Drifting through life

 I have just now heard on the news that our "One Nation" political leader, Pauline Hanson, wants to make us a "whites only" country and wants to begin mass deportations of illegal citizens in the same manner as that of the US president, lower case "p" because in my opinion he doesn't deserve that title. She also wants our Health Care and Pharmaceutical companies to follow the American model!! She thinks Trump is a great leader, so I say, go and live there!

  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. this was the front garden view from my tiny porch when I first moved in, (15 years next month) that thin small rosemary in the front is now 2 metres high and 3 metres wide and the rest is so overgrown it's impossible to walk through. The "gardeners" keep the pathways clear by chainsawing everything that hangs over the edge, in case emergency services need to access any of the flats, and roses get chainsawed off at hip or ...

 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 Charlotte and can be found here This week's words/prompts are: 1.ants  2.sushi  3.meeting  4.miniature  5.juniper  6.leaves and/or: 1.mushroom  2.seagull  3.windy  4.glass  5.knit  6.safe also this picture of a dormer window: I have used only a few of the words and for those who might be squeamish, I apologise. I did try to not be too specific. Here is my story: Russell burst into the room just in time to see Erin fiercely gripping the rope on the beds...

Charlotte's colour of the month for July is Jade Green. a sinkhole has appeared in the street the twins live in, but there is no danger to them as they are not allowed to play in the front yard, with there being no fencing in that area. It isn't a huge hole, but worrying all the same, what if more ground opens up? you'll never guess what I bought! Oh, wait, it's written on the box... Ta-Da!! Your basic treadmill, not th...
