Aunty's currently playing - and playing, and playing, and playing - a new record (I will not refer to them as CDs, even if they are). 1980s electro-pop. And it is glorious.
A little known etymological fact: the word "nonchalant", of French origin, was not integrated in to the English language until 1981, when music-journalists needed an adjective to describe the faces of the audience members in the TOTP studio.
When I am Queen of The World, this will become a fact.
Imagine: some of you are too young to know what I mean. Some of you are too young to know what TOTP stands for. Good for you.
Another useful acronym: Omo. It was a brand of washing powder, which "adds brightness to whiteness". Women - allegedly, I couldn't possibly comment - used to put the box of washing powder on their window ledge, as a secret code to alert their boyfriends that their husbands were not at home. Omo = Old Man's Out.
Knowledge, eh. Aunty's full of it. Even if some of it is completely made up.
Have a splendid day, darlings. It is, after all, DECEMBER! The decorations are up, the mulled wine has been opened, the Christmas crooners CD has been played. Let the lushing begin!
love as ever
Aunty
