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?

    You know, if he had stayed off twitter from the get go, a lot more people would not be so anti Trump. We wouldn't have such a verbal portrait of the true man. He can only blame himself.

    I really, really hope that I don't share many traits with Trump. Or our own politicians.

    I will have to think about that. Trump has been an idiot with Twitter. As is said, better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are a fool, than confirm it by opening your mouth.

    I can't abide the (?)man. He talks, acts like a spoiled child.

    This is very likely to be correct, that we hate in others what we hate in ourselves. Gives me plenty to work on in my own self, that is for certain.

    Hi River,

    I don't agree with that.

    And Trump is a law unto himself - the greatest living example of a malignant narcissist - perhaps with the exception of Putin!

    :o)

Words for Wednesday

  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 and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1.conviviality  2.adoration  3.willpower   4.mellow  5.gentle  6.guitar Have fun, don't use all the words if you can't,there's no pressure here. My story will appear on this blog on Friday as always, unless I can't write one... edit: Charlotte's colour of the month is Beauty Berry Purple.

Sunday Selections #754

 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. Brother R came to visit and brought me some old paperwork belonging to my dad, who has been dead for 25 and a half years now.  They'd been stored in a container with moth balls and were quite stinky so I pegged them out on the clothes rack in the back porch three days later, most are now inside, but the heavier items such as dad's passports are still smelly so they are still out there. I now have the original copy of his natu...

Charlotte's colour of the month for May is Gold : The colour of sunshine, daffodils, little yellow dandelions before they become puffballs, baby chicken and ducklings too are golden . the pan is prepared, the ingredients are measured and ready, look at those gloriously golden egg yolks, and the golden butter, let's mix and bake just out of the oven, a golden lemon ricotta cake time to take off the paper,  and see it ...
