Drifting through life

  The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by Hilary Melton-Butcher and can be found right here on this blog. This week's words/prompts are: 1.baker  2.canoe  3.gable  4.training  5.rot and/or: 1.lily-livered  2.provisions  3.barley  4.arrow  5.border use either list or both, or mix and match, just have fun. Charlotte's colour of the month is as seen above the text here My own story will hopefully appear on this blog on Friday 12th

 Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections.  A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please.  Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. In memory of Elephant's Child, the meme is now continued by myself and a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. Charlotte's colour of the month is: starting today with this month's calendar page with a dancing skeleton in a pink dress. almost razzamatazz, a camellia with a bee autumn orange lichen on a fallen tree I had been walking home a different way to avoid traffic noise, I don't usually go down this street but I am glad I did, I rarely see lichen otherwise. more autumn orange, this is a pot of soup full of nutritious yumminess,...

He is a very excitable little pug, zooms around at great speed and climbing, clawing, sniffing, scratching and trying to eat any newcomer who visits.When I visited last Thursday he managed to get his nose INSIDE my jacket pocket looking for food.  this is a screen shot taken from the TV, a show I was wa...
