I like having cream with some drinks (my coffee, hot chocolate, or chai) but I don't drink enough of those to keep cream around all the time.

I've tried powdered cream and it's "OK", though not as good as the fresh stuff.

I'm wondering if other people have this problem and what they do about it?

"Brother Louie" is a song by British #soul band #HotChocolate. Written by members #ErrolBrown and #TonyWilson and produced by #MickieMost, the song discusses an interracial love affair between a white man and a black woman, and the subsequent rejection of both by their parents because of it. Upon its release as a single, "Brother #Louie" peaked at number 7 on the #UKSinglesChart in 1973. #AlexisKorner has a spoken word part in this version of the song.

I was listening to the radio yesterday evening and I'm starting to wonder if the most important emotional music of my teenage years wasn't the tracks I assumed (Floyd, Elton, Eagles, Prelude, Simon & Garfunkel) but rather the music of Hot Chocolate - Emma, Brother Louie*, You Sexy Thing & It Started with a Kiss.
These tracks really hit a chord with me still.

*I had a West Indian girlfriend and although my parents were tolerant I don't think there was acceptance. Nothing like the lyrics, but relatable.

"Things That Move Us" on Friday Night Jukebox for 7 Feb, and this is a track that moves any part of your body that is still alive –

Hot Chocolate, "Every 1's a Winner" (1978)

Didn't go as far as "You Sexy Thing" but goddamn,
"Everyone's a winner, baby, that's no lie
You never fail to satisfy
Let's do it again …"

Go and get your groove on.

#20252025Challenge
I didn't really know what to do today, so thought I'd do another experiment with some of the brushes in Clip Studio. Over the weekend I had this really nice mint hot chocolate in Ironbridge, so thought I'd draw that out. The time lapse of this one is interesting, for sure.

- Use the hashtag #20252025Challenge on social media etc to track your progress
- Also use the hashtag to cheer on others.

That’s about it!

Have fun with your activities, whatever they may be!

The Pie Hole is serving both of their hot chocolate festival flavors so we got one of each. They're both fantastic. The pink one is very reminiscent of fruit loops and sweet cereal milk. The brown one is a salted caramel. Both are perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth.

I've never been to The Pie Hole before. Their pie displays are super tempting. I'm sure I'll be back.
