noticing



I'm really enjoying visiting blogs at the moment that offer a music console with a song to listen to while reading. It creates mood - and insight into the musical tastes of the blog's author. Pretty great way to discover new music too.
I first noticed it here, and then here - 
"where's she been?" I hear you say. 
Well - at times I can be a little slow on the uptake...

So I would love to add my own console to my posts too -  as further illustration. Problem is, my brain has been bent in half and turned in on itself trying to work out how. I know that there is a simple method - there must be - surely.... But the pain of the search has got the better of me.

So until I work it out I'm going to stick with the good old faithful utube link - where you get the whole kit 'n caboodle!

Today we attended a fundraiser for Daylesford Community Food Gardeners. There was music and wonderful food and catch ups with friends - and the MeltDown of a certain four year old - which progressed into the tremendous meltdown of the almost two year old.

Tomorrow is a new day.


How is your weekend going?

  1. Sometimes I post the whole video from youtube, but I really like to use the grooveshark link. It's easy if you want me to send you the directions. Just let me know! :)

  3. Daylesford is so lovely but sounds like the peace may have been slightly interrupted by meltdowns.

    My weekend is full of sunshine - although, it's almost too hot to go to the beach here in Perth!

  6. I love listening to music on other blogger's sites too! It is a great way to get to know someone I think :). Love Nina Simone, and what a great song to post!!! It took me a small bit to figure out grooveshark, but it isn't bad at all :). You do have to sign up for an account--free, and then there is an option to embed it into your html. Good luck, and you tube is always a great go-to, I agree. Music videos are just as fun!

  7. Music and writing are my life and I couldn't live without them! ;o) Thanks for stopping by my blog. I couldn't resist telling you that your Nina Simone video was the clincher. I'm sure we have much in common!
