Yesterday, I attended the memorial service for a friend who died a couple of months ago. After the service concluded, we all went outside to watch as his closer friends and family sprinkled some of his ashes on the cricket field where he had often played.
The container for the ashes was a rather plastic-y looking tube. After all the ashes had been sprinkled, as we all trudged back to the hall to get our tea and sarnies, I quietly observed to a friend that for some reason I suddenly had the (slightly insane) Shake'n'Vac song from the tv ad in the early 80s ringing in my ears.
Since then, the same bloody jingle has been going through my head pretty much non-stop. It is very, very annoying. I even woke up with it jangling away between my ears. Sleep hadn't killed off the worm.
I think I will have to break out my Abba Gold CD and play that as a matter of urgency. If those catchy tunes can't shift it, nothing will.
