Talking Heads -Thank You For Sending Me An Angel

I have just put on some old CD's. I chose to put on 'Stop Making Sense' and 'Thank You For Sending Me An Angel' went down very well with me!
I leaped to my feet and started dancing around like a maniac. I forgot how much I love that song.
I like the whole album actually.
'Take Me To The River ' really sticks in my mind as I heard it on a coach trip many years ago. We got stuck driving around the outskirts of Paris as the driver got lost. The whole journey from ferry to hotel was so long that we ended up watching the film 'Stop Making Sense' twice.
It was a great holiday though. I took my kids when they were young.
My daughter found one of those scratch cards where they tell you that you have won a free holiday. You haven't really. In reality you have to phone a premium rate  number and what you win is not a free holiday. It is a reduced priced holiday.
My determined daughter insisted it was a totally free holiday so as a learning exercise, I agreed we would phone the premium number but she had to contribute toward the cost, using her pocket money.
To my surprise, she agreed to this so I phoned the number and the deal wasn't actually too bad.
We ended up having a lovely couple of days exploring Paris.
The journey home was challenging though as the coach dropped us back in London at something like 4 in the morning!We had to wait for the train station to open so we could go home.

To think, all these memories have been triggered by dancing to a song!
