By Slanted Light

Seriously bloody good for you. The fact that you take the trouble and make the effort, and there's a whole bunch of people the better for it - chapeau, I honestly take my hat off to you. Nothing of note is going on here, but have a bit of silliness - one of the neighbours (this is a row of 5 houses all now divided into flats, plus 1 separate whole house plus 2 buildings of five flats each, all sort of set well away from the road in an isolated bunch - just to give you the setting) - um, so as I was saying, one of the neighbours put out a note on the whatsapp group (which currently includes only the row of 5 houses) to have a playlist playoff between the houses; four flats-worth of people went out into the front gardens with a laptop and speakers and drinks, and we put speakers and a phone on our terrace-y bit (with beer) and we had a sort of long-distance musical get-not-too-close-together. I remembered we had a portable colour-changing light so we put it on an extension lead and pointed it down into the gardens to provide the lighting effects for dancing in the gardens. They had a louder sound system than we did, so at one point we texted our choice instead of playing it ourselves and the 'DJ' (first neighbour) put on an entirely different track (one I happen to loathe) so now everybody thinks we like it and I'm UTTERLY MORTIFIED :-s *g*
