While Anna, Tessa & I were at dinner Fri night, Anna was googling karaoke songs for us. When she said 'Africa' by Toto, without missing a beat Tessa was like "That's the one". We all agreed it was the perfect choice.
We made our way to a karaoke bar called 'Blutes' where 'Team Jill' was added to the song queue. Whilst we were waiting and listening to others sing, we had a couple of drinks and of course another cheers to chill. Nothing like liquid courage.
I also love how wherever I go or whatever I'm doing I capture little glimpses of Jill or see something that triggers a Jill memory. Right above where we were sitting was the below 'Chinney Chinney Bang Bang!' wall. A wall of Polaroids of people taking double chin photos.
I immediately thought of Jill and shared with Anna & Tessa how Jill and I took a bad chin photo many many years ago. I've always hated the photo because well it's intentionally awful and I don't think I ever showed it before. But for whatever reasons I always kept it and now I show it proudly. So, it only seemed right that I should get a picture of it against the wall 🤣
Now came time for 'Team Jill' to make their singing debut. 'Africa' is not the easiest of songs to sing and none of are great singers, but we did our best and the crowd got behind us too, although this may have been more out of pity than anything else. But the song is an absolute banger and although we all know the song, you sometimes don't take in the words until they are in front of your face and the lyrics "Gonna take some time to do the things we never had" seemed very appropriate.
