Hi MyLot, Sorry for being mostly absent -- I'm alright just busy busy busy so it seems. Here we are just starting the second week in August and I haven't talked about June or July yet really... thus the title of this post. lol. So , I sort of haven't even been keeping track of goals much... I've been practicing a lot of dance and a lot of playing bass for the summer belly dance performances and all of the things that go along with that - repairing costumes and learning to play hand drum with our friends - another, larger group of belly dancers. Even have my mom coming with me, which makes me happy. It seems like there is seldom a day where I just spend quietly at home anymore. Sometimes it's for fun events and other times, well... I'll write more about what's been happening later. Spent a couple weeks away pet sitting, so that made it go faster, too. Hope everyone is enjoying their summer :-) Photo: Charles Rondeau on Pixabay

You've been busy indeed Faye. Always good to hear from you. My summer's been a bit busy and productive lately with volunteering and job training.

@FayeHazel Same here Faye. Mostly seasonal at the zoo, but there might be a new opening at the shelter I volunteer at for open interviews next month.

Things have a tendency to get in the way of other things. But things must be done, and we'd never hold it against you if you had other things to do. Any videos of this belly dancing? I might want to have a look.

Good to see you back again but it's good you've been occupied with so many good things. We'll be house/pet-sitting this time next week - three horses, one dog and a cockatoo.

Pet sitting sounds like a good way to spend the summer. It has been rather hot for us, over here, and it is forecast for another heatwave this week

@FayeHazel It has been usually hot here and we had our first ever Red warning because of the heat. Things should be more normal from now... fingers crossed!

Lovely you are in the world of music. I always wanted to learn music and some musical instrument, especially the synthesizer.
