Hurrah for Trac!

Hurrah for Trac! I've been sooo unhappy these past few days because I couldn't get my blogsite to work properly and now Trac has fixed it for me :o}

The two pics that have been posted under Trac's flower were test photos that I'd made that I didn't realise had got posted after all. I got them from the bootfair on Sunday - yes, Betty, the blue bowl was the one that I bought for Donna - isn't it lovely?

Uh-oh, I just tried to upload some more photos then but it wouldn't let me. Never mind, I'm sure it will one day :o{

The other photo is showing the selection of 60s & 70s vinyl I bought on Sunday to add to my collection. Yes, that's the original Meddle there, in perfect condition - 50p!! Also a couple of Emerson, Lake and Palmers, John Lennon's Double Fantasy (OK, not 60s or 70s), a Rolling Stones release that I didn't know about before called "Made in the Shade" and a lovely find, a compilation called "A Stereo Introduction to the Exciting World of Transatlantic" - featuring Pentangle, John Renbourn, Bert Jansch, The Humblebums (Gerry Rafferty and Billy Connolly), Steve Tilston, Stray and others.

I also bought two Babycham glasses. Happy me :o}

Another lovely thing I did at the weekend was book a trip to Australia. This is being paid for by my sister (who lives in Australia) and my two lovely daughters. I am wildly excited - don't know what state I'll be in by November, which is when I'm going. My sister and her husband went out to Australia in the 60s on the £10 assisted boat passage deal. They brought their family up there but I've never been to visit. Thankfully they have been over here but I'm going to love seeing their life and the home that they made.

Thanks to all who have been so lovely about my studies. Yes, I was very pleased with the merit but it only covers the work that I have done so far and I have loads more to do before I finish the course in November, just before I go on my trip. I am going to try very hard not to whinge about it any more - it's just that I have not studied for many years so it has been quite a shock to my poor wee brain.

My star partner is apparently Johnny Depp too Tats but he doesn't really do anything for me, so I'll not be finding it necessary to squabble with you over him.

Night night xxxx
