Dylan is fascinating
me at the moment. Obviously I'm very late coming to him, but the quality of his
songs and his seeming ability to pluck them out of the air is incredible. I'm
approaching him chronologically, and am up to Highway '61 Revisited at the moment,
so there are decades more to come. I've added a few of his songs to our evening
repertoire too. Freddie likes The Girl From The North Country, Libby likes
Don't Think Twice It's Alright.
Particular favourite
songs at the moment for Libby are Emily Barker's Blackbird (still), The Pogues'
'Rainy Night in Soho' and 'I'm a Man you don’t meet every day', Madness' 'The
Sun and the Rain. She's pretty much word perfect on all of them, certainly on
the choruses which she belts out.
Bibs is really close
to talking now - he can just about manage 'mummy', 'daddy and 'geggy' which
cover everything interchangeably. He understands a lot though 'coat', 'bath', 'Freddie', 'Libby' etc. He
really enjoys FaceTime on the phone too, so we're speaking to the Sawyer family
a lot at the moment. Freddie has started cubs, with me helping out there. We're
both really enjoying it, although that may change after this week, as they are
going for their home help badge - ironing, sewing and window cleaning. . . .
