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.

Sunday Selections # 726

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. 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 more often. **Elephant's Child is taking a break for the month of February** Continuing our road trip, today sees us in Snowtown, a small place 100km north of Adelaide. The welcome sign has an original windmill and the new wind power generators which we saw in a recent post along the hilltops for several miles. a painted water tower the infamous "bodies in barrels" bank which is no longer a bank All Bank signage was removed a long time ago an...

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.

I thought this was worth sharing...

  In the Sunday Mail (Adelaide’s Sunday newspaper) By Melissa Leong “I wonder if we’re losing our capability for rational discussion” There’s no question that the world is in the toilet right now. And I mean right at the bottom of the bowl, you know? Sure, as long as there have been people on the planet, we’ve had or issues. But at present it certainly feels as though things have hit a fever pitch that only dogs and bats should be able to hear. As such, I don’t think anyone can be blamed for being a little (or a lot) up in arms, From the atrocities of war and political injustice to social inequality; tragedy and environmental disaster, there’s a lot to be angry, sad and confused about, that’s for sure. I don’t know about you, but every day feels a bit like a powder keg waiting to blow at any given moment. As our patience wears thin on the issues we care about, I’m noticing that a new kind of worrying trend is rising in tandem. For the sake of our conversation, I’m going t...
