“A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop-a-wop-bam-boom!”
RIP Little Richard 💬

So time is gonna bring you spring
Laura Nyro, Time and Love 💬
Some favourite song lyrics.

And we’ll talk
In present tenses
Joni Mitchell, Chelsea Morning 💬🎵

They were both silent for a moment, and the silence wound out around them and filled the kitchen, to be sliced into gentle pieces by the soft ticking of the clock.
Terry Pratchett at his most poetic. I love this line from Lords and Ladies. 💬
I removed and re-added my Letterboxd feed and it seems to have posted every update for the last few weeks. Apologies to anyone whose micro.blog feed I might have flooded.
