Hi folks, after a few attempts to log onto the forum I managed to suss it out (I think},thanks go to Barry for he's valuable guidance, hopefully I can get back into the swing of things ,lot's of posts / news / gossip to catch up on. All is well in the "Simmo" camp down here in Baldivis, weather going into summer mode with temps getting into the mid thirties (perfect...nice and comfortable )...Patricia is well and like myself ...glad that the cold weather is over, gardens looking good with our little veggie plot producing the summer salad crops, fruit trees (orange, peach, plum, nectarine, lime and of course an abundance of lemons which always bear fruit for 12 months. The music is full on what with the oldies concerts, senior groups, special birthdays, in fact one of my gigs at a local retirement village / nursing home asked me to play for there once a month birthday concert in which they had 14 people celebrating there 90th birthday. I have recently got back into my busking at the local Rotary organised Sunday market which is always a pleasant change from playing at the nursing homes etc, while there I was approached by the local Rockingham Bowling club to play for about three hours on a Friday night, I did it for three weeks but It was really hard "Yakka" { work } on my own as a solo act so I let them know that would not be available to do it anymore, the big problem was that I would start packing up my gear when the management would ask me to do another hour or so, I never really knew how long I would be there. I have more than enough work doing what I am doing. Our cd is still ticking over with sales getting up to 250,we are not pushing it but I always display them when at my gigs + Patricia always has some on hand whenever we are out & about just in case. We have made a decision to visit the UK next year to catch up with remaining family / friends /forum mates etc before we get to the stage where we may possibly not be able to travel, health issues etc.Will keep you updated on our plans.I will have to put a few up to date pics on the forum if I can remember how to do it.
Best wishes to all....
