Entertain me! (the twisted & disturbing are welcome)
Well, it was posted on Lisa’s (Mrs UT) Instagram account last night, (she has two, lisarippon_art & lisaripponfineart_gallery) & as you follow her Cookie, it was probably there.

tea
English Breakfast is just a blend of Black Teas. It was blended to be refreshing as a morning brew. You can also get an English Afternoon Tea blend which is not so ‘perky’. We drink English Breakfast all the time but if you want something similar, b…

I have no idea why that last pic says “LuDux Said:” on it.I was trying to post “Have you ever wondered what Alison would look like if she was depicted as a Scarecrow? Well wonder no more!”We had a Scarecrow Hunt in our village as part of our Coronat…

Social websites
I joined Mastodon a couple of months ago, when it looked like the Elon owned Twitter was going to implode.If you are a regular Twitter user, then Mastodon is like walking in a quiet, leafy garden. I recently joined FaceBook, reluctantly, but there w…

tea
Here at Chey UT, we only use teabags for our getting up/still in bed cuppa as that early, our taste buds haven’t kicked in, but all other cuppas are made using leaf tea & a stainless steel pot. Lisa and I usually have two cups each from a full p…

tea
Lisa used to drink it black but she has problems with kidney stones, which tea can contribute to, & was advised by the dietician that taking it with a little milk can help offset that problem, (& increasing her fluid intake per day overall) …

Alison's Solo Material (and TikTok)
It sounds like a dance remix of a Goldfrapp song. According to a Facebook video update by herself, Alison says today's release of 'Digging Deeper' is "a version of a track that I will be releasing soon" which implies that…

Alison's Solo Material (and TikTok)
Maybe this new Solo sojourn was needed to cleanse her palette, so to speak, say an amuse-bouchée or a sorbet course before coming back with another Goldfrapp album with Will? I’m sure they signed a new 3 album deal after ‘Head First’ & we also k…

Merry Christmas
Wow. I thought for a minute I had forgotten how to post photos on this hellsite! Happy Christmas to those still here who keep the Goldfrapp home fires burning. This is the latest painting by Lisa from her ‘Nursery Rhymes Stripped Bare’ series turned…

Album 8
Last I read about her and Will she did say they had been collaborating with some early ideas. I think we will get another GF album but a solo collaborating with others is a big possibility too.

That all sounded a bit negative but have to call it as it is.Hopefully an ‘amuse-bouche’ prior to more significant courses.

However nice it is to hear Alison’s vocals, having been starved of it so much, this track doesn’t extend her at all & is not as good as Impossible. Mostly hidden behind a vocoder, nothing soaring like the previous track. Just feels like a filler…

Album 8
As far as I am aware, they are currently committed to a deal for at least 3 albums when they resigned after Head First, so TOU & Silver Eye were 1 & 2, so I don’t think it’s a deal issue unless they are renegotiating. I’m expecting something…

What are you reading?
Modern Money Theory doesn’t advocate not taking taxes. In fact, it identifies that taxes are critical to taking money out of the system & it’s important in the redistribution of wealth & preventing the incredibly rich monopolising resources.…

All About Will
Everytime we’ve met him, he’s always made time to have a chat. No pretences with him, just an all round nice guy.

What are you watching?
I don’t know how late we are to this party, as it’s already on season 4, but we’ve started watching Stranger Things from the start. Don’t normally watch things with child actors in it (we don’t have any kids ourselves) but this is very watchable as …
