Isn't @Fleamaker123 in education as well? Or am I getting mixed up? A glass of vino with a rather nice dinner has dimmed my memory somewhat 😁

Sorry for your loss.

FlouncerInDenial · 23/10/2020 23:05

There is the whiff of authority about flea, so I wouldn't be surprised.

It was way past midnight
And she still couldn't fall asleep
This night the dream was leaving
She tried so hard to keep
And with the new day's morning
She felt it drift away
Not only for a cruise, not only for a day

SophieGiroux · 23/10/2020 23:23

1986

FlouncerInDenial · 23/10/2020 23:28

Captain of her heart.

Something like that.

Can't think who sang it

CoffeeBeansGalore · 23/10/2020 23:34

@FlouncerInDenial 🤣 Normal here. Plenty of outside space & we live very rural, near a forest, so plenty of lovely walks. View from back garden with snow. Field in front of us leading to forest.

Coffee, how gorgeous 😍 are they!

😂😂 Yes I work in a school too...and looking forward to a week off!
FlouncerInDenial · 23/10/2020 23:42

Coffee, that snow pic is incredible.
I had no worries about outside space.... you live in scotland. There's always a mountain nearby.
I meant your house.

We've had to spend the last couple of days outside the house, squatting at a friend's empty place, the pooch in puppy prison.
Tonight she will be on our bed and will take up ALL of it despite being described as a "small" breed

Fleamaker123 · 23/10/2020 23:43

Coffee, wow what a fabulous place to live! Just beautiful.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 23/10/2020 23:48

@FlouncerInDenial oh dear, was she in a crate? It will be nice to be back in your own bed, even with paws pushing you out & stealing the duvet!

@Fleamaker123 Thank you. They have their moments but we love them. I must admit to enjoying living in the middle of nowhere 😊

Flea - teacher?

Coffee, no not a crate. But no sofas. My dog requires 5* as a minimum. She's worse than stealing the duvet... she likes my pillow and is always afronted that I expect to have my head on it

Correct! Sung by a group called Double
FlouncerInDenial · 24/10/2020 00:21

Thanks sophie. We've been a bit distracted tonight. Blame coffee's beautiful dogs, but there'll be lots of lyrics up tomorrow after I've sobered up

CoffeeBeansGalore · 24/10/2020 00:33

Welcome to the thread @SophieGiroux 👋. I'll stop posting my dog pics now & get back to lyrics 😄

And then we got his niece

Oh my god!!! She is ridiculously cute! They all are! 😍😍😍

NeedToKnow101 · 24/10/2020 07:12

And her uncle too @CoffeeBeansGalore 😍
Where you live is very gorgeous

@FlouncerInDenial
Thanks for the bonus point!
A song..!

Too high
Can't come down
Losin' my head
Spinnin' 'round and 'round
Do you feel me now?

Early 90s

Honeyroar · 24/10/2020 08:51

Is it Abracadabra? Steve Millar band?

I love your dogs coffee. We also live in the middle of nowhere with a house full of dogs.

What on earth was I thinking??????

This is a lesson on why you shouldn't ever post when drunk.

I have to do some serious house-y stuff for a bit, but I'll spend the time thinking up lyrics for you all. I might do some dead easy ones again, because that flurry is always amusing to me
