My word this week is ‘Kate Bush’ and you can read more about that below.
I’m not totally strict on using just a word or phrase. But please try to stick to the theme of summing up your week. There are not too many rules with this linky, just remember to read at least another couple of posts in the link up after adding your link.

MY WORD OF THE WEEK – Kate Bush
So Much going on this week but I haven’t stopped listening to Kate Bush whenever I get the chance. I’ve been transported back to my teens, so I have chosen Kate Bush as my Word this week.
I’ll keep it brief but when I first heard Wuthering Heights I hated it, and I was frustrated that she kept Blondie off the number one spot! But a month or so later and I had heard the entire ‘The Kick Inside’ album at my Sister-in-law’s Mums house (it belonged to her sister) and I loved it. I have since bought every album she has made and many of her singles. I was a member of her fan club for many years and had the fantastic opportunity of meeting her when I was 16 and she signed my ‘The Dreaming’ album for me.
This week Boo told me her friend at school had told her to listen to this ‘new’ song, ‘Running up That Hill’ by Kate Bush. She loved it. Then she got lots of promotion on her tablet for Stranger Things, so she has started watching it from the beginning. I didn’t let her watch it with me first time around because she was a bit young. But I’m hoping she’ll catch up and we can watch series 4.2 together.
I love that Kate Bush is back in the charts, she’s amazing.
I had a fabulous night out this week with my other Sister-in-law where we went to see ‘Singin’ in the Rain.’ It was even better than I imagined it would be and you can read all about it here.
In other news it’s been a horrible week for Joseph at school and I’m not sure I’m ever going to send him back. But that’s another story.
For now, I’m putting my headphones on and listening to a bit more Kate Bush.
Now it’s over to you, what word or phrase sums up your week this week?
I have never really been a Kate Bush fan but I do like that song Running up That Hill and even more so thanks to Stranger Things. My girls thought it was a new song too. lol and they have just told me it’s number 2 in the singles charts which really makes me smile.
Poor Joseph! It sounds like a rotten week for him. I hope things are sorted at school soon. x
Not a fan myself but I do find it amusing when today’s young people “discover” an artist that has been around for decades! Does ’em good to listen to “proper” music 😀
So sorry that Joseph has had a rotten week, hopefully things improve one way or another for him.
I love that Kate Bush is back in the charts. ‘The Kick Inside is such a great album. Glad you had a nice time at Singing in the Rain. So sorry that Joseph is having such a horrendous time at school though. I don’t blame you for not wanting to send him back again. They sound like they’ve been awful at handling everything. Hope that you can manage to find a better school for him. #WotW
I’m so glad you’ve been able to enjoy Kate Bush’s music especially with the difficulties Joseph’s facing at school. I really hope the horrible situation gets sorted out soon.
Aw yes Kate Bush is all over social media right now, she does have an amazing voice X #mmbc
