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?
Or he is one of Putin's toadies and is calling it a different name...
ReplyDeletea rehearsal? Weapons checking operation?
DeleteHe is either ignorant and has no access to media or a professional liar. Sad times are these.
ReplyDeleteArkansas Patti; I'll choose professional liar.
DeleteI believe they are calling it a "special military operation".
ReplyDeleteJulie; welcome to drifting. There's nothing special about this operation. A murderous takeover is what it is in my opinion.
DeleteSir, a war by any other name stinks as badly.
ReplyDeletemessymimi; yes it does, we can smell way down here under the equator.
DeletePutin is working hard to keep his war on his terms. I hope we squeeze the life from him.
ReplyDeleteJoanne; I'm hoping for a fatal heart attack when no one is around to help him, or maybe a brain aneurysm.
DeleteI have personal list horrible people, and Putin is one of them.
ReplyDeleteDora; my horrible list is short, but Putin is definitely on it.
DeleteOh dear me, not good.
ReplyDeleteHow can he sleep at night (or whenever).
ReplyDeleteIris Flavia; he has no conscience, also no heart and no soul.
DeleteI do think he is sick. His hands were shivering as I saw him in the news yesterday. Parkinson (also in the brain?!!!).
DeleteWord games!
