I only have to watch the video for “Blend” to get my mojo back.

Name songs. They are countless, and their quality is variable. From the heartbreaking beauty of Lennon’s “Julia” to the mind-numbing crassness of… well, there are too many bad’uns to choose from.
It struck me […]

Very funny in its prime.

My youngest daughter’s ex-fiancé’s aunt’s mum was June’s best friend since childhood. No, really. I attended the great lady’s 90th birthday bash laid on by Friends of Wimbledon Theatre and can confirm that June […]
