Linda Sue; let's not be dead just yet. Well, the virus can be dead. I'm not a travelling type myself, but I don't like the idea that I can't if I should want to.
Great, sad first video. All the lurking shown, so true. I have travelling syndrome, too...
Mostly, though, I feel for kids who don´t know better. Or knew and can´t understand why it had stopped. And all those who lived from travel. Crazy, crazy times.
Iris Flavia; I know you have travelling syndrome, but things will eventually change and you will travel again. I think small kids will not know any different and think the way things are now is the way it always was and always will be. I think it's the adults who suffer the most, those who had an overseas holiday every year or two.
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...
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! 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?
The first is clever, and sadly true.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the second will become the norm for lucky travellers again.
Elephant's Child; I thought it was clever and really do hope the second will be true again sooner rather than later.
Deletehahahaha Love the first!! Dead on, and by dead I mean dead....hahaha
ReplyDeleteLinda Sue; let's not be dead just yet. Well, the virus can be dead. I'm not a travelling type myself, but I don't like the idea that I can't if I should want to.
DeleteClever, putting them together.
ReplyDeleteJoanne; I was only looking for the second one, but when I saw the first, they just had to go together.
DeleteThat first one was just the smile i needed. We should be able to travel again sometime soon.
ReplyDeletemessymimi; I'm not a traveller, but I do know people who are missing not being able to take off for other parts.
DeleteThat's hilarious, LOL!
ReplyDeleteDebra She Who Seeks; welcome to drifting. I hoped people would like it.
DeleteWith my bank account I won't be doing much traveling.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Dora; same here and I don't travel anyway.
DeleteThat's very cleverly done.
ReplyDeleteAndrew; I thought so too.
DeleteFirst one is beautifully done...like them both.
ReplyDeleteMargaret D; thank you.
DeleteGreat, sad first video. All the lurking shown, so true.
ReplyDeleteI have travelling syndrome, too...

DeleteI have a hard time with spoofs. Especially if I like the original which in this case I do.
