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.
Glad we have art, Eh? Clever. I´m a dinosaur I watch programs on television (but it´s on the PC - really must get rid of our "TV" - my work gear is in front, LOL)
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.
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. In memory of Elephant's Child, the meme is now continued by myself and 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. Starting this week with a "wish" who remembers cupping one of these in the palm of your hand, making a wish and then blowing it away? If it flew up and away your wish was supposed to come true. I dug around in the pot where I had planted pieces of a sprouting potato and came up with these tiny morsels, the coffee mug is for size reference. Did I already show this recently?

Charlotte's colour of the month for May is Gold : The colour of sunshine, daffodils, little yellow dandelions before they become puffballs, baby chicken and ducklings too are golden . the pan is prepared, the ingredients are measured and ready, look at those gloriously golden egg yolks, and the golden butter, let's mix and bake just out of the oven, a golden lemon ricotta cake time to take off the paper, and see it ...
Welcome to 2026! I hope this is a good year for everyone, hopefully even better than last year. Try not to fall over folks, it's not fun. 🌞🎈🎉 Coming to you from sunny Australia, that big lump of land under the equator. Sunday Selections will be continuing, hosted by me , participation is optional, if you can't manage every week for any reason, that's okay. Words for Wednesday will also be continuing, hosted by me , and again, participation is optional, play when you can, take a break when you need to. Charlotte will be providing a colour for each month as she did last year, we try to use the colour somewhere in our posts, either photographing something with that colour or using it in another way. This month's colour is Carmine: Isn't that just gorgeous? And why is my text in two different sizes?
I like them :-)

DeleteSmiling. And I remember the time that programs were on television...

ReplyDeletehels; I was four then and had no idea tv even existed.
DeleteI love that first one!
ReplyDeleteBob; because it's so true?
DeleteYes, the first one is good.
ReplyDeleteAndrew; yes it is.
DeleteAnd if the earth were flat, cats would push everything off the edge.
ReplyDeleteJoanne; 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.
