Sunday Selections #651

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. Beginning with things I saw on my way to the dentist (yes, again the dentist and I'm going next Wednesday too) this moreton bay fig tree by the footpath in the grounds of Fullarton Park this blank spot is supposed to be a hollow log this is the other end of the hollow log, these were left to return to the earth as nature intended after being cut from a dying (?) tree years ago another hollow log this sign is close to the house and near the driveway and I don't remember what it says....

Wednesday's Words on a Friday

Image
  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 Messymimi and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. employee 2. chaos 3. decide 4. water 5. immune 6. buffet  and/or:   1. prepence (premeditated or planned in advance) 2. pelf (wealth often dishonestly acquired) 3. coxcom ( a dandy, a vain or conceited man) also including Charlotte's colour of the month: luminous bright red which I have used as neon Here is my story: There was total chaos in the employee lunch room as Bill and George yelled at each other, with Ann b...

Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Starting today with a couple of older photos from 2014 Me holding a koala at the Cleland Wildlife Park, these koalas are carefully chosen and well fed before the "holding time", I was surprised by just how heavy he was! still in the park, I climbed up onto this turtle statue just for laughs, I'm a lot fatter now but could probably still manage it, I'm reasonably agile. Back to the future present now: the buds on the caribbean lily have begun to open in a different sectio...

Drop in to their blogs and have a look. I put this here in case anyone wants to know just how old their pet is, I picked it up in the vet waiting room several years ago. Found this in Woolies and thought I'd give it a try, it is yummy! the very nice lamps in the dentist waiting room, I'd love to have these in my home. the two small gnomes that needed minor repairs have markings on the backs and a number, this one is 938 and this is 937, from Heissner, West Germany. I don't know if that is a place or the maker. Lola s...
