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 David M. Gascoigne and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. coveted 2. single 3. lunch 4. chance 5. wallet  and/or:  1. earned 2. sense 3. school 4. pester 5. owner also including Charlotte's (https://krydderuglen.blogspot.com)  colour of the month: bright red orange. Sadly I am unable to change the colour of the text 😢 Here is my story: From early childhood, Elise had known to not pester her parents for things they simply couldn’t afford. Her dad had a full-time job, and her mu

Reincarnated?

 I saw this over at Granny Annie's and loved it. Once again I am unable to link,  https://granan10.blogspot.com It seems there are rumours that Michael Jackson is reincarnated. You decide: Yes? No? If the video doesn't show, find it at you Tube: type in:  Duck Moonwalk - Beat It

Sunday Selections #690

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. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. I apologise for being unable to link any sites, blogger is having problems. "no-one" got a great photo of this month's full moon one of the changing leaves on her pear tree in my own garden maost of the leaves have fallen off the plum trees and carpeted the ground below through the trees you can see my "mushroom" which is actually a "fly agaric" toadstool, fake of course. someone left some broken pavers at the d

This is how the teaset works

Image
  you all remember the tea-set I received for Mother's Day? This is it, still in the box. unpack all the pieces the teapot lifts out of the cup the steeper/strainer has holes in the base into that add however much dried tea leaves you prefer, this is a teaspoon of dried chamomile flowers place it back into the teapot, pour in boiling water and put the lid on then let it steep until the tea is the strength you like. I use a fine wire strainer when pouring the tea into the cup to filter out finer particles and add a teaspoon of honey as well.  To store it neatly without taking up too much space just pack it all together again once you have washed and dried it.
