Some lyrics for you guys:
There may be a theme, either title or artist, but no prizes for guessing 😁

“Sun ain’t nearly on the rise
we still got the moon and stars above”
70s

”one of these early mornings baby you gonna be wiping your weeping eyes
Huh, what I said now?”
60s also a release in the 2000s

“And the girls respond to the call
I heard a woman shout out”
2000s

”when the morning came and she, she made him breakfast
she liked his house and she, she liked his address”
70s

”we’re gonna move real good yeah right
we’re gonna dress so fine”
80s

Yes, Sally is a greyhound 😊, a breed I’ve had my eye on for a while because of their temperament.
We adopted her from a local animal sanctuary who has recently started taking in ex racing greyhounds.
I’ve wanted a dog for years, and had been up to the sanctuary a few times to donate blankets etc (just so I could look at the dogs really ). I think they were getting fed up of me loitering round the kennels 😬 xx

Hi, The Commitments covered it in a film in 1991 which I’d forgotten about to be honest.
Both the 60s and 2000s was Wilson Pickett.

Hello all 🖐

Few lyrics for a sunny Saturday.

Cause I'd tear out the pages
That I've got in these books
Just to find you some words
Just to get some reward

Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing, but I was so blind
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

Something nasty in your garden's waiting
Patiently, till it can have your heart
Try to go but it won't let you
Don't you know it's out to get you running

Does she come complete?

So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know, or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there

I’m not proud, I was wrong
and the truth is hard to take
i felt sure we had enough
but our love went overboard

Showing how funky and strong is your fight
it doesn’t matter who’s wrong and who’s right
