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 Alex J. Cavanaugh and can be found here Charlotte's colour of the month is Dusty Mauve This week's words/prompts are: 1.visions  2.red  3.tiger  4.desperate  5.Tibet  6.moon My story will hopefully appear here on Friday 13th

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 the blue-tongue lizard (Bluey) that my brother used  to feed once a week, he is now divorced, but V has taken over the weekly egg breakfast that Bluey has become used to. I have rediscovered a cracker that I used to eat long ago, lately I feel queasy after eating bread of any type, so these are a good substitute. here is what they look like, a water-cracker (no fats), crisp and flaky when biting in. I most often ...

 who remembers the green decor in my bathroom from several  months ago? here it is, I believe I said something about imagining a tropical resort holiday. Anyway; this past weekend I decided it was time for a change. To support from afar, my US friends, I have "gone blue", ignore that horizontal line which is a fault in the downloading Obviously I can't vote because I don't live there, so this is the next best thing, right? And I like blue, it reminds me of oceans and rivers and creeks and ponds, all good things to be near when the heat of summer is upon us. In other news: the * Silky Oak tree across the road is blooming along with hundreds of Jacarandas all over Adelaide (ALL OVER!) so instead of relief I have more pollens to assault my sinuses.  ho hum, life goes on... * Silky Oak is the largest plant in the Grevillea family
