Boom, boom, what a racket!! This week has been noisy here at Muleteer HQ. Our FH is a little on the loud side. This week we have a particularly eclectic mix of music, FH is obviously having an entertaining week..... we can normally tell the mood she's in by the music that is inflicted upon our poor ears, at least mine are short and have a lovely covering of fluff to act as ear plugs but the mules' ears are big and soak up all that noise. Mind you they make enough noise of their own.....FH wakes us up before it gets light with the radio and then it's on while she tidies us up, we leg it up the field away from the pounding bass. We're then allowed some peace while FH goes to her day job, apparently MH says she has managed to blow up two stereos in her previous cars, the current one is working just fine (we can tell by the racket that accompanies the arrival home of FH) but MH despairs, when the stereo is broken it's time to replace the car, forget the engine hey FH?
The evening then continues often with FH's mobile noise box thing that has all manner of tunes blaring out, depending on the mood this can be soft soul music to raucous heavy metal. MH is much more cultured and plays proper instruments and listens to nice music, we wish he would sort out the racket sometimes, we think he might be glad that FH inflicts the noise on us not him????
Apparently this noise is beneficial, FH says that the combination of us muleteers and the tuneful (??!!) noise is the perfect way to relax after a busy day. If it keeps her happy guess it's alright? I think I might understand a little more after reading this quote :-)
Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

In case you'd like to share our pain, FH has mainly been listening to....
Animal - Pearl Jam (this is ok as the lyrics say FH would rather spend time with an animal....true!)
Cowboy Take Me Away - Dixie Chicks (Dragon likes this, she'd like a handsome cowboy too)
Fast Fuse - Kasabian (errmmm saying nothing FH.....)
I Need You - Faith Hill and Tim McGraw (that name is familiar?)
I've Got This Friend - Civil Wars (a tuneful song that I like but don't tell anyone)
Lose Yourself - Eminem (some rude words, makes me blush)
No Light, No Light - Florence and the Machine (sounds like Diesel when she's hungry)
Teardrop - Massive Attack (FH reliving her misspent youth?)
Pony - The Waifs (my favourite, a song all about ME!)
Shadows - Gordon Lightfoot (for all our Canadian friends, a big fave of Granny Human)
Nothing Else Matters - Metallica (FH's even worse misspent youth, black hair did not suit....)
What's your favourite tune muleteers? This weekend find something that cheers you up and play it full blast - share it with the neighbours - even if it's only the dog ;-)
