Drifting through life

 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. our native Frangipani is blooming again,  here is a closeup of the many thousands of white and yellow blossoms they do make a mess when they fall, but insects don't mind pink/orange roses, I like this combination of colours purple something, I think Sea Lavender or Statice bouganvillea spreading across a fence a nice terracotta plant stand with a cute little "welcome" gnome under it  (strelitzia) birds of paradise r...

 But first, 😍  thank you to all who left comments on my previous post. My sprained wrist/hand is much less painful now though still a little swollen, all other cuts and scrapes are healing nicely. I have always been a fast healer.  I am surprised I didn't even get a headache and very thankful I didn't smash my teeth when my head bounced off the footpath. People did help me onto the bus, with one woman offering me tissues. I will be back to commenting on Monday. on with the show now: in the city one week after the annual Christmas pageant: The Big Pigeon in Rundle Mall The most delicious aromas come from this stand, although I was there too early and they hadn't opened for business yet. David Jones has the same familiar decorations and the same tree at the western side of Victoria Square: rows and rows of bikes which one will I "choose" today? this one should have people moving out of my way the second-hand book stall in Central Market goes for quite a long way e...

 but there is no story today , hands are hurting quite a bit, so typing isn't easy.  I had a fall yesterday while hurrying to catch the bus that was right there, wasn't flat out running, but two hurried almost running steps and down I went.  Blood everywhere! I think I scared a few people when I got on the bus looking like I'd been in a fight. head gash which bled like a stuck pig, but stopped before I got off the bus left hand all scraped plus fingertip cuts right hand scraped plus fingertip cuts. this was just after I cleaned up with disinfectant and before I applied bandaids. ** there may be no Sunday Selections this week if the hands still hurt.**
