Drifting through life

 ..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. 

 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.concoction  2.premises  3.smoky  4.genuine  5.stronger  6.grease Charlotte's colour of the month is Ocean Twilight My story should appear on this blog on Friday 27th **Next month's Words for Wednesday will be supplied by messymimi**  on her blog .

 In spite of possible petrol shortages, tomorrow brother R and I are going to Port Pirie to see our older sister, so I will be offline a couple of days, but the Words for Wednesday has been scheduled so all who take part can still find them here.  April's words will be provided by messymimi , but I don't remember if she will post on her own blog or on mine.  Mimi, please let me know which. I will be back late Wednesday or early Thursday, probably too tired to catch up with everyone.

 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. Meg: I heard mum say something about painting some walls. Jordan: I'd like that, I wonder what colour? Wow! The blue is beautiful, like an ocean. And we have the sun chairs back at last. There is only room for two, so we shall ask Mum for the Barbie doll seat back as well. Yay! The piano is back! Let's rock this place! on a block not too far from my home a beautiful old bungalow has been demolished and here a sprinkler is kee...
