Sunday Selections #817

Image
 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. Charlotte's colour of the month is Dusty Mauve. a new message outside the Podiatry Office faint but hopefully visible, rainbow reflections on a wall inside the RAH (Royal Adelaide Hospital) I was there to support an elderly friend who didn't want to go alone in case she got lost, while she had her MRI I waited near the cafe and had a very nice Hot Chocolate.

Wednesday's Words on a Friday

 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 Here is my story: Plans for the Halloween party were not going as well as expected. It was the first one my son had ever attended, being held in the school hall for safety since the kiddies were mostly five with a few four and six year olds among them. I had been excited for weeks, planning time to creat...

Just to let you all know....

 Blogger has been messing us up again, with comments left that disappear on my blog and on other blogs I read where comments I leave have vanished. So this morning I checked my spam and found EIGHT legitimate comments and one true spam. These have now been ticked to publish on whichever post they were meant for, but not the real spam of course.

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 ...
