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.

dented or otherwise damaged cans, what do you do?

Image
This article in yesterday's paper caught my eye. Looks like mould to me. But. Forget the sensational headline for a minute and focus on the can. Notice how it's a little blackened around the bottom rim? I'm not sure it shows, but it looks like the can has been standing in wet conditions, the wrapper looks a little wrinkled too at top and bottom. Was it like this when it was bought?  If yes, why buy it?  If no, then how was it stored in the home environment?  Use by date. Usually irrelevant, unless the can has been opened. We all know that once a can is opened the contents need to be used immediately, especially baby foods. She mentions somewhere in the story that the contents appeared "a bit runny". This happens when  food is given to the baby directly from the can, (or jar) with saliva from the baby's mouth being transferred to the contents, which then begins to break down the molecular structure of the canned food. This isn't immedia...

Sunday Selections # 790

Image
 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. In memory of Elephant's Child, the meme is now continued by myself and 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. Starting this week with a "wish" who remembers cupping one of these in the palm of your hand, making a wish and then blowing it away? If it flew up and away your wish was supposed to come true. I dug around in the pot where I had planted pieces of a sprouting potato and came up with these tiny morsels, the coffee mug is for size reference. Did I already show this recently?  I bought a couple of "Heirloom" tomatoes fo...

Welcome to 2026

  Welcome to 2026! I hope this is a good year for everyone, hopefully even better than last year. Try not to fall over folks, it's not fun.  🌞🎈🎉 Coming to you from sunny Australia, that big lump of land under the equator.  Sunday Selections will be continuing, hosted by me , participation is optional, if you can't manage every week for any reason, that's okay. Words for Wednesday will also be continuing, hosted by me , and again, participation is optional, play when you can, take a break when you need to.  Charlotte will be providing a colour for each month as she did last year, we try to use the colour somewhere in our posts, either photographing something with that colour or using it in another way. This month's colour is Carmine: Isn't that just gorgeous? And why is my text in two different sizes?
