambles tonight.” I decided, as I bobbed my head in time to the music. But where? Here, at the LoL, or on Sync Miss For Him?
Point B – Song No.2: The Look of Love by ABC
Look of Love… Library of Libraries… LOL. I had my answer 😉 Not only that, but Hugo brought up Lexicon on the latest Merovee post, just a few hours earlier…
Lexi tells her parents she’s wise to the con and the ABC album housing the song. The journey had been smooth and I enjoyed singing along. That’s probably why Thoughtful Man decided the dial should be spun.
Point C – Song No.3: You Spin Me Round by Dead or Alive
Cross, Clicky? Not at Thoughtful Man; he has an aversion to listening to a song all the way through. I don’t think it’s just my singing 😉 But lots of things do make me cross these days.
Which brings us to…
Point D – Song No.4 – Something About You by Level 42
You betcha, Clicky! We were still Kinging it as we pulled up outside Point E 😀
Heigh Ho Clicky! Have a Song…
What an awesome playlist! We knew it already but are we ever in sync?! I was sitting in my ka having breakfast and watching a YouTube on my phone and I remember he said “the “T” represents man”.
Level 42. For to. Fortified. Like the lovejoy comet 😉
Spin spin spin
And is that Genesta on your route?!
There’s Genesta or Genista Bay on the coast of Yemen. Y men, they’re happy!
Egg cell in T, shamble, sister sync witch!

I was talking to the good witch at work yesterday. We had an 80s playlist on Spotify. It was as if every song was responding my thoughts or what I was doing.
The good witch is Scorpio, and I told her she must have something to do with the memory and the Sphinx, since water used to flow to the Sphinx to underground chamber. It was as if that had to happen to connect with the collective memory.
Anyway, when she arrived at work, Walk Like an Egyptian came on 🙂
I took a moment to check out headlines and saw how the Persian gulf might be too hot for humans in a few years, and noticed that HOT HOT HOT by Buster Poindexter was playing.
When the good witch left, she said “something will happen soon. Go with your instinct. Let’s get out of this fog.” And “the final countdown” was on.
It was surreal.
