Day 30 - My favourite song

Please, please do forgive me... and all the others that have done you wrong... I apologise on their behalf, they honestly didn't mean it..... I had completely forgotten about DAY 30 as the new kindergarten term has rolled around and my aroha for the tamariki took hold of my days.. oh and the fact that excitment has entirely distracted me because one of my goals for the month of January has come into fruition - Yes, I am to leap on a wakarererangi (boeing 737) on June the 8th of this very year, to travel Europe for approx 7 months (she excitedly types even though her leave has not been officially approved!?) but more on that at a later date...


SOoooo... my favourite tune ever? Easy, peasy, Japanesy...... Melissa Etheridge and Dolly Parton's duet of "JOLENE" - Beautiful wahine with beautiful soul..
But alas you'll have to youtube it as the ancient PC I have hijacked keeps freaking out when one tries to embed video clips... Enjoy, and do comment if you take the time to look my favourite tune up - I'm intrigued!!
Italian Phrase of the Day:

.."I' supplica di m. di voi prego don' la t prende il mio uomo" -

I'm begging of you please don't take my man...

and now to quite possibly take on another 30 day trick? What say you?
