Thirty Days of Music, Day 2

A song that makes you cry

John Otway may not be the world's greatest singer, but he knows how to write a heartfelt song that combines sadness and optimism in equal measure. This genuinely made me well up the first time I heard it, and it still does now

Horse with no Name

A lazy Sunday, apart from a bit of ironing, with the usual round of dog walks, sunshine, games of Carcassonne and Words with Friends (in which I got royally flattened by Becs). The afternoon was mostly taken up with a bit of co-op Red Dead Redemption with Lufferov which was excellent fun, apart from one irritating twat who insisted on trying to set the raft that we were on on fire whilst we were being sniped at by Mexican banditos on either side of the river.

That's about it, folks!
