Very close but including my own vote, by 15 - 13, it's Wax And Wane into the last sixteen. 🤪

30 voters ending in an overture as Don't Go defeated The Look Of Love 18 - 12.

UPDATE Now that all the second round group results are in, today I'll make the third round draw (last 32 songs) and the first two of the 16 matches will start tomorrow - you can all have a day off, you deserve it! (Cocteau Twins got through BTW, really good news, that).

Today's Sunday dinner is roast beef and parsnips, creamy garlic mushrooms, Yorkshire's, Cathedral City cheddar mash and special guests Marmite roast potatoes.

In the closest threesome since Man About The House, The Look Of Love and Golden Brown got 16 votes each while Love Is A Stranger finished with 15.

Mint Aero coffee? It's a yes ✔️ from me.

I was 14 when I bought A Distant Shore. It might have been my most played CD that year. So to see Plain Sailing go through in second place behind The Clash is simply thrilling!

#Singles1982 ROUND 2 GROUP 11 🤔 WHICH TWO DO IT FOR YOU? 🤔 ABC – The Look Of Love Eurythmics – Love Is A Stranger Patrice Rushen – Forget Me Nots Siouxsie & The Banshees – Slowdive The Stranglers – Golden Brown

Bangers and mash for tea. 🤪

I thought it would be Party Fears Two getting the most votes and so it proved so it was just a case of totting up Jackie Wilson Said and House Of Fun for second place and Dexy's won by eighteen votes to sixteen.

Duchess found a new hiding place. 🐱

I put all my faith in Arsenal and Chelsea this week in the #BlueskyPremier league and was richly rewarded 😥 also had 23 points on the bench 🤔 surely others had a better gameweek?

Who remembers Catweazle! Electrickery and the telling bone. I used to go down our local woods and change into nothing but an old tablecloth and hide behind trees. I had no toad companion though and being only seven, lacked any authentic facial hair.

Well you were really saying something yesterday when you voted Bananarama and FB3 through with 20 votes and even more pleasing was Gang Of Four claiming second place in GROUP 4 of #Singles1982 ROUND 2. 20 - Really Saying Something 16 - I Love A Man In Uniform 12 - Madness – Cardiac Arrest

I bought a THANK YOU card and two tubs of HEROES for the staff in the hospital ward I was in recently as an appreciation. But I've just seen a news article about M&S and their new BIG MIX tin for Christmas and I'm very tempted to snap up one of these at £12.

A fantastic day of voting in group 3 #Singles1982 with Yazoo just missing out by a whisker - thrilling stuff! 🙏 19 - Bow Wow Wow – Go Wild In The Country 16 - Haircut 100 – Fantastic Day 15 - Yazoo – Only You 13 - Japan – Night Porter 11 - Duran Duran – Save A Prayer

Problems uploading images so just a screengrab of the Chinese food. I've only managed to eat five of the pork balls so far!

Home. Home again. I like to be here when I can. Thank you to all the well-wishers during my stay in hospital. 🙏

That's not right is it. The insect is the "beetle". 🧐

Monopoly likely caused more household disputed than any other board game. But before starting, did you have a favourite piece that you wanted to be? I'm not sure but I think I usually plumped for the car..

When opposites don't attract. Two ends of the cup of tea spectrum here (nicked off X formerly known as Twitter). I'm definitely a leftie; strong as you like and plenty of sugar! Can't bear milky tea or coffee for that matter.

#Singles1982 ROUND 2 GROUP 3 🤔 WHICH TWO DO IT FOR YOU? 🤔 Bow Wow Wow – Go Wild In The Country Duran Duran – Save A Prayer Haircut 100 – Fantastic Day Japan – Night Porter Yazoo – Only You

Once again thank you to the many of you voting in this. Temptation won Group 2 of this #Singles1982 second round comfortably with A Town Called Malice going through as runner-up.

Gameweek 4 #BlueskyPremier review. How was it for you? In a week where Chrome managed to lock me out of both FPL and Gaffr, I could only access my team on Firefox. Here is the current table. The GW5 deadline is next Saturday, 11:00.

If this is real and I suspect it might be, the game is SO gone.

Hospital. Day 6. Dinner. Introducing the NHS venison and lentil curry 🤔 well I'll be trying it that's for sure. Miniscule tub of Purbeck ice cream to follow but to be fair, you wouldn't be expecting Haagen Das.

Hospital. Day 6. Sunday roast pork dinner! I can't wait to be home to make my first of the autumn season next weekend.

So the latest is tomorrow I will see the heart failure team who will start tablet treatment and then start the discharge process so, if not Monday then going home Tuesday. That's great news isn't it. 🤪 My body weight is heading in the right direction too.
