One More Night– Phil Collins:- Songwriters: Philip David Charles Collins

[Johnny-One]

Another great week, although the weather took a bit of a turn. That wet stuff from the sky came down. I forget what they call it since it has been that long since I have experienced it, oh yes, rain. I am not any the worse for the experience though.

That great song by Blue Pearl comes to my mind each time it rains, and if we lost a little weight each time we were hit by a rain drop all the better, “Take me dancing naked in the rain.” I know the song is actually called “Naked in the Rain” but I loved that song when it was out and I have it on vinyl. Of course, poor Tina Turner would not be singing, “I Can’t Stand the Rain” which was another great hit. And then there is Adele’s “Set Fire to Loraine”, sorry an old joke to a friend of mine called Loraine … “Set Fire to The Rain”. There are tons of great songs about the Rain.

How are you doing with your healthy living and lifestyle?

I have just been plodding along quite nicely this week, so I chose “One more night by Phil Collins” as a happy background sort of song … just plodding along with my life. No great set-backs, no great highlights. In the song “One More Night” Phil is actually in the doldrums about a relationship he wants to get back on track, but we will park that for the moment.

…

One more night, one more night

…

I've been trying, oh so long to let you know

Let you know how I feel

And if I stumble, if I fall, just help me back

So I can make you see

…

Please give me one more night

Give me one more night

One more night

'Cause I can't wait forever

…

Give me just one more night

Ooh, just one more night

Oh, one more night

'Cause I can't wait forever

…

…

Give me just one more night

Give me just one more night

Ooh, one more night

'Cause I can't wait forever

Well very musical 🎼 😂 I love Phil Collins music and favourite has to be about a son something along lines of you're no son of mine? I have been terrible at work as there is always food there so I told myself I would have 2 biscuits at 10am but because I am buying stuff like that I end up eating all the sweets etc that people bring in

No more now as I never used to touch it before.

Got caught in the rain yesterday but still walked and didn't let it put me off. Looking forward to extra day off for bank holiday 😀

I know what you mean about office life. A friend has a birthday, or some other celebration and they bring in doughnuts, chocolates or some other sweet treats and you feel obliged to join in the celebrations. Or you are busy in your schedule so you go for your five-minute coffee break and add some luscious snack; some biscuits or a bag of crisps or something. So much for your healthy living regime.

I find at work, especially when I am buying the snacks for my teams, I need to look enthusiastic but still not partake. I have also switched to water rather than a coffee for my morning and afternoon breaks. I drink more water, so go for more breaks, but still avoid the temptation. It is quite hard in our office, because the office manager keeps buying extra snacks; small bags of M&Ms, treat size nut bars, mini-pain au chocolat, mini pain au-raisins, etc.

These are all empty calories I keep reminding myself, but I do have a sweet tooth. So far I have resisted, then I find I get into a habit.

Good luck.
