Sunday Session 43

Yeah today is Sunday Session day, what is that you ask? Sunday Session is where the sweet lovely Thea posts some songs that have memories for her or just great to listen to. To join in there is no rules the only one is that when you post your songs you link your post up with her blog.


My two fav songs this week are This first one is cause a lot of my twitter friends have been doing their places up.



and yes I think I may have posted this one before but I wanted to post it again as Spicks & Specks will no longer be on Australian TV after 7 wonderful years gracing our screens & I do love this part so much. (I love all of the Spicks & Specks but some parts are better)

Sunday Session 42

Sunday Session 39

It's that time again, your asking what time ? It's Sunday Session time with the lovely Thea The idea behind Sunday Session is you grab a song (or 2 or more) usually Thea posts an oldie and a newbie (but I love more the oldie songs then newies so hence why I post more newbies). You then link you songs up on your blog to Thea's blog by pressing the Sunday Session button to the right of the screen.

This week all my songs are from movies that I love which means I also love the songs I've posted 

The first song is from a movie but I loved the way it was done on Spicks and Specks by the gang plus by the guy singing it the original Riff Raff from the movie Richard O'Brien I urge you to stay till the end of the clip when there is a surprise from Adam Hills. I would love to know what you think of Adam Hills and the surprise he does.



Hope you like the movie & song I loved it and can watch it over & over again



Now I must say with this one I didn't like the actor in it but I did love the movie and song




The last movie is around 31 years old now but still love it.

Photos

Today I want to share some pictures with you my lovely readers that our family has taken with our Canon EOS 550D DSLR Camera, all the pictures were taken with a 55-250 mm lens.

Have a lot more pictures to share with our lovely readers but for now please let us present you with the below pictures which were taken at Mt Coot-tha  Brisbane it’s one of many popular outlooks based in Queensland. 

These pictures were taken on a smoky day when our fire fighters were doing some back burning before our spring and summer seasons start causing the smoke to drift across Brisbane, hoping to get back up there on a really clear day to take some more pictues.

There will be more pictures posted but next time this blog might link with other blogs that post pictures. Hope you enjoy the pictures, would love to hear your comments on them so please feel free to comment if you would like.

Sunday Session 38

Sunday Sessions with the sweet Thea   The idea behind Sunday Session is you grab a song (or 2 or more) usually Thea posts an oldie and a newbie (but I love more the oldie songs then newies so hence why I post more newbies). You then link you songs up on your blog to Thea's blog by pressing the Sunday Session button to the right of the screen.

As some of you may know during the week I did a blog post called The Snip If you haven't read it and would like to just click the link I'll wait ....waiting .....waiting .....waiting ....welcome back now that got me to thinking what songs men would NOT like to hear while getting The Snip


Most men said the following two songs, which I must own up to that I love listening to as I was growing up never understanding the meaning of them till later on in life in my teenage years.

The First song has been disabled so you will need to click the link to listen to it
First Song 


The second song is

The Snip

There is a question in my mind that I haven’t been able to silence lately after reading some blogs & following some tweets on twitter and that is Why do Wives/Girlfriends ask their Husband’s/Boyfriend’s to get the snip and don’t get the snip themselves?

Do some Wives/Girlfriends feel that because they carried the child (ren) for 9 months in their womb then it’s only fair their Husband/Boyfriend gets the cut? 

My thoughts on this question is ok ladies have carried the child for 9 months but during them 9 months the husband/boyfriend has put up with our strange food cravings at all times of day and night, have put up with us rolling around in bed trying to get comfortable, have heard us whinge about feeling like a beached whale or that. Some husbands/boyfriends have even had the morning sickness and birth pains for their wives.

Also I have seen some marriages last well into when the child(ren) are in their teens and the dissolve for whatever reason yet the partner has gone off and had the big snip meaning that his chances of starting a family with someone new are all that much smaller. While the wife/girlfriend if she chooses a new partner and they want a family they can have one as she didn’t get the snip.

Personally I would never ask my partner to get the cut unless I was prepared to get it done as well, as family is joint effort then as far as I’m concerned the snip should be a joint effort as well.

I know there are sometimes other medical reasons for getting the snip but for now I just want to understand why it’s only one partner that gets the snip and not both and yes I’m aware that money plays a big part in the answer but if you are both thinking about the snip why can’t the money be saved up for both to get it done?

Yes I’m aware this blog is not written like a writer or journalist but at the moment I’m neither of these things so you will have to take this blog the way it is. 

Can’t wait till I hear my readers thoughts and please remember everyone has their own thoughts on this subject and also has feelings so healthy debates will be published nasty ones will not be.

Sunday Session 37

My what a long time for me has passed between I done some Sunday Sessions with the sweet Thea I'm hoping to not let as much time pass in between Sunday Sessions again as I love it as I'm sure you will. The idea behind Sunday Session is you grab a song (or 2 or more) usually Thea posts an oldie and a newbie (but I love more the oldie songs then newies so hence why I post more newbies). You then link you songs up on your blog to Thea's blog by pressing the Sunday Session button to the right of the screen.

As some of you know about 4 to 5 days ago I had to attend the Funeral of a dear Uncle called Uncle Wally ( or Walter as his real name was) I wish I'd knew him a lot longer then I did as I only learnt at the Funeral of his passion for Buddy Holly songs I also love Buddy Holly and his songs.

