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. Now I have an Ewok Sith dark brown Diva. a Norwegian forest cat called Ursula is Karma and now, please be standing for her introduction ... standing and enthusiastic for she is a Diva and can "Meep" like nobody's business.

@LadyleahRDBloom  Hey LadyleahRDBloom and welcome back from your break :). I love your new kitty kat she is gorgeous. What knowing eyes she has looks right into your soul and sorts out what kind of person you are.xxx

[LadyleahRDBloom]

Yes she does @greenpea . I'm sorry for being away so long. I wasn't in a good place. I'm getting better but I have a long way to go.

Lovely photos @LadyleahRDBloom  , thanks for sharing 🙂

Do you play the piano / keyboard? 

Aloha @greenpea  🙂  Have you been swimming?

[LadyleahRDBloom]

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 😄

[Gazza75]

@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?  

[LadyleahRDBloom]

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. 

[Gazza75]

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 :).

[Gazza75]

Hey @greenpea , 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.
