What Do You Want To Make Those Eyes At Me For?↓

Thermal vest goes on.

As well as some layers.

Now out of the house we go.

Parks car.

Now to look in the first Charity Shop.

There was nothing in there.

Picked up an Americano

(With blue milk)

Plus a cake to eat later on.

Moving on with the Road Trip.

Lots of bargains we got.

Nipped into Waitrose for some bits.

Then back out for a nibble!

On the way back,

Hubby got his car cleaned...

All nice and clean now.

Back home to unpack all the lovely bargains.

More jigsaws for younger son to do.

Lunchtime.

We rewatched the Meatloaf programme again from last night.

Really good programme.

R.I.P Meat Loaf.

Now to put all the Minions together.

I will have to make some trousers for the Hulk teddy.

Younger son already did one Jigsaw that we bought earlier.

I carried on writing two blog posts.

Hubby recovered from his migraine.

(Slept it off)

To do the tea.

Tea was finished.

Blogs were published.

Time to catch up with 2 episodes of Top of the Pops from 1992.

A good song was at number 11.

There would be a new number one for the next 8 weeks...↓

Marcella Detroit was sacked in 1993 from the band.

While unsurprised at the final dissolution of the partnership, Detroit was distressed by the way it ended and how it was announced. Many years later, she would comment "I was never in it to steal anyone's glory away; I just did my job. I was asked by everybody to become part of it and then everybody wanted me out... I learned a lot about what it means to be an artist... To put two people as different as we were together – well, we were bound to have differences personality-wise. In the video for 'Stay', I was singing to this guy who was dying and she (Siobhan) was the Angel of Death. We used our personality differences to our advantage, but it was a little too real!"

Detroit and Fahey had not spoken to or seen each other for 25 years before eventually meeting and talking again in 2018.

They did some good songs together in 2019.

I looked into today's newspaper.

Bill Bixby was an American actor, director, producer, and frequent game-show panelist. His career spanned more than three decades, including appearances on stage, in films, and on television series. He is known for his roles as Tim O'Hara in the CBS sitcom My Favorite Martian, Tom Corbett in the ABC sitcom The Courtship of Eddie's Father, stage illusionist Anthony Blake in the NBC crime drama series The Magician, and scientist Dr. David Banner in the CBS science-fiction drama series The Incredible Hulk.
He would have been 88 years old 🎈

He sadly died aged 59 in 1993.

Exactly a week after it aired in America, the first episode of Hill Street Blues received its UK premiere on this day in 1981.

Joan Armatrading releases

"Drop the Pilot" on this day in 1983.

On this date in 1984 "Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood reaches number one in the UK singles chart, despite the BBC ban; it will spend a total of 42 weeks in the top 40.