This week for Sunday Session I'm going to play the two Buddy Holly songs that was played at Wallys Funeral

Sunday Session 32

YEAHHHHHHH it's Sunday Session time once again with the lovely Thea who every Sunday posts two or more songs usually one being an oldie and one being a newbie. Then gets other people with blogs to join up if they wish. A lot of people who know me know that I usually only post oldies as most of the new songs that come out these days to my ears and eyes are crap but there are some exceptions.

The first one I am going to post I grew up with and pops into my head from time to time it's a great song by the Brotherhood Of Man (On a side note I did have a major crush on the lead male singer)



The next one I'm going to post is another one I fell in love with as I was growing up it's by The 5th Dimension ( Love the small 45 record brings back memories the song starts playing around the 26 second mark)



Time to creep into the 1980's here with this song that I use to play full volume when my parents weren't home.



Now to slide all the way back 1976 and listen to some Tina Charles when this use to be played a lot at discos, even the blue light disco's.

Sunday Session 31

It's that time again, time for Sunday Session with the lovely Thea The idea is to post an oldie and newbie on your blog (although you can post just oldies, like I do or just newbies) then link up with Thea's blog by either hiting her name in this blog or hitting the Sunday Session button on the side of this blog. Here are my picks for this week.

The first one comes to mind any time I talk about how when adults went to school as kids we had a lot more freedom then kids do these days cause they are wrapped in to much cotten wool with all the new school rules etc.



The other one I always think of when I see a truck on the road. (Make sure you have tissues handy)



I got one more its a parody song, now don't get me wrong I love animals have a cat of my own but sometimes these parody songs are just so funny & bring a smile to my face.

Sunday Session 26

Sunday Session is here again with the lovely Thea if you love music, you should join up. The idea is to post an oldie and newbie on your blog (alhtough you can post just oldies, like I do or just newbies) then link up with Thea's blog by either hiting her name in this blog or hitting the Sunday Session button on the side of this blog. Now on to my picks.

My first pic of the week is a lovely song about a magical horse (I always wanted to own a horse but have never rode one as yet but it's on my bucket list.) The song of course is called Wildfire by Michael Martin Murphey.



The second song is from Kenny Rogers I have always loved his songs this one is Coward Of The County.

Sunday Session 25

First up let me say sorry for not joining in the Sunday Session for the last two weeks but I have been busy with my Uni studies, now here it is Sunday once again and that means its time for Thea's Sunday Session where you post two of your favourite songs and link it up to her blog.

My first pick for this Sunday come about cause I was chatting to a dear friend called maidinaustralia  (who on a side note has a awesome blog of her own) on Twitter, about what Alcholic drinks I haven't tasted as yet and one of them I haven't tasted is a Pina Colada which reminded me of this favourite song of mine. 



Now I don't know about copyright laws so I wont post the next song but will give you a link to it, It's a parody of another song & its wonderfully done by Stephen Colbert and The Saturday Night Live gang. Please press here if you want to go listen to it

Sunday Session 22

For the last two Sundays I have missed playing Thea's Sunday Session due to the fact I've had the flu but I'm back this week with heaps of songs to post to join in this week and for the two posts I've missed over the other two weeks.

The idea is you put a oldie & newbie song up on your blog then link to Thea's blog and some of us are also now linking to Natasha's  blog as well, so don't forget to check out her blog as well, you can link to both. 

My first pick for this week is Just Can't Get Enough by Depeche Mode 

The next one is not so much a song but a nice piece of music called Apache from the Shadows, there is nothing like sitting with a group of friends over a drink and just listening to some music without any lyrics to it Do you agree?




Another great piece of music without lyrics I love listening to is Classical Gas by Mason Williams watch the flim clip & let me know what you think about the surprise around the 45 second mark. 




The next song I love and fell in love with it more when I heard the Great Dame Judi Dench sing it not only is she a great actress but she has a wonderful voice The song is called Send In The Clowns I play this song everytime Hubby & I are foolish in our thoughts to each other at times.



Now if you can hang on I got two more songs left to post the next one is Roy Orbison's Candy Man



The other Candy Song I love is the one from the Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory movie and is called The Candy Man



Well hope you enjoyed all my music this week and that I've given you all enough music to cover me being away for the last two weeks.

When does 2011 start for you?

Here it is the 4th of January 2011 and the New Year is only really starting for me this year as this is when people head back to work and you can make them calls to companies,Dr's,Dentists, and other places that close down over the New Year period. This is the time I start hunting around for a appt diary for this year as most places sell them at half price now compared to full price before the New Year.

This year is already shaping up to be a busy one with me aiming to lose a kilo a week till I'm down to 55 or 60 kilos, for those of you interested in following my weight lose you can follow it here . Also I'm planning on doing some sort of study via correspondence course before Easter rolls around so will be spending this week and maybe next week checking out if I need to enrol now or if I can enrol closer to Easter.

Also hoping to meet up quiet a number of times with some twitter friends who live in and around the South East Queensland area, all of my twitter friends have been a great source of new friendship for me and have made me feel very wlecome online but my next hurdle comes in metting a group of them. I've meet one twitter friend one to one and that was lovely but when it comes to a group even if  know the people I get worried and scared if I haven't meet them in real lift. I'm not going to put people's names on here but all my friends know who you are (I hope you do) 


I'm looking forward to what the new year is going to bring me even though I know some of what it's going to bring me the rest of it will be surprises even if it means hitting a rough patch here and there I look forward to them cause its through rough patches that part of me learns to grow stronger. 

What about you, when does 2011 start for you? What are you persoanlly looking forward to this year for you and/or your family?
