Spring sprang, then sprung off again.

Well, another month & not a lot happening. The few days of spring were nice but it seems we have gone back to cold & rainy. Everything is still on track for university. I have four months to go. I need something to fill my time that isn't books or Facebook, so I am thinking of taking up a musical instrument. Or two, I have plenty of spare time. I had keyboard lessons at school, & I used to play basic guitar, so they are possibilities. I am also thinking of the ukulele, just for a difference. When I mentioned it to my father, he automatically thought of George Formby. To me, the ukulele makes me think of Hawaii & beach parties.

We already have a keyboard here, & as my brother is a former guitar teacher & music student there are plenty of guitars. Unfortunately there are no acoustic ones, but I could always pick up a cheap one at a later date. My father also has a double neck 6 & 12 string guitar, & a lap steel guitar, but they sound too complicated for me! At least for the time being.

I've been looking at ukuleles online. I'm only looking for a cheap basic one for now. I had to smile though when I saw a book called The Ukulele Rock Playlist & a flying V shape ulukele! Rock on! Anyway, I've found an interesting package which includes a soprano ukulele, case, 2 books, & an electric tuner. Sounds like a good starter package.

I seriously don't have anything more to write about. The village is as quiet as ever, & it's not easy to escape if you don't have a car, lol! Here's hoping the weather improves again so I can practise ukulele in the sun!
