    That’s what happens when I sing: people disappear, internet goes down before I can sign out with

    I just decided what song to sing tonight: ha isha she’iti by David Broza. It means the woman by my side. When singing, I always choose male singers. He has a Spanish singing style, he was born in Spain. I saw him performing in real-life back in 2012, I think it was. Actually, I almost bumped into him before the performance as he was just standing there, just a guy standing there, alone.

    If you choose to watch the YouTube, please watch the one when he was young (80s).

    Changed my mind, will sing Yiheye tov, meaning It will be better, a song about peace. First one David Broza ever wrote (1977), about the time of the historical visit of Anwar Saadat (president of Egypt at the time) to Jerusalem.

    <p style=”text-align: left;”>I think I’ve heard long train running, it sounds familiar.</p>
    You’re hilarious. My internet is still working so your singing didn’t shut it down 😂

    Your David fellow’s songs are very pretty. You’re very talented having more than one language. This is as close to jealousy as I ever get! I wish my brain could language!

    I wonder if you’ve sung yet. How it went. I don’t think you’re quite at your evening yet but I’m hopeless at working out time differences. It’s just cool that occasionally we’re awake at the same time!

    Aaargh. Car! Easily forgotten when it’s such a boring thing to do!

    You may have sung now. I’m taking a break from work. Sometimes I worry from home, so I can clock off and hang out my washing, and have a chai tea made from chicory and other things and no actual tea in it. I have honey in it, my cheat for the no sugar thing I’ve imposed on myself.

    The sun is amazing. I have dandelions coming up in the areas of my yard that used to be in permanent darkness, before the tree loppers came and destroyed them, but now see the smile on madam sun’s face. Luckily the trees will grow back. They’ve already started popping out some new leaves. I have an unidentified plant the tree loppers destroyed but it’s coming back too. Not sure how happy I am about that one 😂

    I try not to cook. It’s my newly found talent. I’m very good at it actually. But I failed tonight and I cooked. I made another cheesy zucchini and vegetable slice because I love them so much. I’m so full I’m nearly asleep. And all the nights I can’t be bothered cooking I now have a healthy option in the freezer. Winning!

    Hope you slept well and don’t have a sore head when you wake up!

    Dear Worry from Home SadSoul:

    I made another cheesy zucchini and vegetable slice because I love them so much. I’m so full I’m nearly asleep. And all the nights I can’t be bothered cooking I now have a healthy option in the freezer. Winning!“- congrats for cooking a healthy option!

    No sore head this morning, but sore shoulder because I keep (not willingly) twitching it.

    So, last evening: the David Broza idea couldn’t, wouldn’t work with the karaoke system. So, I sang Ani Veata, like the last time, and then, I got another adventurous spirit to sing with me, as in a duet, my favorite two songs: Simple Man and Long Train Runnin’.

    Being that my singing voice is devoid of range (amazingly so), objectively speaking, my singing was terrible. But that’s what’s alcohol is about: forget the judgment and instead, be a legend in my own mind!

    I talked with a woman there whose sister’s birthday is not only on the same day and month as mine, but also on the same year. never came across that before!

    The guy who said he’s a Nut was there with his wife, the one I told you about before. I did let him buy my 3rd glass of wine, which brought me to the point where I don’t remember being driven back home. Thankfully, I wasn’t sick as in nauseous, but was close.

    You’re very talented having more than one language. This is as close to jealousy as I ever get! I wish my brain could language!“- thank you, although no very-talent is required when you are born into one language and later, learn another, and.. your brain CAN language if there was a use, or a purpose for you learning another language.

    I don’t know what things would help your heart to feel relaxed enough your shoulder doesn’t have to feel like it needs to be on high alert, always ready to fight the battles, or swing you up high to safety, but I would do the things that I don’t know what are to help.

    So, last evening: the David Broza idea couldn’t, wouldn’t work with the karaoke system.

    I love that your karaoke has so many diverse songs!

