This tribute to Freddie Mercury is lovely to watch

I saw this a few minutes ago at double-half or one ten without ham and just had to share it with all the other Queen fans out there

      I watched it three times and there's not a single misstep in the whole routine, it's flawless. And something I always wanted to learn, (ice-dancing) but growing up in Port Pirie didn't give me a chance. But I can dream and dream-skate.

      Iris Flavia; you're welcome. I have a few readers who don't go to your site and I knew they would like to see this.

    I watched the entire performance. First of all because a blogging friend posted it. Second because I found it fascinating and beautiful.
    I am not a sports watcher. Seems all is football and basketball etc etc. Skating is a team effort and sport. Skating is ever so skillful and exiting. The crowd thought so too.
    I wonder where our priorities are. :(

      joeh; glad you liked it. I thought the FM movie was really great, better than I expected. The Elton John one was okay too, but FM was better.

      Arkansas Patti; I'm a Queen fan too, but don't like every single song, I'm picky like that.

    This was beautiful. Sometimes the routine reminded me of power grid turbines, which I also find graceful and beautiful. I've been directed to this site before. By you?

      Joanne; I don't think I've directed you, but you may have followed a link from my comments. Perhaps someone else directed you. I saw the power grid turbines in there too.

      Margaret-whiteangel; ice is such a tricky medium, I wonder how many hours they practised to get such perfection.

      Plasman; I wish I could skate too, I would love to dance on the ice, but I never even learned rollerskating.

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 (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.

Sunday Selections #718

 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...
