Music

Every week I download a few tracks from Itunes and transfer them to my ipod. I love to listen to music when I'm in the mood, which is any time when I don't need to concentrate (I can't listen to music while I'm reading for example). My taste in music is pretty varied too and you would just have to look at what music is on my ipod to realize that! I'm an eighties boy and music from the eighties features a lot - Alison Moyet, Howard Jones, Kraftwerk to name just a few. Nowadays I download a lot of electronic music and Brazilian music too. Celso Fonseca and Zuco 103 - does anyone like them? Oh, and I have a lot of classical music too. I used to go to bed with classical music playing in the background but I haven't done that for a long time :)

Anyway, what role does music play in your life? What are your favourites?

Easter break

Two weeks holiday. I wonder what everyone is up to. My holidays start tomorrow and I am going to try and catch up on things I haven't been able to do recently. I really need to dig the garden and clear it for the tomatoes and chillis I am going to plant next month. Then I need to go and look for a christmas present for my mother. Yes, a christmas present! I didn't visit my family at christmas and instead I am going to Manchester this Saturday for a week, so I will take her a belated present. The weather forecast for Manchester next week is snow, freezing rain and wind so I am not looking forward to that. Lucky Rita, going to Bali!

Anyway, what about you? I'll try and check the internet in Manchester to read what you're up to.

Have a good Easter

Animals

Hello!

This week's topic is animals. Have you got a pet? What is it like? Does it need much attention? Do you spoil it? Does it get on with other people?

Have a good week everyone

My favourite teacher

Think back to your school days. For some of you this may be a bit more recent than for others. What were your teachers like? Did you have a favourite? Were you the teacher's pet? Did you have a teacher that you absolutely hated? Do you still see any of your teachers around now?

Have a good week everyone!

What would you do if .....

What would you do if you suddenly came into a lot of money? It's a difficult one to answer as it's not very probable but almost everyone I know thinks about it.

If it ever happened to me, well, who knows what would happen. I would probably buy a reasonably expensive flat in Porto overlooking the river and also an old flat in Bordeaux, probably. If I won the first prize in Euromillions that would leave me an awful lot of money, so I would probably set up my own business doing web design and I've always fancied breeding cats, especially Bengal cats (10% Asian Leopard). That would also mean I would have a lot of money for my favourite pastime, travelling. Oh dreams.............

Money, money, money

Hello everybody,

A simple topic this week. Money. What's your opinion on it? Have you got too much money? Haven't you got enough? Do you think the best things in life are free? Do you think money is the root of all evil?

Looking forward to reading your comments.

Horoscopes

Do you read your horoscopes? Do you believe in them? Has anything you've read ever come true? What about your Chinese sign? Do you know anything about that?

Looking forward to your comments.
