This & That



Weeks ago I mentioned I was wearing socks with thongs, and then this week, this ad popped up in my feed. Archies (those ever so fabulous arch support thongs) are making socks to wear with the Archies so you can wear them all year round. So who's an incredibly fashon foward trend setter? Me! (At least in the low brow trends you may not want to get on board with stakes. I'm like Valtteri Bottas's mullet. At first you all laugh but then you actually like it....)










Now here's a birthday song for #MondayMusicMoves me. (Here's a clip on behind the lyrics if you're interested). I know you said you like 80's-90's but there's some great new ones. And this is my fave.


And as I was at Lizzo on Sunday, we sang this to people in the crowd whose birthday it was. (Not swears, not suitable for work)




Linking with #DND #WordlessWednesday #KeithsRamblings #WWOT #WWOAT #AwwMondays because I did say Aww excitedly when I came to the stairs to descend and saw the bird! #SundayBest #GardenAffair #FloralFridayFoto #WildbirdWednesday  #SaturdayCritters

  2. Socks and Crocs are a real source of debate here - some love them - most dont. We have both camps in my family! Hope all is well. SM

  3. Lydia,

    I like the vibe of the first song. It feels Caribbean-like and has a good feeling to it. Thanks for the introduction of both songs and for joining the 4M party, darlin'. Have a boogietastic week! ;)

  4. I used to wear flip flops (what I think you are calling thongs) when I was younger - no longer. Never with socks. I didn't know either song today and especially enjoyed the reggae vibe of the new song. Alana ramblinwitham

  5. My daughter has given me some very supportive flip flops. Not sure if they are Archies, though. I finally had a pedicure yesterday after over a year without one, so my toes might almost be presentable for thong-wearing. But had never considered wearing socks with my flip flops. Hmmm, then I could avoid the whole pedicure expense!!

  6. Hello, Lydia
    I am sure my feet would not feel comfy wearing socks with flip flops. Thanks for sharing the songs. I love the Rainbow Lorikeet, it is a beautiful bird. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.

  12. A beautiful bird and I like the lily too. The thing with the socks and flip-flops would not be my cup of tea. I like the reggae song. Does the singer's hair actually move or does it just seem that way to me? Looks cool. Kind regards and thanks for the link to Nature Thursday – Elke
