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 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.

  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 ME and can be found right here This week's words/prompts are:  1. bewilderment  2. gossamer  3. midnight  4. windowless  5. previous  6. umbrella  7. survivor Included also is Charlotte's colour of the month which is Olive Green. Here is my story: In the pouring rain that was finally putting out the last smouldering embers, the workmen drilled at the edges of the locks on the steel door of the small windowless concrete building. A previous fire at the same residence had caused the owner to bui

 to everyone looking here for the Words for Wednesday, I am so sorry. I accidentally set it to post on Friday, but have now rectified that and the words should now be here below this post.

I took a   little   long walk along Melbourne Street in North Adelaide last week and when I downloaded the photos there were over 200! Here are a few of them: Well the photos have loaded back to front, last to first, so we'll begin with the girls today. J and S took them to the local park and this is Ana on the big slide and Gen too, they're so adventurous and willing to try just about anything. the historical plaque on the fence
