Drifting through life

 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.

 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.

Keeping t...

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...

Charlotte's colour of the month is Sea Green: From our local newspaper a few weeks ago:  "so the libs want us senior citizens to move out of our houses-to where, a tent in the parklands? Retirement homes are either full, too expensive or hundreds of kilometres from our communities." B.J Whoever BJ is, he or she makes a good point. Politicians would like older people in family homes to move out so younger people can have...
