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. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. beginning with the Calendar page for June which I forgot to show at the beginning of the month followed by the calendar page for July which I think is a prettier one The jades (crassula) in my garden have begun flowering here we have a couple of my garden "pets" Roscoe (dog) and Rosie (cat) Roscoe's nose has been replaced since the original rusted away to nothing while Rosie's face seems fine. Both have rusted away feet bur...

  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 Hilary Melton-Butcher and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. banal 2. bows 3. canyon 4. dough 5. observant  and/or:   1. fulminating 2. beady 3. margarine 4. suit 5. brazen (guess which word I didn't use) Also including Charlotte's colour of the month: signal green Here is my story: Cheryl, celebrating her seventieth birthday, kneaded yet another batch of dough in her quest to master the art of breadmaking. Her pet rat, Rudy, watched with his observant beady litt...

 I feel I must apologise for something which isn't even my fault.  I haven't left a single comment anywhere today because at every single blogpost, including my own, I got this: "an error ocurred ..." better luck tomorrow eh?

R and V are home again so there will be no new road trip photos, though I may sometimes put in one or two that didn't get shown. But not today. A short selection today: a moody sky to match my mood when I had to return to the shops because I forgot the milk a ceramic cat in the Frameworks shop window mural spotted through the window of the bus, traffic was stopped at a red light or I might have missed this. this in...

 We made these for weekend lunches and after school snacks in winter when I was much younger, and I still make them now. Made them for my own kids too. start with your non-stick frypan turn the heat to high two lightly buttered slices of bread pre-sliced cheese but NOT that individually wrapped stuff, that's awful. You can slice your own cheese if you prefer to not buy pre-sliced. two slices of cheese (one is okay but two is better) two spatulas for turning the sandwich put one slice of bread into the hot pan, buttered side DOWN add the cheese add the second slice of bread buttered side UP, let it brown on the underside one spatula under the sandwich to flip it, the other holding the second slice of bread in place let the second side brown. If you flip too soon and it isn't browned enough just flip it back place the sandwich on the upper half of a folded piece of paper towel fold the paper up to hold the sandwich so your fingers don't get greasy. Yum.  Don't forget to t...
