Tina Turner (born Anna Mae Bullock; November 26, 1939 – May 24, 2023) was a singer, songwriter, actress, and author. As a rock icon, her vocal prowess, raspy vocal delivery, electrifying stage presence, live performance record and breaking the color barrier as an artist in rock helped her to be dubbed the "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll". Turner rose to prominence as the lead singer of the husband-wife duo Ike & Tina Turner. Their tumultuous marriage led to a divorce and disbanding in 1976, and she embarked on a successful solo career, becoming one of the best-selling recording artists of all time, with estimated sales of 100 to 150 million records worldwide.

In 1984, Tina launched "one of the greatest comebacks in music history", with her multi-platinum album Private Dancer. Its single "What's Love Got to Do with It" won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year and became her only number-one song on the Billboard Hot 100. Turner's chart worldwide success continued with "Let's Stay Together", "Better Be Good to Me", "Private Dancer", "We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)", "It's Only Love", "Typical Male", "The Best", "I Don't Wanna Lose You", "I Don't Wanna Fight", and "GoldenEye". Her Break Every Rule World Tour (1987–1988) became the highest-grossing female tour of the 1980s and set a Guinness World Record for the then-largest paying audience in a concert (180,000).


And I wonder which one of those songs is now playing in your head? For me, there's a medley, but I think We Don't Need Another Hero is the loudest :-)

Good morning, Trissie, and thank you for starting us off. As soon as I read Tina Turner, "You're simply the best" started playing in my head :lol: .

WTG with your progress with the government site, Dogged. I think these "official " sites are often deliberately designed to test our sanity. Our local council's website has a notice saying it may not work properly for users of Chrome, and to use something else :x .Why do t they just make it compatible with Chrome? It's fairly widely used after all!

Bama, I can't tell the difference in taste between Prosecco and Nosecco,.and it certainly looks convincing. Many stores do their "own version", but we are having the "genuine article" because a) I am lazy and it's what Waitrose stocks so I can just add it to my order and have it delivered, and b)Waitrose have it on almost permanent special offer, so that , together with the money off voucher I had, brought the price down to well below that if even the Discount stores! :D

L.Ann, I think you could be right, although DF CW wanted to make sure it wasn't an after effects of eating a dead mouse that was "off" or something similar!!!

Helian, I'm glad your DH is back safely. I hope you have a good night's sleep and feel refreshed today.

Laura, I'm sure helping your DDad with his garden meant a lot go him, and has given him peace of mind.

Today, DH is WFH, I need to do something in my back garden, have a walk before it gets too hot, and clean downstairs. DF HT will be dropping by sometime this afternoon, to drop off a potted rose I'll be looking after for them while they're on holiday. It doesn't matter if the sitting room is upside down when she comes, as the forecast is for a lovely sunny day, so we can have a cup of tea in the garden. As she's allergic to cats, this will be a win-win situation! :D

Having lunch with DH, after a very productive morning in the garden. Housework this afternoon, and DF HT is coming round at some point to drop off a rose I'm babysitting for them while she and her DH are away. As she's not given a time and the sitting room is likely to be in turmoil, we can have a cup of tea in the garden - the patio furniture is set up already! :D

For me, trissie, it's What's Love Got to Do with it. :D
Ha ha, Doggedly!
Kitty, I hope you had a nice walk in the sunshine. Tea in your garden sounds lovely! And thank you. I slept well last night and am feeling refreshed this morning.

The last 4 days were largely going straight from one thing to another all day and into the evening, specifically until 9:30 pm on Saturday and Sunday. I did take a couple hours Sunday afternoon to relax -- but paid for that yesterday. I'm hoping the pace of the todos is slower today; I think it will be.

Last night, dh gave me the general scoop on all the nieces and nephews. (There are 16; our kids make 19 cousins in that generation, ages 7 - 35. Many are doing quite well; some are struggling in different ways.)

Today, I hope to accomplish the goals listed below! Officially on my calendar: the KSJ get together this morning and hosting Tuesday dinner this evening. Dh is the main chef tonight, and he ordered food yesterday and is planning on making the sides as well as the main to take things off my plate. I really appreciate that! I will still help him, of course, but that gives me the entire afternoon to do other things.

Main Goals for Today:
1. Quick - last go through of R exams __ __ __ __
1. Visit Mom
2. KSJ get together 10-12-ish
3. JOG
4. Phone call re: med transport for Mom
5. Host Tuesday dinner for 6 or 7

Next:
- payroll: review exams
- s2s and self care
- back exercises

Later:
- empty dw
- make the bed
- some qt
- visit Mom
- KSJ get together
- lunch
- Walgreens: chap stick for Mom
- jog
- lol 1: w d f pa
- lol 2: w d f pa
- clean sheets on the bed?
- s/s main bathroom
- tidy living areas
- call re: med transport
- anything from brain dump list?
- update goodreads?
- payroll: post new vocab on the exam
- payroll: print out final exam
- help prepare to host dinner
- 6:30 - ? host Tuesday dinner
- after dinner clean up
- duo
- update health apps

TaDas!
