This day comes but once every four years. Any guesses of the theme?

Playlist of the week: 23rd February 2020

The playlist-with-a-theme guessing game!

Back to more standard fare this week, i.e. you don’t need access to my calendar to guess the theme.

Last week’s playlist theme was: Sascha is gone. Yes, after our beloved black-and-white friend left, I was feeling a bit blue at first, so some classic break-up songs helped.

Playlist of the week: 16th February 2020

The playlist-with-a-theme guessing game!

If you guessed last week’s correctly, this one will be a piece of cake.

Last week’s playlist theme was: Sascha. Over the past week we’ve been looking after our friends’ dog, Sascha, who:

    * Is a border collie, therefore black and white
    * Loves to play frisbee
    * Didn’t let us sleep much on her last sleepover

See if you can guess this week’s theme, then.

Playlist of the week: 9th February 2020

The playlist-with-a-theme guessing game!

You’ll never guess this one unless you know me in real life.

Last week’s playlist theme was: Groundhog Day. Of course it was! Last Sunday was Groundhog Day after all, something I didn’t realise until I started making the playlist.

More next week.

Playlist of the week: 2nd February 2020

The playlist-with-a-theme guessing game!

I didn’t plan this theme, it just sort of came to me.

Last week’s playlist theme was: self-pleasure. Yep, great pop songs all about a bit of alone time. Any excuse to use Carly Rae Jepsen and Hailee Steinfeld in a playlist!

More next week.

Last week’s playlist theme was: sandwich. It was a BLT! Bread, lettuce (Let Us Love), Mayo, Raphael Saadiq featuring Rob Bacon, tomato, and then more Bread.

More next week.

Playlist of the week: 19th January 2020

The playlist-with-a-theme guessing game!

The idea is simple: there’s a theme running through this playlist. There could be clues in the lyrics, song titles, artists, albums, or some other kind of trivia: one playlist in the past was, “Songs covered by Lake Street Dive” (I’ll try to do less obscure ones in future!).

Answer for “Playlist of the week: 12th January 2020”: this was an unusually topical one! It was all about Harry and Meghan announcing they’ll step back from their royal engagements. Rejected songs included We Don’t Talk Any More by Sir Cliff Richard.

And now onto this week’s list!

How did I amass more than 300,000 outfits?

I love to buy clothes, and I realised that’s caused a problem: I have more outfits than I can wear in a lifetime.
