My blog is this month…ONE year old!! The actual “birthday” is the 9th….I’ve decided to link this “celebration” to some “memories”…after a year, you always think back/reflect on things that happened throughout the year..and you try to improve the next year…so: I’ve decided to “reflect” a bit…not really…hehehe…it’s just a blog! but to “refresh” some minds…I’ve decided to blog about the things I like/love…well, by just looking at that Springbok rugby player…I don’t have to say more!! Go to Sept/Oct 2007 and you’ll find about 10 entries on the World Cup Rugby…mostly about the Springboks ( of course!!) and their games..but there is at least the one of England against France too! I love rugby…and that’s due to my very first boyfriend…he played rugby for about 3 clubs…the same time!.. and I used to spend my days at Loftus!! ….all those days chewing biltong (jerky for the Americans!) and droëwors! with the other girls…the links to entries on my blog is self explainable…according to the stats since Nov 2007.
Most popular Chess link …Bobby Fischer.. was and is…the most popular POETRY link….and the most popular ART link…all of these links have had 1000+ hits till now…and this link is the MOST popular link on my site…with 1500+ hits since I’ve moved my blog to WordPress in November.

I’m sure that TESSA wouldn’t mind me blogging one of her fantastic pictures again..this is South Africa! and follow the link to see some more beautiful images!

I couldn’t help myself blogging this video! It has taken me back a couple of years…I took piano lessons from age 11…and when I was in secondary…. I was desperate to play this piece of music!! I practised it myself…it’s from a book which I didn’t use with my teacher….I could play it about half way at the end…but hey!! this piece of music is so tricky!! I really admire anybody that plays it like this lady does in the video! I still wish I could play it like that…<sigh>…sweet memories…ENJOY!
Here is an audio file to listen to… from THIS SITE …

If the above link doesn’t work, try this NEW link here.

Percy Montgomery!…my favourite Springbok rugby player.

Baie, baie ♪ geluk ♪ Nikita ! dankie vir al die links na jou vorige inskrywings, ek hou veral van die Zulu tribe een. Dan my gunsteling is die kunswerke….. ek is mal oor Claerhout alhoewel ek dit nou nie meer kan beskostig nie. Ek pas die wat ek het soos goud op 😉 Die rede hoekom ek so baie van Claerhout se kuns hou is omdat dit lyk soos kinderkuns….presies wat ek vanaand hier gesien het. Pragtig!

Hi Roer… ek voel saam met jou oor jou possie…dus…ek sal ‘n soortgelyke inskrywing moet maak…sal dit steeds doen, met dieselfde onderwerp, ek meen, nie twee mense doen dieselfde ding op dieselfde manier nie… 😉

Hi Wipneus! dankie!! nie gedink ek gaan so lank “uithou” nie en die blog het eintlik heeltemal anders uitgedraai as wat ek gedink het…was oorspronklik slegs vir die skaakspelers en toe begin dit ‘n hele “bedryf” raak…Ek is bly jy het die kuns geniet…ek het nog ‘n paar kunstenaars wat ek wil blog… gaan kyk bietjie na hierdie stukkie kunswerk waarvan ek hou! https://chessaleeinlondon.wordpress.com/2007/06/30/bettie-cilliers-barnard/
en dan hiedie een is ook ‘n groot gunsteling….

en hierdie tegniek is heel maklik vir kinders op paint…ek het my y5/y6 (gemengde klas) kinders dit laat doen (hulle is 10/11 jaar oue kinders hier in die Britse skole) jy gebruik ‘n eenvoudige prentjie en vul dit op met dots…

Hi! I am desperately trying to get the sheet music for Remembrance. I had it once long ago, in Australia, and have lost the last couple of pages. Have you any ideas? I used to play it quite well, but these days will have to relearn it. Really enjoyed this blog, and the music 🙂

  Hi Judith, did you get the rest of the music you were looking for (Remebrance) ?
  I have it.
  
  Cheers

  hi merv
  Welcome to my blog, thanks for the message, but I don’t think the chances for Judith to see this message is good. I will though see if I can contact her via email, depending on the email she’s left here.

hi Judith
Welcome to my blog and thanks for your kind comments!
No, I have no idea, you might want to search the internet with search engine terms like “sheet music”. I know there are sites out there with sheet music and to some you have to subscribe. My book with the sheet music is packed away with all my stuff in SA, unfortunately.
