      Elephants Child; and weren't they so much better than the drivel that is called reality tv?

    I remember well when tv started in Australia in time for the Olympic Games at the end of 1956. Noone could afford a tv then, but children could stand outside a shop and watch through the windows.

      Joanne; I have never had a cat that did that, so I could live on the edge and leave the middle to the rest of you.

    Glad we have art, Eh? Clever.

      Iris; no, keep your tv, you never know when it might come in handy. Perhaps one day the internet will crash and the tv can be watched until "they" fix things.

Sunday Selections #757

 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.

Brother R came to visit and brought me some old paperwork belonging to my dad, who has been dead for 25 and a half years now.  They'd been stored in a container with moth balls and were quite stinky so I pegged them out on the clothes rack in the back porch three days later, most are now inside, but the heavier items such as dad's passports are still smelly so they are still out there. I now have the original copy of his natu...
