Drifting through life

  Charlotte's colour of the month is Steel Blue 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 in comments so that we can come over and read it, and add a few encouraging words. This week's words/prompts are supplied by messymimi and can be found on her blog as well as here on mine . This week's words/prompts are: 1.mood  2.peanut  3.weakness  4.novel  5.ride  6. jump and or: 1.asunder (apart)  2.nary (none)  3.rantipole (behaving in a romping or rude manner) Use either list or both, mix and match, just have fun. My own story will hopefully appear on this blog on Friday 21st

 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 not-so-perfect-picture-with-unecessary-vertical-lines, is one of several battery operated lights I have scattered around for when the power goes out, this one is on my fridge and this is how much light it pts out when turned on fully, at half light it is still enough to see by and I have another one in the bathroom and a third out in the back porch this one is a portable lamp, see the hook on the handle? This is a "campi...

Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. this is a sunset view from the bedroom window of my brother's new house. this jungly garden is hiding something... a lovely old concrete birdbath grevillea flowers, these ones are quite large at 3-4 inches long, while many other grevilleas have flowers so tiny they are barely seen. The shrubs are prickly, which makes them perfect hiding places for birds as cats avoid them. a metal panel in someone's garden has a nice design e...
