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. 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 and read it. This month the words are supplied by ME and can be found right here .   NEXT month, September, the words will again be supplied by Delores . This week's words are:  1. kitchen 2. long 3. modicum 4. notice 5. overly 6. perfectly and/or: 1. quivering 2. roasted 3. strawberry 4. theory 5. umbrage 6. vestige Here is my story: In theory , someone who claimed to have never been anywhere near a kitchen , should not have been able to turn out such a delicious repast. The perfectly roasted potatoes, the succulent beef, tender greens and the delectable strawberry tarts waiting for their finishing touch, a dollop o

I'm told there's a new computer scam going around where the scammers call people and pretend to be from a bank, phone company or the police, and tell people they need their help catching scammers, then get remote access to the computer and steal bank details.  Be aware, and be careful. Do not give out any details. 

It's been said that those people you dislike the most are the ones who have the same traits that you despise in yourself. Perhaps this  helps to explain Trump's viciousness on twitter?

Welcome back to Sunday Selections. Begun way back in the mist of time by Kim of Frog Ponds Rock and now continued by me, with a drastic relaxation of rules. Originally meant for showcasing old photos lost on your files, never seeing the light of day, the meme has morphed into photos of your choice, new or old, good or not-so-good, anything you please, but nothing rude please. If you are participating, please leave me a comment so I can buzz along and have a look. Elephant's Child always participates, and her pictures are always worth seeing. Today we are beginning with something new in my home: We all know I'm a demon when it comes to "saving with a purpose" and after several years of stashing away a certain amount per week, I have two recliner chairs replacing my old couch which now has a home somewhere else. As you can see, the chairs have the "Monkey" seal of approval. now we go back to V's home for more of her wonderful ornament

He reached out a hand. “No, no, don’t help me. I’m not decrepit just yet. Getting on a bit, but I can still walk by myself, I just need to be slow and careful. I see the fl

Today we are still in V's home looking at a few of her many, many knick-knacks, she has a fondness for cats and witches, also dragons but I don't have photos of dragons. this tiny chef looks as if her pot is about to boil over a closer look at the teeny tiny mouse by her feet, the teaspoon in between them gives an indication of size a few of the kitchen cats, I love the red and green pepper mill two wi

Guess I’m watching too many B grade crime shows lately.” “Yeah, that’ll do it,” said Dan. “My mum talks like that after she’s been watching late night TV.” Looking into

Let's visit V's weaving room today: this is the brand and model of her table loom side view work in progress seen from a different angle I like the colours V has chosen and the pattern, this piece, like all her work, is all natural fibres, wool and sometimes alpaca hair, this piece is destined to be a poncho. here is a closer side view showing how much woven fabric is already wound.

What’s he done now?” “Take a look,” said God. “He’s been down there sowing seeds of hatred and jealousy again. Greed too. There’s so much resentment and fighting amo

and had a manicure (claw clipping) and a nice shoulder rub to keep her calm while the spa attendant (vet) prepared a syringe of two-week antibiotic for her skin infection, which is NOT mange!! Hooray! NOT mange. Just a little infection which has been itching and Lola has been scratching out huge clumps of hair because of it. This is on top of the huge amounts of hair she sheds on a daily basis. Yesterday, I got home from being out for several hours and the blanket she sleeps on looked like there'd been a cat fight on it, there was so much hair there! Anyway, we're home again and Lola is out on Angel's big carpet covered scratching post tower pretending to be Queen of all she surveys and when she comes in later for her usual six hour nap, I'll get out there and vacuum twelve months worth of hair and shredded carpet bits off it.
