This seems like a good way to introduce a new blog, as it sets out what's important to you right off (even though of course that might change over time).<br /><br />I am with you on Shaun Keaveny - I can't listen to him at all, and to be honest his taste in music doesn't match up with my mine as well as most other 6 Music DJs so I can't even justify listening on those grounds. Sounds like you have a good, eclectic music collection. <br /><br />Also, I love the idea of a patronus being a sloth. I have no idea what mine would be, but I'm sure I'll be thinking about it for the next few days...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940545051361113340.post-10301087590595806352016-05-18T19:58:28.957+01:002016-05-18T19:58:28.957+01:00Hooray!

And now I must go watch La Streisand, thanks! My b.f. and I used to be obsessed with her Christmas album in particular, she is magnificent! I also enjoy cheesy pop and the odd bit of disco interspersed with my more hip musical loves. And the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe was/is magical, I also discovered it an an age where I was young enough to believe if I poked around in my parent's wardrobe long enough (there was even a fur in there, an unwanted gift of my mother), but I did love to rub my face on it (gross but I was too young to know better)and pray for Narnia to appear. Maybe if your Dad reads this it will lead to a conversation, I hope so if that's what you want. xoSteffRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12883091806982307143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940545051361113340.post-15398392304303332492016-05-17T09:05:21.210+01:002016-05-17T09:05:21.210+01:00I love this :)I love this :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00414010663277948166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940545051361113340.post-3854573655042826962016-05-17T08:03:36.770+01:002016-05-17T08:03:36.770+01:00Enjoyed this, but no.10...?Enjoyed this, but no.10...?HazelxJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438389465030714608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940545051361113340.post-18625514193939603972016-05-16T22:27:10.450+01:002016-05-16T22:27:10.450+01:00Loved learning about you!
