Day 26 of #musicalmarch🎵
Coolio and Gangsta’s Paradise was another song that featured in my uni years quite a lot. I wasn’t a heavy rap fan, but some songs just grow on you…
And I won’t go Eastern, but East African today! It wouldn’t be right for me to ignore the Kenyan influence in my life! This song gets played at all our family weddings, and reminds me of many fun summers spent back in Kenya!
Any other culture songs that you enjoy?

Linda’s #SoCS prompt this Saturday is…
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “march.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!
March is coming to an end. It’s been a strange month.
Blogging wise, I kept busy with my #musicalmarch posts, injecting a little music into the lives of my followers, and being reminded of more amazing songs by those who decided to join me on my musical journey.
I spent the beginning of the month on sick leave after my accident.
We have experienced another terrorist attack, this time in London.
The UK was busy raising money for Comic Relief.
And there is still a week to go.
I have the fun of my best friend’s baby shower tonight, but that also means sitting in the driver’s seat for my first long distance drive, alone, since the crash.
Then we have Mother’s Day this Sunday too.
It’s the last week of term, so there are plenty of loose ends to tie up at school before our two week Easter Break.
During that week, I will be attending a leaving do for two colleagues who will be sorely missed.
This month has also seen my Lil Man start Food Technology at school, and he has totally embraced it! We have been sampling cakes a few times so far! (Yesterday’s Victoria Sponge being the latest!
Yes, a busy month in many ways… Roll On April!

Day 25 of #musicalmarch🎵!
A little R Kelly and Bump N Grind, as it was another song that played heavily on my uni years!
And for the Eastern influence today… Cholo Ke Peeche Kya Hai from Khalnayak! This one reminds me of Uni too, as the guys went crazy for the video! Madhuri Dixit is an amazing dancer, and she set a real precedence here as the dance was shot apparently in one take! The lyrics translate to ” What’s under your top??!!” You heart obvously! ;P

Sue’s #writephoto prompt this week…
It wasn’t often that she got to the beach ahead of the rest of the crowds, but today was one of those days. The morning mists were just clearing, and the sun was starting to shine.
Looking at the empty run of golden sand, with the tufts of green grass inviting her to sit, she took a step forward.
Then stopped.
Those shadows.
Glancing to her right, she expected to see other standing there. Drat, she wasn’t the first after all.
But there was no one there. The whole beach was empty.
Yet the shadows remained.
And they appeared to be moving towards her.
Footprints appeared in the sand.
She needed no other warning.
Tightening her grip on her beach bag, she sped off, screaming to no one in particular.
