Thank you for the clip! What a fabulous earworm. The song was faintly familiar, and it was dee-licious! I don't remember having seen the spectacularly funky clip before.
In my forties, having finally shed the label of "clumsy" that my dad gave me, I did bellydance classss for maybe five or so years. I recognised at least one move on the clip! - What joy! -So even though I'm in bed currently (I will get up soon), recovering from something, my heart and imagination were *definitely* grooving. Thank you, Wake.

Succotash? I'm glad you explained what it is. I think the only time I heard of it, growing up, was Sylvester the cat's exclamation: "Suffering succotash!". Ha. It does sound like delicious, warming, comfort food.

I had lovely albeit conservative friends in the 1980s, and by the late 80s was married. Thank goodness my brilliant sister, and other friends, helped me gradually to find a wider scene. Anyway: this meant no drugs for me either, as a teen or twentysomething! I am impressed that you had the integrity to find a place of having fun whilst helping keep yourself and others safe.

Finally: how heart-warming, how toes-toastingly brilliant, to feel held and surrounded by belonging in your town. All those lovely humans!

- Additional: cool toaster! 🍞 As a child once I saw a clown who got the group to chant "Toast! Is life!" This for some reason has stuck with me.

Wow - now I have a bunch of stuff to write further about, if I want. Thanks for the fun!

Enjoy your weekend, Wake. 💕 🕺 🕺 💃
Awwww! I love that my random set of rabbit holes I inspired so many relatable stories!
I know we’d have such a good time have tea, but this newsletter does the trick too!
I love you lots and hope you get a delightful weekend!
Great toaster! Excellent song! Even greater post!
It’s such a good song 🥹
And thank you for popping in to read this weird post! I just wanted to talk about a bunch of things. But mostly Dee-lite 😆
I want that toaster 😌
When my friend (who got the toaster for me) came over…I was talking about needing a gluten-free toaster for my kiddo.
We have a cute and funky microwave, very similar to the toaster…and my friend…
She just…ordered one for us.
It’s so magical, and now my youngest can make his own toast. (I’m in utter gratitude over here)
