As I noted on Twitter, I&#8217;m still in denial about Bowie, so having His Purple Majesty go too is an extra sad time.

The bus was part of a parade for Phil Collins, but the only spectators in the crowd were sunbathing goths. In the moment of the dream the sandal-shaped bus and the Phil Collins parade seemed completely reasonable, but I couldn\u2019t understand why the goths were sunbathing- surely the last thing they would want would be tanned skin?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BD_OXC4RYxX\/\">Cereal bigamist (Requested by @londonelek)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BD8ahb9RY2d\/\">Tourism<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BD6Oqg3xY3d\/\">Canned canal<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BD32MAMRY_a\/\">Deodo-rant<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BD1WebERY1P\/\">Advice slip<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BDytLNlxY4Y\/\">Tyrant<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BDv5JxnxY6V\/\">Hummus-vee (and crudit\u00e9s cannon)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BDtTRINRY0d\/\">Concentrated orange juice<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What a scattered month!
