i changed my browser

 to firefox.  it's not perfect but it's a lot better than chrome atm.  chrome has been fraught with bugs lately which is a shame coz i really like it.  so far (fingers crossed)  firefox is ok.  and the best part is that i can now comment on blogs without any problems.  :)


 a few random pics of bali. 

scarborough fair

my son and his friend Trav.  one day i might be able to play like this.  one day

coffee

hello, i haven't posted for ages i'm afraid.  i've been having a bit of trouble with google and my account.  i haven't been able to comment on anyone's post either which is annoying, so please forgive me for my lack of presence lately.  not a lot has happened really, things are much the same.  i am rather excited as tomorrow Maz is coming over and she's giving me her old coffee machine.  it's a really good one and i'm a little bit in awe of it as i've watched youtube for instructions and it's quite complex.  it grinds the beans.  amazing.  i hope it goes well.  i bought some coffee beans in anticipation.  as you know, i just love my coffee.  my son and dil recently bought a machine and when i go over my son makes me a very nice cappuccino.  my dil who is a tea drinker has been having at least two coffees a day.  :)  they go to the market and get special blends.  the last one was vanilla which was delish.  i didn't think it would be but i enjoyed it.    i went to another ukulele workshop again and can now play two new chords and three and a half songs.  happy birthday, twinkle twinkle and half of you are my sunshine.  i can also play the first two lines of hallelujah.  my son on the other is brilliant with it.  he and his friend on the banjo did a version of scarborough fair which was really good.  i wish i could embed it for you to hear.  it's freezing here.  really, really cold.  i'm looking forward to spring.  :)
