 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 overseas bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I occasionally join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to them and have a look. Shall we spend the day with the girls? Gillian: look at this toy Mum bought for the new twins Riley: it's got yellow shapes inside Jordan: I'll see if I can get one out Jordan: I can't quite get a grip Jordan: I can fit my legs all the way in!  Gillian: but that won't help us get the shapes out Jordan: help me out then Jordan: mum says we have to pull both of these yellow handles at the same time Meg: the other one is way down under, we can't pull it from there Meg...

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 Wisewebwoman and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. battery  2. remain  3. age  4. bite  5. produce  6. workshop  7. forest  8. critic Here is my story: The neighbourhood critic stood by her garden gate telling everybody who would listen her version of the latest scandal.
