no idea what I am dong but its fun anyway

Posted two blogs just to see what it would look like. I did not expect any comments but got two anyway. I don't have a clue how to answer the responses but eventually I will find out. One was in Spanish and I have been learning Spanish on Yahoo and MSN messengers.

I say I have been learning Spanish, but ony to read it. I really don't have much of a clue when I hear Spanish spoken. I also totally ignore grammar but I seem to be able to make myself understood even when at times when I read it back to myself I don't know what I have written in Spanish. Never mind it keeps the brain ticking.

I've even managed to invent a few new words in Spanish and was thinking of copywriting them but I can't find the copyright symbol on my keyboard. Some of my w0rds make a lot more sense than the official Spanish ones. I invented desaydos for lunch as desayuno is breakfast. (Spanish dictionary compilers take note, you saw it here first ) I also invented alucilinda which is a lovely word meaning bright and beautiful.

So to the alucilinda lassie who responded to my post Hola Lassie y me alegro que gustas mi poco a historia de mi familia Hacketts. No es ya possible para mi a responder a ti pero al menos voy a tratar en la futuro cuando aprendo a usar esa blogo ( Blogo is spanish for blog for want of a better word . ) My motto is if you dont know a word in spanish use the english and add ita, or even o but just make it look Spanish. It does wonders for my street cred. If they say they don't understand just tell them that is how they say it in Granada or in southern Chile.

I also had an encouraging response from a great granny whose mother came fae Brigton and some of her other relatives fae the Soo Side ( Gorbals) . These were the areas I was brought up in myself. I am only a granddad myself but I always did attract older women. It can't be my boyish looks because they went even before I finished being a boy. Having said that I do have a grandson of 18 and another 7 younger than him, so I'll be catching up with you soon lassie.

I tried adding pictures to my blogs but so far none have worked.
