Drifting through life

Musical Monday I was introduced to Musical Monday by Delores who copied the meme from another site. I think it’s a fun way to show off some of the music we like and brighten up our Mondays at the same time.  I’ll be finding my clips on you tube , so will simply credit that site since there are often so many versions of everything and I wouldn’t want to accidentally credit the wrong artist. Today’s clip is: Geri Halliwell , a former Spice Girl It's Raining Men the beginning of this is copied from Flashdance where the girl is auditioning in front of a panel of judges. But I love the song, it's alive and makes me feel alive.   here are the lyrics so you can sing along.  (I'd like to dance along, but I can't move like that anymore). ready? Sing! (*~*)

Welcome back to Sunday Selections! This once-a- week-meme was originally begun by Kim of Frog Ponds Rock , as a way to showcase some of the many photos we all take, but don't get around to showing on our blogs. The rules are very simple:- 1. post photos of your choice, old or new, under the Sunday Selections title 2. link back to me, River , somewhere in your post 3. leave me a comment so that I know you've joined in and can come over and see what you've posted. 4. hop on over to The Elephant’s Child to see more of her wonderful photos.   Andrew often joins in too. I usually go with a theme for my Sunday Selections but this week I have a random selection. the new striped marigold I mentioned last week from the same punnet, more patchy than striped this gorgeous clear yellow caught my eye, I just couldn't leave it in the nursery. this is what I found on day three, badly wilted new plantings. I'd planted them, watered in...

On Wednesdays , Delores, from Under The Porch Light , has a word challenge meme which she calls “Words for Wednesday” . She puts up a selection of six words which we then use in a short story, or a poem. I’m hopeless at poetry so I always do a story. It’s a fun challenge…why not join in? This week's words are: 1. immaculate 2. moratorium 3. flash 4. spendthrift 5. miscellaneous 6. squirrel and/or: "grungy, grotty globs of goo" I left my (true story) contribution to this phrase in Delores' comment section. Here is my story: I thought about getting another deadbolt installed on the front door, three didn't seem to be enough. The back door had newly installed ceiling and floor bolts, perhaps I should get those on the front door instead.  I'd speak to the security people tomorrow.  I'd had the windows wired yesterday, anyone trying to get in that way would be met by screeching alarms and the speedy arrival o...

from One For The Money by Janet Evanovich "....I shuffled into the kitchen and stood in front of the refrigerator, hoping the refrigerator fairies had visited during the night. I opened the door and stared at the empty shelves, noting that food hadn't magically cloned itself from the smudges in the butter keeper and the shriveled flotsam at the bottom of the crisper." "I flopped onto my bed, spread-eagle on my back. This was my thinking position when things appeared to be futile. It had obvious advantages: I could nap while I waited for something brilliant to pop into my mind." today's thoughts   I'm giving up eggs.   Not entirely, so perhaps I should clarify. I'm giving up fried eggs and scrambled eggs, both of which I love, but I'll still use eggs to make pancakes and other yummy things that need eggs.  Chocolate cake for instance.  Chicken Schnitzels. Sometime ago, here in Australia, there was a problem with chickens on the...
