Hi guy's........
what happened you may ask five months and nothing, where did she go?

Well your not going to believe this but I go a bit fed up with Social media, yeah thats the truth
I think some of you will actually agree with me.
Social Media can take up a huge chunk of your day I found myself spending too much time on facebook everyday. I would read people's posts and then post "stuff" myself (which doesn't sound like much) but I found myself sometimes spending two hours a day just on reading peoples posts and waiting for their videos to download.
Then there was Instagram which my daughter thought I should be on "Why" I asked myself but gave it a go and then soon got tired of looking for quirky interesting things to photo and one liners to write :( does that sound terrible and am I becoming an old fart???
Gorgeous Keona the dancer.
Well actually I think that I might have got caught up in something that a friend of mine told me about FOMO "fear of missing out" or maybe more for me "a need to know" like when I woke up one morning a couple of months ago the first thing I reached for was my I Pad to see what the new Princess's name was.....and why????????? WTF? I have a full rich juicy life why the need to focus on other peoples I asked myself?
Because with the Royal Family it's part of the fairytale the little girl in me just loves that escape.
Remember this gorgeous lady?

There are lots more wonderful things I want to do than but sit with my I Pad and read mundane stuff, but a couple of months ago I was hooked almost addicted so I gave up FB and Instagram cold turkey it was'nt hard I just did it.
But hey these outlets are a wonderful connection to the outside world and our love ones and I do use my internet daily (when it's connected).

You see the internet is so SLOW over here, no jokes sometimes you even go days without a connection (would drive the younger generation crazy) and last year the whole of Ubud had to go without the Internet for a week as there was a Royal cremation and all of the phone lines had to be cut down so that the towering procession could walk thru town, can you believe that? Hell yes!!
Anything can happen here it takes a lot for me to raise an eyebrow these days.
So if I find all this "stuff" so time consuming why am I back? Well simple I woke up the other night thinking that I need to write a blog and thats it plain and simple. I live my life by what messages are sent to me, it might sound a little weird but after the things I've experienced in this life if something powerful talks to me in my head I listen.
So what have we been doing??? OHMG where do I begin well we have had so many visitors from Oz and Vietnam it's been fab, not only catching up with wonderful people and hearing their stories but also sharing this beautiful place.
My new friend Ehme from Taiwan.
We have a new gardener Komang who has set us up with our Organic Vegie patch, Komang Is Wayan (our Yoga teacher's brother) a gorgeous man who is a wood carver by trade and muscian, a Flautist, guitarist, drummer and singer he spends most of his time at an Ashram in JungJungan.
He is also the great improviser do you like his protective gear whilst wippersnipping the weeds?
Sib popped up the other week whirlwind that she is we spent 5 days together and we spent two consecutive days rescuing puppies that had been dumped on the edge of a busy road on the side of a hill.
First Maud the blondie who was being eaten alive by ticks and fleas which took 3 of us 2 hours to get them all out. Ken holding her in the bath me holding a spotlight and Sibaunne with the tweezers.
The next day were driving down the same hill when I heard terrible animal screams, Sibaunne scrambled down the hill with the traffic flying past to find little Billie trying to drag himself up the edge with a fractured pelvis.
So thats it our family is completed 4 cats 3 birds 25 Koi fish and two dogs......ahh not quite but I will share that news with you next time.
Until then love to each and everyone of you gorgeous people life is wonderful enjoy it, have a look at this message I saw the other day.
WELCOME TO THE KARMA CAFE.
THERE ARE NO MENUS. YOU WILL GET SERVED WHAT YOU DESERVE.

Love reading your blogs beautiful - always make me smile. Love your hair! It sure was those pups' lucky day. Love to you both. Annie.xxx PS I know what you mean about the social media thing. I don't know how people do Twitter, FB, Instagram, Snapchat, etc. No wonder people have their faces buried in their screens everywhere you go. Sadly, just yesterday a young man over here was killed crossing a road with earphones in and eyes glued to phone - was taken out by a truck. Tragic. I'm feeling sad about Wayne Dyer - he was a big part of my life (still one of my faves and fallback teacher). I'm sure he's enjoying his new adventure.
