Drifting through life

 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 their blogs and have a look.

  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 Lissa and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. wonderland 2. squander 3. brisk 4. postcards 5. wait 6. stall 7. leftover Also including Charlotte's colour of the month which is ' white ' This week's story is a further chapter to Tom's story which I began almost six years ago now in April 2017. when I last left that story, winter was setting in, this chapter is several months ahead in early summer. Here is my story: It was early summer and the tourist season was on...

Drop in to their blogs and have a look. I haven't linked Elephant's Child as she is taking a break. Beginning this week with several photos from 2013 when I visited my brother in Western Australia, the first few from Hillary's Boat Harbour: boats and clouds reflected in the water more boats rows of Holiday Units available for rental, I'm not sure if they still are, it has been ten years. masts against the sky a cormorant drying his wings in the sun isn't he pretty! away from Hillary's Boat Harb...

Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Elephant's Child is taking a well-earned break this month so won't be joining us. some of you may remember this very colourful piano from years ago, several of them were placed around the city during "Arts" week, I think and people were encouraged to sit and 'tickle the ivories'. I found this old photo when looking for something else, a personal fan, which didn't work for very long, even after replacing the batteries it didn't spin the blades....
