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.

This week's words/prompts are: 1.great  2.harmony  3.attraction  4.reach  5.subject  6.delicate Here is my story: The shuffling and rustling of people settling into their seats stilled as Philip rose to stand behind the podium. His eyes were red from crying, his voice shaking as he began, then strengthened a little as he continued. “Who can say what it is that attracts one person to another? For every person on earth, the attraction is differ...

I bought this carved wooden tablespoon measure at the Brick...

 ..and so tired. after arriving back in Adelaide, we (well R) drove to the twins home so my brother could finally meet the twins and their mum. One of the brothers arrived home from school while we were there, so he met R too. Since then I have arrived home, unpacked and sorted stuff and downloaded far too many photos, many of which may not even get posted. Not soon anyway.
