I keep forgetting to have a look on here. I'll blame the perimenopause

Laura @musicalcrochet.bsky.social · 28/12/2025

Been booked to do a Valentine's Day gig, which is ironic because after nearly 6 years single, I've totally given up on love. Might do Love Stinks in the style of Adam Sandler.

Just found this & realised again how lucky I was to grow up with Kenneth Williams, Bernard Cribbins, Willy Rushton and Rik Mayall telling me stories. Just magical youtu.be/pmI1lWt7Muw?...

Haven't popped over here for ages because I got out of the habit of checking. Have I missed much?

Had a friend stay this week, and he sorted my shop out and uncovered my piano, so I got one of my old books out. Have hardly played for 30 years and am very rusty, but I loved it!

Dawson's Creek is the perfect programme to wallow in nostalgia and self-pity

A reminder from two years ago why I don't do dating apps. After a few pleasant messages, they all did this.

Well, it looks like the potential man of my dreams isn’t moving into the empty flat next door. Oh well... back to the single and no drama lifestyle, which is actually my preferred choice most of the time

When your son's friend popped into the pub with his dad and little sister, just to see you sing at your gig or a minute and you think it's lovely. And then find out that your actual son was standing outside and refused to enter the premises on account of you being so embarrassing

Oh, how I miss the days when I could learn lyrics in an hour. Got a gig tomorrow night & want to add an extra song, but it's like pulling teeth. Stupid brain!

Laura @musicalcrochet.bsky.social · 23/07/2025

Seriously, how do people afford dental care of over £3k that really does need to happen, or you'll possibly die of infection. At this point, I don't know whether to cry or whether I'm just bored of how ridiculous my life is

I had this cassette. A couple of months ago I found it online and made @itsjoels.bsky.social listen to it. Still not sure he's forgiven me My younger sister says she has PTSD because of it. You've heard nothing until you've heard Lou Beale sing 'Daddy Wouldn't Buy Me A Bow Wow'

Been waiting for a blood test at the hospital for two hours! Bored!

Just binge-watched this. Unspeakably heartbreaking. Social media has been like opening Pandora's Box. I genuinely don't know how the very dark side of it can ever be controlled or stopped. So many people in echo chambers. Thinking of the victims & their friends & families.

God I miss George. Crying again

Laura @musicalcrochet.bsky.social · 12/07/2025

God I adore CSN. If I had to pick between visiting SF & Janis & The Dead or Laurel Canyon & Crosby/Cass, I'm genuinely not sure which I'd choose. Crosby used to rate people's joints on Twitter.

Just got home and popped #liveaid on. Some woman called Julie used to say I looked like Kiki Dee. I don't!

Friend, son, beer, swimming pool, Millie the cat. Not a bad way to end the day

It's not every day that you receive a letter from Historic England, informing you that you own part of an historic monument.

How have I felt really ill from hayfever for an entire week?!?! Never happened before! Fed up with it

I don't eat all day and then have this much pasta for dinner. One of these days I might need someone to save me from myself

@martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com My tiny shop's water bills have suddenly gone up by £68.94 per month to £124.81, with no explanation. It's so hard on the high street as it is. How are we expected to survive? Panicking

1997...21 years old...VIP access all areas and after gig parties at several Oasis gigs 2025...49 years old...sitting at home bored on a Friday night and wishing I'd appreciated my life more at 21. Nice to see the boys back though, bless 'em

Thinking of an old friend who I've just found out died today. You never know when it's too late. I wish I'd let things go and stayed in touch. Very sad. Too late...again.

Laura @musicalcrochet.bsky.social · 29/06/2025

Nothing...nothing gives you energy like seeing The Prodigy live. Although I was 21 at the time. Not sure I'd jump around as much at nearly 50 Again...the 90s were pretty good!

Alanis Morissette. Still a queen. I saw her Jagged Little Pill tour in Melbourne in 1996 and she's got even more stage presence now. Love her And which woman my age hasn't thought of a man who broke her heart whilst belting out You Outta Know "And are you thinking of me while you..."

Scissors Sisters breaking into GM's Freedom at the end of Take Your Mama was lovely! Not the original line up but soooo much fun! Love 'em

Why do they allow miming at Glastonbury these days? It's not TOTP ffs. If you can't sing live, that's fine, but you shouldn't be on stage at a music festival

Laura @musicalcrochet.bsky.social · 29/06/2025

John Fogerty- 80, owns his own songs again, and rocking out at Glastonbury. Love it!

020

Laura @musicalcrochet.bsky.social · 29/06/2025

Catching up with Glastonbury tomorrow, starting with John Fogerty because I love CCR, then Neil Young, & poss Alanis. Saw her Jagged Little Pill tour in Melbourn in 1996. Blimey I'm getting old

Tried Internet dating again, and the only man I've ended up chatting to is my postie, who I'm mates with anyway & I only messaged to take the pee out of one of his pics. I'm not cut out for this nonsense. I don't do P.E., I don't do dull & sensible. I give up...again!

Is it terrible parenting when your 13 year old son is revising reproduction for his end of year exam, and you spontaneously burst into the song from Grease 2?

Certain songs take you straight back to specific times in your life. David Gray was played in the pub tonight & took me back to the early 2000s in the soho pubs with the best colleagues I ever had.

Laura @musicalcrochet.bsky.social · 22/06/2025

Bored. Went onto dating app. Men into exercise or who can't string a sentence together. Did send a message to one man...my postie. He'll laugh...I hope!

What do you mean it's too hot for me to sit on you?

Laura @musicalcrochet.bsky.social · 21/06/2025

Finished my lovely friend Brendan's book yesterday. It's really good, as I knew it would be. I've got some very clever and talented people around me.

Laura @musicalcrochet.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

What a lovely evening listening to @nicwilson.bsky.social talk about her new book, Land Beneath The Waves. Reminders of how important it is to self-reflect & go to counselling to help you be the strongest person you can be. It's saved me a few times... 1 of 2

Every day, lately, when I shut my shop, I can't wait to get home where there are no people. So home, cuddle the cat, eat. Then I get bored & a bit lonely & want to do something. I drive myself mad!
