Now, due to the old people and board games you have probably taken your eye of the prize when it comes to the wonderful world of music. And I can’t blame you. Playing Pictionary with your Nan is without doubt more entertaining than reading this waffle. However, now that you’re back at work; waffle such as this provides a nice break from the humdrum time that you have to spend sitting behind a desk from 9-to-5 Monday-to-Friday. Unless of course you are able to smuggle your Nan into work, prop her up next to the coffee machine, and subsequently play charades across the office without anyone notice you waving your hands above your head. Since I guess that isn’t possible, you’ll have to put up with this.

However, I think they all sound alright now.
