I have been getting well into my MP3 player. I have on it all the new albums that I have either purchased myself recently or were given to me for Christmas, as well as a few golden oldies so there are about 25 different CDs on there altogether. I have the player set to auto-shuffle between album and artist and so I get a surprise with every track change.

You know how some tracks are definitely "ones for the fans" and I know I could miss them off when I copy them over but I can't be bothered with trying to remember which are my favourite so I just put them all on. Today, the player and I were totally in the groove and it played all the best tracks. I was singing along to Three Steps and Freebird by Lynyrd Skynryd and Love Song by Sarah Barreilles to name but three tracks plus all my favourites on the Soundtrack to "Once More With Feeling" from the cast of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (OK, I know, I know ....!!!!)

Trouble is, I have no idea what I sound like and I have a feeling that I probably sing quite loudly cos I can't hear myself, DH says that whenever he asks me anything when I have the MP3 player on, I shout the answer back!

Fortunately, we only have one house which would be near enough for anyone to hear me, and then only if they happen to be in their garden (which I think unlikely this time of year). So, Sandra and Steve .... if you have happened to hear me today, sorry! (and just tell me to shut up if it happens again).
