Well, I’ve just passed the halfway point in my challenge to write 30 posts in 30 days, and although my neck and shoulder injury seems to have righted itself, I am starting to flag a little. Should I keep going I wonder, or just content myself with having kept up the pace for as long as I have?

I am acutely aware that all you lovely followers might be finding it rather tedious having so much thrown at them in a single month, but I do still have a few more ideas up my sleeve. Feedback is positively encouraged as I don’t want to lose people along the way.
Anyway, I’m happy either way, so should it be a Stop…
… or a Don’t Stop?
I was totally the wrong demographic for the phenomenon that was the Spice Girls in the mid ’90s, but they were omnipresent, so you just couldn’t avoid their catchy pop tunes – There are a fair few I’ll admit to still being quite fond of. That was unbelievably nearly 25 years ago now, when DD was just a tot. Where has the time gone?

The Rumours album was a Christmas gift from the school boyfriend in 1977. Sadly it was in cassette tape format, so didn’t stand up well to the wear and tear of being played so often in the subsequent months – Remember having to rewind the tape back into the casing manually, after it got scrunched up the machine?
Considering the many relationship breakdowns that happened within Fleetwood Mac before recording started, it’s quite something the album ever got made at all, but it did, and became one of the best-sellers of all time. Certainly plenty of material there to shape the song-writing.

Don’t Stop Lyrics
(Song by Christine McVie)
If you wake up and don’t want to smile
If it takes just a little while
Open your eyes and look at the day
You’ll see things in a different way
Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow
Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here
It’ll be here better than before
Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone
Why not think about times to come?
And not about the things that you’ve done?
If your life was bad to you
Just think what tomorrow will do
Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow
Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here
It’ll be here better than before
Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone
All I want is to see you smile
If it takes just a little while
I know you don’t believe that it’s true
I never meant any harm to you
Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow
Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here
It’ll be here better than before
Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone
I would choose the Fleetwood Mac song over The Spice Girls, as well as the sentiment behind the title. If you decide on “Don’t Stop,” follow your own rules and Go Your Own Way (sorry, I couldn’t resist).

Ah yes, very good. Wonder if that one just came to you as you were typing or if it was thought out first! Yes, I feel I’m being tedious now so will carry on but maybe not post so regularly. I’ve done four months of blogging in a fortnight so still a record.

As a fan of “Rumours” and the title track of “Tusk”, I would vote for Don’t Stop.

Didn’t see you as being a Spice Girls fan!
Thanks for visiting so many of the posts in this challenge but I think I’m perhaps overloading people now. Will try and calm things down a bit.

I have music by both bands in my collection, which doesn’t help, eh? I am thoroughly enjoying (and am hugely impressed by) your November output. So if you have the means and the motive, don’t stop!

Didn’t see you as being a Spice Girls fan either but you too have daughters so I expect it was unavoidable having them in your collection.
Thanks for the kind words re my challenge – I’m not finding the writing/posting too bad actually as not a lot else going on for me at the moment bar my course (and the odd guest at the holiday hideaway). I am thinking regular followers might be finding it all too much though and I might be ‘dropped’. Hope not.

Don’t stop. I’m catching up slowly. Bit busy with the imminent move, but still here.

I don’t think my style of blogging suits this level of output. Thanks for sticking with it and good luck with the upcoming move.
