All I ever wanted...

I was in town a couple of Saturdays ago taking some photographs when out of nowhere the heavens opened. I quickly took refuge in the nearest shop - H&M (other shelters are available) - while it blew over. Fifteen minutes later I walked out of the store with a brand new winter coat under my arm. How did that happen? I suddenly felt like a proper grown up.

On the bus home I was trying desperately to place the song that had been playing while I was at the till paying for my swanky new garment; I knew it, but I didn't know it. You know the feeling don't you? That's what a brilliant cover does to you.

On the way home, just as I was about to get off the bus, I said "DEPECHE MODE!" (rather too loudly) to the driver. Seems I am that nutter on the bus.

Carla Bruni - Enjoy the Silence (2017)

    1. We did 'Violator' as our comeback album after Covid for the vinyl session; what a record.

  3. What TS said.

    We've all been the nutter on the bus at some point.

  4. I really thought this story was going to involve you meeting Carla Bruni in H&M. Like maybe she was behind the till.

    1. Ah, you're confusing H&M Nottingham with the H&M on Stella Street.
