As I warned you, I'm looking at a group of cover songs that I love. And when I say "love," I mean I like them at least as much as the original....if not more! I'll point out those rare instances later (and it might shock you...

Jade Platypus I am a fan of Bonnie too. Great voice and pretty good on the bottleslide too. Her, and the Tedeschi Trucks band with Susan Tedeschi. Very nice.

Lenore Plassman (@sallypup) recently wrote about the car they hired recently. You just had to push a button and the engine would start. Our new-to-us car is much the same. It is a top-of-the-range Toyota Kakadu (see photo) and we...

Jade Platypus @JudyEv Same here. With his car, a bag on the passenger seat - the car thinks its a person -and you drive halfway to town with beep beep beep beep. Mine just flashes a red light. I can ignore that.

I decided to share a link to a favorite song every day or every few days perhaps. I like so many songs I will be posting links for awhile. I know we all like different genres and styles of music. But maybe one of these songs will...

While Vince is in Nepal for three weeks I’ve been doing some spring cleaning and decluttering. In the process I came across two little crochet sets that I made a long time back. The little dresses are about 3” (7.6 cms) from top...

Jade Platypus @JudyEv Same here. Crocheting grows quickly, you don't have to worry so much about tension and it still looks nice when finished.

After a week of hard work and stress, sunday is everyone’s favorite. We get to relax, go somewhere or bring our loved ones to restaurants. My husband and I have no kids so no one will bug us to bring them to places they wish to...

Jade Platypus @mrki444 Beautifully said. I think I could say similar things about Australia, Good at cricket- until we do a bit of ball tampering, beautiful countryside, stupid politicians.

Jade Platypus @Janet357 I live in a small city half-way between Melbourne and Sydney. I don't have to drive very far to reach bushland.

It's supposed to be Spring here in Australia. Well, it is, but we are still getting frosts in the morning, and the temperature is still dropping to close to 0°C(32°F) overnight. To me, that is far too cold. Tonight, I will...

Jade Platypus We have ducted heating, which warms the house nicely, but doesn't really warm the body (if that makes sense). When I don't have an early start, a hot bath is the perfect answer, it's as if hot water warms from the inside out.

Jade Platypus @pitstop ,Melbourne is pretty easy to drive around, it's mainly sort of grid-like, so I usually end up where I need to be,(right, right and then right again, and I'm back to the start) but that voice and I still argue, lol.

Jade Platypus Enjoy your meal. I like in the summer months to sit outside to have my tea at night. If we sit out early enough, the mosquitos don't come and bite us.

Jade Platypus Sometimes the milo drink is not inviting, I have hot water with lemon and honey instead. It is very relaxing, and I can drink 2 or 3 of these before bed.

Jade Platypus @m_audrey6788 Thank you for that. You have no idea how comforting your words are to me. Not only knowing that someone else has experienced this, but also that they know how I feel. Much appreciated.

Jade Platypus Yes I have wondered if I will find it easier to resign. I will wait and see. I'll grow a thicker skin, and look at my options in a few months. Glad to know I am not the only one.

Jade Platypus That is correct Judy. I understand how they felt, but it was not my 'fault' that I was chosen and not they. I do recognise how bad they must have felt, I too expected that I would be one of those not asked. I would not, however, treat someone I had worked...

I must say, I am not a winter weather person. The nights are closing in a bit here in Victoria, Australia. It is 5.45pm as I post this, and it is almost dark. When I head off to work of a morning at 6.30am, it's dark then too....

Jade Platypus Are you far from the snow? Where I live, there are a couple of mountains that will get snow in winter, about an hours drive away from here. It's not something I ever aspire to, 'going to the snow', or being a 'snow bunny'. I like warmth.

Jade Platypus @FourWalls I agree with your reasoning. And I'd add a further bit. " Here I am, a young, brilliant and beautiful musician. Focus focus focus on music. This is my life -music, music money, music related everything. Now, a few years later, I will put my head...

Jade Platypus @TheHorse that is what I aspire to one day. Very nice indeed. Now of course, with only 4 strings (and short stubby fingers, and starting after age 50) I have many limitations. But I love it. I love to just pick notes, not necessarily following a pattern,...

My husband, (I'll call him Mr Platypus, or Mr P for short), has recently joined a rock band again. For many years, in the 70's and 80's he was lead guitarist and vocalist in a band, but life happens, and he gave the gigging away...

Jade Platypus Exactly. I read somewhere, 'do what you love, and the money will follow'. For him, it's his love of playing; the fact that he gets paid is a bonus.
