I've been off the forum for some time. trying to make up for it by doing a bit of posting.
No job. Just studying at the moment. Feeling triumphant because I managed to politely decline an invite to celebrate Xmas. That day and I do not mix. Also. News.
I have a new cat. Many of you already know I had Nim. The pink hairy diva went to the afterlife to be with Mum and other cats and dogs

Hey @Gazza75 Glad you like the pics. She's not a fan of the camera but I can always sneak a pic in if fast enough.
I am teaching myself how to play with one hand. Can't play with both lol!
TBH, I prefer singing I'm learning how to sing again with only half of my stomach 😄

@LadyleahRDBloom, good on you 🙂
I've tried to learn guitar and uke over the years, but, never got very far. I have little or no musical ability, but, always admire the talent that others have in that area.
Do you have a favourite type of music or band/person you like to sing?

You're brave @Gazza75 I had to study guitar for music class lol, loathed it. Really really hard.
I love opera but I also really love metal, musicals and ballads. Anything that speaks to me.

Foolish might be more apt @LadyleahRDBloom .. i wanted to try and learn fingerpicking and acoustic stuff, turns out that's harder than electric ughghg 🙂
You have a wide range of musical tastes. I think that's great as your not limiting yourself to one particular style 🙂

Aloha @Gazza75 I was meant to go swimming the other day with support worker but she was feeling sick (ladies troubles) so we went for a walk on the beach instead. It was very relaxing :).

Hey @Bunniekins , hope she is feeling better soon and that you get to take a dip. Walk on the beach is a good alternative, I miss doing that. I used to basically go every day, i'd look for fresh cuttlefish for parents birdies.
