Drifting through life

 well, I can't speak for every person on this huge continent, but everyone I know here stands for and with Ukraine. my redheads from Linda Sue , hope she doesn't mind from Boud , hope she doesn't mind also I don't remember where I copied this one from, possibly Yorkshire Pudding this one from Iris  at Double-half or One ten Without Ham and this which is blu-tacked to my own front door, an image I found via google and added the words myself.

 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. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us more often. Elephant's Child has been taking a break and may or may not be participating this week. Beginning with a couple of photos from before Christmas: from North to East and South to West, the sky on that day was brilliant blue as far as the eyes could see, not a single cloud. this is the Indian-Pacific train waiting by the platform in Perth, Western Australia the crowd of passengers waiting to board are treated to drinks and nibbles and...

  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 Lissa and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. premonition 2. onion 3. temperature 4. seventh 5. weirdo Next month's words will be supplied by me right here on this blog Here is my story: “There he is,” snickered Jerry, "walking around like he’s something special, a seventh son of a seventh son, he says,” to me that just means they all have far too many kids, so it’s no wonder he only has second hand clothes!” “Probably third or fourth hand clothes,” giggled Billy, holding h...

Beginning again with my road trip to the mid north: we breezed through Red Hill without stopping, it's such a tiny place R slowed enough that I could take this photo, it's a statue but looks so real Next stop was Port Pirie, our destination where we met up with our older sister J, she's the one in the dress, I don't wear dresses.  I think it is very unfair that h...
