Luck and superstitions

I don't think I'm a very superstitious person but my grandmother was. When I was a boy I remember I could never open an umbrella in her house as she thought it would bring bad luck. She also used to tell me I had to say 'white rabbit' when I woke up on the first day of every month - I often did looking back. She used to rub her money plant (a plant common in England) before she went to play Bingo as she believed this would bring her good luck. There's a long list of things she used to do........

Are you superstitious? Do you believe in luck? Do you know anyone who is superstitious?

long weekend

Dear all,

Sorry, there's no new subject this week but I would like to know what you're all up to this long weekend. I'm going to relax and enjoy the sunny weather after all this rain we've been having!

Enjoy

Music

Every week I download a few tracks from Itunes and transfer them to my ipod. I love to listen to music when I'm in the mood, which is any time when I don't need to concentrate (I can't listen to music while I'm reading for example). My taste in music is pretty varied too and you would just have to look at what music is on my ipod to realize that! I'm an eighties boy and music from the eighties features a lot - Alison Moyet, Howard Jones, Kraftwerk to name just a few. Nowadays I download a lot of electronic music and Brazilian music too. Celso Fonseca and Zuco 103 - does anyone like them? Oh, and I have a lot of classical music too. I used to go to bed with classical music playing in the background but I haven't done that for a long time :)

Anyway, what role does music play in your life? What are your favourites?
