Yellow… Gold, what’s the difference?!

We don’t have a whole lot of yellow at out place… so I thought I’d show you some GOLD!

The neighbours have had to listen this baby blasting through the trees for the last week or so!

I learnt the saxaphone from year 3 to year 7, but if I think about it, that was just over a decade ago! Luke has always pretty keen for me to play msuic with him, even though I don’t know an instrument, so I finally sucummed tore-learning the saxaphone. My brother Amon has been playing it, which is good, because it’s all in working order etc.

Luke and I jammed a little bit over the weekend, and basically, I suck! I can never remember what notes come next in the little jammy things we do. I seriously just need to read the music (and remember where all the fingering is)!

One thing that’s really interesting though is how quickly it all comes back to you. I did a bit of a refresher on the weekend and I remembered pretty easily the fingering for the different notes. Don’t tell Luke, but I am reasonably excited about playing this instrument again. For me (it’s always been like this) practicing is my weakness, but maybe with Luke it will be different?

Do you have anything yellow at your place so that you can play along?

Do you play an instrument? Tell me your story!

On My Keyring

I’ll interrupt the wedding series for this week’s My Place and Yours post!

My keyring

This is my keyring. I have equal number of keys and pretty things on there, which annoys my husband to no end. Particuarly when he has to use them. Complaints range from”To pink” or “To cluttered” to, “It touches my leg while I drive” or “It doesn’t fit in my pocket“. To this I say, “Poo Poo!“  because we have TWO sets of car keys, and if he could very well just cary around his own car key by itself.

Come and play over at Hello Owl...

Pepper Carbis, on the couch, with the computer

WOW, Monday already! That came WAY too quickly! Does anyone else feel like this whole YEAR is blazing by, quick as anything?! It’s nearly mid April for goodness sake!

Our theme this week over at Hello Owl’s My Place and Yours is “Where do you blog”. My answer is- on the couch! Yep, kinda not very ergonomic, organised, inspiring or comfortable- BUT it’s where it gets done! In fact, this is where most things on the computer get done!

I like having my special girl next to me when I’m blogging or browsing the inter-webs. She is so cute when curled into a tight little ball!

Some of these girls on My Place and Yours this week put me to shame BIG TIME! They are so organised!! How on earth people STAY organised is beyond me. I am quickly scrambled as soon as I do something…

Also, my big news to tell you is that I’ve reached over 100 fans on facebook, so I’m doing a special double giveaway!! Yay!! I THINK I’ve decided that I’ll giveaway 2 bags (details to come), which I will make, BUT I think I’d like to make it before I start the giveaway… so stay tuned for that one in the next week or so. P.S If you like this blog, and you’re not already a facebook fan, then pop on over and make my day.

P.S The giveaway is bags, because, as far as I can tell (from comments and the survey I did), my husband is the only male who reads this… :-S If you’re male, and you read this, let me know, and I will make a special giveaway item in case you win!!
