Melanie's Mostly Writing

Today I signed up for Apple Music on my phone and had great fun downloading all my favourite songs from years gone by. A mix of EDM and K-pop was mostly what I chose. I know many people get their music for free these days and don’t want to pay big companies like Amazon or Apple but bands, and indeed authors too, need to be paid for their work. I pay for my books on my kindle because I hope, someday, someone might buy my books.

Thinking of music, the soundtrack to Stranger Things season 5 is excellent. We watched the first episode today. No spoilers. I’ll just say sooo much happened. If you’ve never watched it you should give it a go, especially if you grew up in the 80s like me. It will make you very nostalgic.

    A few weeks ago, before the previous teachers left, we went to Outback Steakhouse for lunch together. I ordered chicken salad. The seasoning was off as the chicken was too salty. The thing that I couldn’t get over though was how sweet the cheese soup was. The bread and butter were sweet too. I have…

  • Of Retro and Remembering

    Today we had Retro Day at the school. I didn’t have any clothes from the past but I found a worn baseball cap, from San Francisco, that looked vintage. The kids dressed up. There was a photo zone and fashion parade. We made dalgona candy and ddakji, which people may know of now, due to…
