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 River and can be found here This week's words/prompts are: 1.mosey  2.quicksand  3.ashes  4.villa  5.wire  6.wild and/or : 1.reliable  2.trusted  3.spilled  4.twisted  5.mountain  6.clowning Here is my story: As soon as the bus pulled up in the parking bay, people got up out of their seats, eager to feel the sun and sand and paddle in the water. Gordon took hold of Cassie's bag of dolls and plastic containers and helped her down the steps where a make...

My own story will hopefully appear on this blog on Friday October 2nd

 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. Starting today with a few things to fit Charlotte's colour of the month Vivid Tangerine I don't remember what these are called, it will come to me eventually, the petals close at sundown and open each morning the handles on my scissors are a better colour match a flowering "Bird of Paradise" is definitely tangerine as is the nozzle on this hose the light attached to this work ute (truck) is also tangerine and would b...

One of the many jobs in his past had been as bodyguard at an elite boarding school where the students were the children of millionaires and billion...

Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. spotted this sign outside a building while waiting for a bus and wondered what "Sandfire" is, then forgot all about it until loading the image just now.  a car being winched onto a truck and taken away, looks like a decent car, but what you see is the only bit left that isn't completely wrecked. I have no idea who, where, how, but I am glad to see it go, it sat there for quite a while. the Indian Hawthorn bushes are bloo...
