Your favourite can obviously change daily, today my fave is:


"Visions of Johanna"


WHY ? Seems in a class or style of it's own for the time it was issued, perhaps at that time it sounded like what was to come (part of what was to come) in popular music. Sung with confidence, like a strong poem, never seems to tire no matter how many times you play it. Also something quite sensual about it.

Gave up far too easily. (tu)

I am

Favourite Dylan song constantly changes but today I am thinking:


All Over Now Baby Blue (adore the Bryan Ferry version)

One More Cup of Coffee

You Belong to Me (always brings a tear)

Just Like a Woman

Covenant WEoman

Simple Twist of Fate

What Can I Do For you?


Oh heck, did I have to pick just one? Can't do that. I don't rate him as a singer though and his gigs are very dull.

giggirl - sometimes you just have to pick whatever is today's fave ! And yeah I agree his gigs are worse than watching paint dry, nearer LISTENIN to paint dry in fact. Been to a few and just not worth it for me.

So let's concentrate on his songs as it's a more positive experience !!


Been playing some today and today my fave is 'Obviously 5 Believers', if ever a guy got the blues and did something with it in his own way it was Zimmy.

    • Another shout out for Milk & More - their app allows you to alter the order, add or subtract to it and also to schedule holiday stops without having to leave messages in bottle - so more secure. You do have to set up a direct debit with them, but I haven't had any problems with that myself. I have had one or two missed or late deliveries in several years, but not really a problem - only very occasional and caused mainly by delivery-person illness. And very much feels like an old-fashioned milk delivery. They do special seasonal offers as well. More expensive than the cheapest of the super market milk prices, but for that its at your door, fresh and no bother.
    • Enjoying the nostalgia and memories.  As with others, we get ours through Milk and More (is part of big co, so there is that against it, but it's hardly a secret/niche thing) - returnable glass bottles of milk, orange juice, yoghurt, and much more besides (as per the name). And yes it comes in the middle of the night in an electric vehicle. So can still get out nostalgia fix, doubled when the Riverford chap comes too. 
    • This sounds like what goes on at Tessa Jowell GP surgery as well as others.   If you can flag yourself up as a ‘vulnerable’ patient or one that can’t use Apps for whatever reason etc then you can usually make appts by phone. They would have to make allowances. Quote the Equality Act 2010,  reasonable adjustments section.
    • Its part of a change all Doctor surgery's are undergoing.  The goverment want to stop the 8am scramble for an appointment, and its not just restricted to the Gardens. Sadly, it does impact some who are not digitally savy.
