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. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do 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. you might need your magnifying glass or a high powered microscope to read the franking over the stamp: above the stamp it reads "secure your dog" and across the stamp "for safe delivery" - this was on a Christmas card that arrived through the mail from my brother. Excellent advice I think. an "Aussie style" Christmas window display seen in the city by "no-one" David Jones Store has its traditional Chri...
Oh yeah!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am TOTALLY zoned out while I am reading!!
ReplyDeleteFrequently at work during my meal break. I am sitting alone reading a book and eating my lunch. That, it seems, is not a hint that I want to continue to read but a hint that I want to talk.
ReplyDeleteI only read when no one is around as reading in front of people means you are bored and want long chats about nothing or that's how they think.
ReplyDeleteMerle..........
Definitely. Reading on the bus seems to be a trigger for strangers to start up conversations...
ReplyDeleteEC, put in earphones, even if they are connected to nothing. But even that does not stop the most determined.
DeleteRemy and Shama are quite familiar with that look when in my hands I have a book!
ReplyDeleteOh that is so me... I pick up a book and become a magnet for people and pooches alike, grrr!
ReplyDeleteDelores; I plan to get this printed in poster size and hang it above my chair.
ReplyDeletefishducky; I know, I can hear the silence from here.
Andrew; why do people assume that reading is only done because no one is talking to you? So they talk to make you feel better? My mum used to equate reading with doing nothing and would suggest I go outside and play.
Merle; that's it exactly, to them a book doesn't mean what it does to us.
Elephant's Child; and always when the story has just become really interesting.
Lee; Angel is learning too, but he needs to learn the computer also means reading and stay off the table.
Jaqueline, we all need do not disturb signs to paste across our foreheads when reading. Although that probably wouldn't work for pooches.
