It's been a bit of a day. A bit of a week really. I'm at the start of a huge project at work, so wearing a succession of hats. Once the project starts rolling properly I'll have time to take stock - at the moment it all seems a bit manic - being pulled in several directions at once all the time. I'm trying to think of some music to put on while writing this - but am coming up with nothing. I just asked Alexa to play some "late night music", and she's chosen Taylor Swift. It's pretty dark, slow, and relaxing - I have no idea what track it is. The coming weekend is going to be interesting. Our youngest daughter turns 19. She has invited several friends for a sleepover - I think they're taking over the living room for Saturday afternoon and evening. I imagine the rest of us will scatter to the four corners of the house to escape them. I wonder if the internet connection will survive that many teens at once? It's funny - normally I'm outnumbered four to one by women in the house - with the extra influx it's going to get pretty ridiculous. The older I get, and the more complicated their lives become, the more I find myself playing the part of the father in Dirty Dancing. Always here to pick them up, to console, and to give advice - but also on the receiving end of endless sarcasm. Aha - I know the next track - it's "Anti-Hero". Go me. I could probably do a pub-quiz on Taylor Swift at this point. As long as they play “Anti-Hero”. Full disclosure - I bought a couple of her albums earlier in the year - part of the drive to add at least some female singers to our vinyl record collection. She joined Madonna and Tori Amos in the rather exclusive collection of music I’m re-acquiring. Next on the list are Sara Bareilles, Idina Menzel, and P!nk. It’s getting late. I should probably go and collapse into bed. I have to make another trip into town in the morning for sleepover food supplies. Perhaps I should hole-up at the pub tomorrow evening - invite a few friends and actively avoid instagram ground zero for a few hours. We’ll see.
