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 Hilary Melton-Butcher and can be found right here on this blog. This week's words/prompts are: 1.sculpture  2.amendment  3.timeline  4.bog  5.castle and/or: 1.sword  2.crew  3.buffalo  4.forest  5.variation use either list or both, or mix and match, just have fun. Charlotte's colour of the month is: Razzamatazz Pink My own story will hopefully appear on this blog on Friday 5th.

 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 is Macca, the twins puppy, technically the family puppy, about 7 months old now, but 5 months when this was taken. He is a very excitable little pug, zooms around at great speed and climbing, clawing, sniffing, scratching and trying to eat any newcomer who visits.When I visited last Thursday he managed to get his nose INSIDE my jacket pocket looking for food.  this is a screen shot taken from the TV, a show I was wa...

 I  have been to the dentist. Yes, again, and again and again and again... I have been without several teeth in my lower jaw for a very long time now, using the lower front teeth to do any necessary chewing. Those teeth eventually became so worn down they were only half the original height. So I had crowns attached. Then a mould was taken a week later to begin construction of a denture. Back I went today, in the fine drizzle and cold wind, expecting a denture, but no! the dentist took another mould to compare with the first one, but this time a different medium was used and instead of a slight tingling there was definite stinging at first and then a burning feel.  Of course the mould has to stay in until the medium sets so my discomfort became a little extreme. It seems I am allergic to one of the compounds. It was fiery! Oh, the relief when I was allowed to rinse and spit. I mentioned it to the dentist so he knows now that a different medium should be used if needed....