    You’re so funny with your descriptions and I’m sure it’s not as bad as you say. Legend in your own lunch box!

    I talked with a woman there whose sister’s birthday is not only on the same day and month as mine, but also on the same year. never came across that before!

    Happy birthday to the both of you on that fine day.

    So even nuts can find wives 😂 😂 😂 I’m glad you survived the indulging without getting sick!

    although no very-talent is required when you are born into one language and later, learn another, and.. your brain CAN language if there was a use, or a purpose for you learning another language.

    I’m pretty sure if my survival depended on learning another language I’d die out 😂

    I don’t know how I missed the email from your message this morning, but I did. I had a lazy morning with the nicest coffee and cream, because I ran out of milk. Then I ran late for my sport which went so very well in still walking on sunshine.

    I went and saw Twisters at the movies as well. It’s totally not my kind of movie but it was pretty good. We have this lovely old theatre that was done up a few years back. They did it up to be what it would have been like in the olden days. It’s beautiful and one of my favourite things to do. Even if the movie is stink 😂

    Somewhere in this very busy day I also managed to do the hours of work. I wish I could post a picture of all my fur people sitting on my desk keeping me company.

    AND THEN, ANITA, THEN!!! YES I’M SHOUTING! SHOUTING TO THE MOUNTAIN TOPS!!!! My son sent a message yes to coffee!!!!!!! I can’t wipe the silly smile off my face. I only just read the message. You were right, inaction begat inaction, just like Abraham begat Isaac. I wonder what that says about Abraham 😂 😂 😂

    I hope your day was marvellous. Hopefully your shoulder isn’t so sore. Massages, palm fronds to fan you, pots of soothing herbal tea, and a good old natter in the sun on my porch. Maybe you’ll have the chance to relax and feel the afternoon seep into your bones. Oh, and lots of zucchini slice because I doubled the recipe! So not even having to cook too entertain you 😂

    Dear SadSoul:

    Thank you for your concern and suggestions in regard to my achy shoulder. I am having an ice pack against my shoulder right now.

    You’re so funny with your descriptions and I’m sure it’s not as bad as you say“- my voice really is as badly devoid of range as can be imagined. I wish it was different but hey, at least I have a voice!

    So even nuts can find wives“- she had a separate dwelling built on the same property, her own, private hideaway.

    I’m glad you survived the indulging without getting sick!“- thank you!

    I’m pretty sure if my survival depended on learning another language I’d die out“- reminds me that yesterday, I talked to a couple from Hong Kong and tried to say “love” in the Hong Kong Chinese dialect, where the N-sound originates in the nose. I wasn’t able to make that sound.

    Glad you did your sporting even went so very well, and that you managed to do hours of work!

    I wish I could post a picture of all my fur people sitting on my desk keeping me company“- I am imagining it.

    AND THEN, ANITA, THEN!!! YES I’M SHOUTING! SHOUTING TO THE MOUNTAIN TOPS!!!! My son sent a message yes to coffee!!!!!!! I can’t wipe the silly smile off my face. I only just read the message. You were right, inaction begat inaction, just like Abraham begat Isaac. I wonder what that says about Abraham“- I am thrilled! In read this for the first time just now, Y   E   S ! ! !

    Dear SadSoul: during the coffee meeting, if I was you, I wouldn’t bring up any conflict, or anything that may be upsetting and distressing to him. Instead, make it all pleasant and comfortable for him, best you can, so that the meeting will register in his brain as something positive, something to repeat.

    Thank you for this advice and I agree. I’ll be listening and nodding.

    It takes him a month to reply so it may not happen till next year. By the time it does my excitement will have settled down 😂

    I’m going to find the kitchen and put the coffee on. Should I make the big pot, in anticipation of your arrival with scones and cream, and then drink it all because you couldn’t make it?

    Oh the beautiful sunshine, pot of coffee, fur people everywhere! Still no sign of Anita so I think I’ll down the other cup 🤎

    I have to work shortly. Great. NOT.
