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 messymimi and can be found here This week's words/prompts are: 1.sign  2.omission  3.fall  4.conviction  5.accompany  6.commerce and/or: "courage and stupidity were all we had" Here is my story: Courage and stupidity were all we had , but we thought we knew enough. True, we hadn’t paid much attention at lessons, but how hard could it be? We had grown up in the city, learning from the street kids to ignore any and all sign age, easy enough since we could barely read, having ski...

 Why would Nature deviate from the norm to produce a flat earth? And how is it possible for a "flat" earth to be spinning in space as we know our sphere does? See that flat blue slab which looks so wrong and out of place? In other news, I walked four miles today. I was puffing and blowing like a steam engine by the time I got home and regretted not taking a bottle of water with me, but I did it!

 ...with regards to the Words for Wednesday meme. In the past, the month of May has had words supplied by David M.Gascoigne, but he has not participated since Sue passed and after emailing him, I learned he no longer wishes to play.  So I am asking for a volunteer to provide words and if no-one can do this or wants to do this I will provide the words myself.  You do not have to be a regular participant to provide four Wednesday's worth of words, but I do need to know soonish and have the words ready to schedule by the beginning of the month.  Thank you. 

 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. Beginning today with the redheads: Riley discovered a quad bike and was having fun though it is a little too small for her, when along came Mr Rat. "That looks like fun, can I have a go?" "Of course, come on in" "I think you might be too big," said Riley "Oh! Help, Help!" "I've got you," said Riley. "Just a little bump on the head, you'll be fine"  "I thought it wo...

Charlotte's colour of the month is Sea Green The puzzles book I get these quotes from is quite old, 2024 I think. Exhumed to be executed seems like overkill to me. these magnolia photos are from last year I think usually by the time I remember to look for them the flowers have browned and dropped already. on the bed in a care clinic when I took my friend who was having chest pains but had no phone so I phoned an ambulance an...
