Excellent list Jan.I’ve put out a request for songs from musicals. I was wondering if when I’ve got the list together would you be willing to put it on Spotify as I don’t have Spotify.

Sorry you’re still on the IC . I managed 15 minutes on the mill of dread this afternoon but it really challenges my breathing and coughing. 🥴

[Hidden in reply to Razouski]

Yes no worries of course I’ll put it there, I have a couple of suggestions to go on there too, just need to get my thinking cap on.

Good on you for keeping at it, hopefully your breathing will get unbunged soon...

Physio for 2 hours tomorrow - they keep giggling because I can't actually relax my muscles, one of them is going to use me as a case study for his degree ...

Love the playlist Jan, some total classics in there and some that I’d forgotten about, like Born to be Alive! Sorry to hear you are still on the IC, hope you can run soon 😊

[Hidden in reply to CatMo13]

Thanks - well the physios are doing their job, so fingers are crossed...

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

Great music Jan, I have just downloaded the playlist onto my Smartphone although I won't be listening to it just now, hope you get off the IC soon.

[Hidden in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks Al I hope I do too.
