This is a light-hearted departure from my normal musings and a much needed injection of fun into a rather weary time for me.

I read other blogs as and when I see posts flagged up on Twitter or if I happen to be browsing – I’m not a particularly reliable follower… Two posts have recently caught my eye and made me smile, so thank you to Nickie at Typecast for the following idea.

The task is simply to put your iTunes (or similar) library on shuffle and see what it spits out, placing the songs as they appear under the following headings. No cheating, no manipulating – just a giggle and many a wry smile.
