My husband said the other night these kids will be adults now if they survived. Wont give to the big charities, they should be run by volunteers, where are the captains of industry that have retired and could do it, how anyone could take such fantastic wages as they do, when they are sending out pleading letters to pensioners etc.<br />Good luck with the ukulele <br />God Bless Margaret xciaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10756030581222946345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-77431486932760776312017-04-10T06:24:50.999-07:002017-04-10T06:24:50.999-07:00What fun Ukulele lessons sound !

My friend in Scotland was taking ukulele lessons with her grandson and enjoyed herself very much. I think it will be great and fortunately quite a portable instrument, ie not a piano or a double base, so no excuse for not taking it everywhere to entertain your friends.

I "escape" to my happy little bubble when I spend my weekends at O.K.'s, where we simply do not think of watching TV in the evenings, as we always have so many other things to do, places to go and people to see.<br />I am very much looking forward to hearing about your ukulele lesson!!

I do feel for the younger members of my family as I know how I worried in the 60's.<br />So funny that you mention the ukulele, I bought myself one a few months ago but found it hard to learn, maybe I need to go to classes, I can do a tune on the guitar but find it difficult to lean over and hold with my dodgy fingers now. lol<br />Hugs<br />Briony<br />xcrafty cat cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251582085392890533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-2181452415700348942017-04-09T22:47:16.595-07:002017-04-09T22:47:16.595-07:00Ukelele!

I was always hopeless at getting my guitar strings tuned and I'm sure I'd be equally hopeless with a ukulele... <br /><br /> With your son away for Easter ,I hope you keep busy.
