Drifting through life

  It's Kiwifruit season!  The kiwi gold comes first, with the yellow fruit and lighter brown skin, then the green ones a few weeks later, with green fruit and slightly darker brown skin. The ones you see here are the Kiwi gold. Sweet and cold from the fridge and an excellent source of Vitamin K as well as Vitamin C

 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 Charlotte and can be found here This week's words/prompts are: 1.spice  2.think  3.scissors  4.glue  5.numbers  6.glum and/or: 1.patch  2.banana  3.evening  4.lamp  5.shady  6.golden Here is my story: Grandpa Bert listened at the door as young Robert grew more and more frustrated.

 I have just now heard on the news that our "One Nation" political leader, Pauline Hanson, wants to make us a "whites only" country and wants to begin mass deportations of illegal citizens in the same manner as that of the US president, lower case "p" because in my opinion he doesn't deserve that title. She also wants our Health Care and Pharmaceutical companies to follow the American model!! She thinks Trump is a great leader, so I say, go and live there!

  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.
