Oh, an emotional trigger, my dad and I used to duet Cinderella Rockerfella when I was little. Just had a little weep😪

[Hidden in reply to Jell6]

Oh Gosh - I’m sorry, my dad has Alzheimer’s and when we were kids in Liverpool, he used to sing Lily The Pink to us and change the lyrics. So when I was doing the list, I cried a little too, but I’m glad I kept it in, because it’s a very happy memory.

[Jell6 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

No apologies needed, all Dad memories are great memories, so thanks for that one🤗

Went a 5k run last Wednesday with mummycav/Jancanrun part 1 retro music to accompany me. Now downloaded part 2 and will listen to that music the next time I'm out a 🏃 run 😊

[Hidden in reply to AlMorr]

Lovely to know that they help for the running. They are such fun to compile - there are so many creative folk on here when there’s a theme..

It’s great to hear what others find inspiring, thx! ‘Stan’ though 😱 ... I like to run to Eminem mix but when this came on... 😩

[Hidden in reply to CarolineLou71]

I know it is quite a thinking one but the pace helps me up a hill...
