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 messymimi and can be found here . This week's words/prompts are: 1.great  2.harmony  3.attraction  4.reach  5.subject  6.delicate Here is my story: The shuffling and rustling of people settling into their seats stilled as Philip rose to stand behind the podium. His eyes were red from crying, his voice shaking as he began, then strengthened a little as he continued. “Who can say what it is that attracts one person to another? For every person on earth, the attraction is differ...

 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. Nothing very exciting this week, I have to get busy and sort all the latest photos... Did you know: In 1814 eight Londoners were drowned when almost 1.5 million litres of beer flooded out from the Horse Shoe Brewery. my last remaining flannelette shirt looking not so good anymore destined to soon join its brothers in the rag bag for cleaning paint brushes and spills. I bought this carved wooden tablespoon measure at the Brick...

Trevor turned to face her, grabbing a c...

 ..and so tired. after arriving back in Adelaide, we (well R) drove to the twins home so my brother could finally meet the twins and their mum. One of the brothers arrived home from school while we were there, so he met R too. Since then I have arrived home, unpacked and sorted stuff and downloaded far too many photos, many of which may not even get posted. Not soon anyway.

 In spite of possible petrol shortages, tomorrow brother R and I are going to Port Pirie to see our older sister, so I will be offline a couple of days, but the Words for Wednesday has been scheduled so all who take part can still find them here.  April's words will be provided by messymimi , but I don't remember if she will post on her own blog or on mine.  Mimi, please let me know which. I will be back late Wednesday or early Thursday, probably too tired to catch up with everyone.
