Hey there,
The rain has finally stayed away for more than ten days, so we are trying to build the Chook Palace for Morgan & Miss Daisy Fowler.

Aloha, until next time,
Gumbootsgirl.

Hey there,
Not up to much lately ~
Brian has been very busy between showers putting up an awning on the
west side of our house.
We have new chookies named Miss Daisy & Morgan Fowler.
Until next time,
Gumbootsgirl.
Many interpretations of the significance of the Mayan calendar are related to the end of the world; 23rd September 2012 in the Year of the Dragon.
No time for depression if life is for living.
Please forgive the notes that I didn’t quite hit when recording this.
This is my adaptation for ukulele of the Billy Field song ~
“You Weren’t In Love With Me”
In my perspective, the original is much slower than the Tim Freedman cover.
Mid January 2012,
The year of the dragon is upon us and the end of the Mayan calendar is nigh.
Mother Shipton’s Prophecy (15th century) says ~
“The Dragon’s tail is but a sign, of mankinds’ fall and man’s decline.”
Fredo has come home to stay.
It’s raining at present and the garden is starting to flourish.
I have been working on the Ukulele chords for the Billy Field song:
“You Weren’t in Love With Me”.
which will be posted in the next week or so ~ it is such a lovely melody,
even if the lyrics are a little tragic.
This year I hope to attach an audio component to the poetry herein, & maybe I will also attach audio to the ukulele songs listed, maybe not ~ I’d hate to over commit as one of my favourite sayings is a George Zaluki quotation; “COMMITMENT is ~ doing the thing that you said you would do, long after the mood that you said it in has left you.” or words to that conclusion.
I have a new Les Paul Mahalo with aquila nylgut strings, & it such a pleasure to play.
GUSSIED UP AN OLD “MERCURY”
& I have almost completed my “Arnott’s Biscuit” cross-stitch.
May my hands never be idle, nor my mind be infertile.
signing off until next time

Who’s got a clever & thoughtful husband?
ME!
He built a new carport before Christmas even.
With a couple of days to spare.
December 2011.
ALOHA, G’DAY & WELCOME
I’m quite surprised by the amount of attention my site has received during the first month, and grateful to everyone for their support, and/or advice.
I’m not really doing this for fame or fortune – the thought of the responsibility that goes with either actually frightens me.
In 1999 I published my first book, “It’s Just A Matter Of Perspective”, and I enjoyed fighting my demons with words or actions while writing, and/or peforming poetry and stand-up comedy; sharing my perspectives helped validate my grievances with Life in general. I only hope that some-one else may benefit from these insights, and if that doesn’t do it for you, then I suggest playing the Ukulele in communion with others, or meditation through art.
All of the above work for me, and when Life chucks a googlie I may have to find a way to combine them all. But until then, I’ll just have to keep up the practise.
Aloha, peace & happiness,
The Wa-wa-hini of Dingo Ridge
&
Goddess of the Misunderstood.
