happy birthday!!

To Max Fatchen.

Author of several children's books;

Long term writer of columns for our Adelaide newspapers.

90 (NINETY!!) years old today.

And still writing a weekly column.

I've been reading Max's columns for years.
They always make me smile, sometimes bring a tearor two to the eyes.

Happy Birthday Max.
I hope someone made you a cake, or at least brought you a cream bun.

Words for Wednesday

Image
 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 River (that's me) and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. on the run 2. belong 3. street 4. breakfast 5. tent and this image: taken by "Genius" and allowed by Val . Also Charlotte's colour of the month which is Orient Red for September.
