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.
Nothing very exciting this week, I have to get busy and sort all the latest photos...
Did you know: In 1814 eight Londoners were drowned when almost 1.5 million litres of beer flooded out from the Horse Shoe Brewery.
my last remaining flannelette shirt
looking not so good anymore
destined to soon join its brothers in the rag bag for cleaning paint brushes and spills.
I bought this carved wooden tablespoon measure at the Brickworks Markets back when it still was an actual market place
But I do love the mix of colours
and it is designed to be hung so it won't get lost in the drawer.
there it is hanging in the corner
while their "renovation" was happening, "Look what I found" said Riley
"a baby capybara! in the rhubarb pot"
spirited debate on what to feed a baby capybara
hurry and decide please, I'm getting hungry
the pale pink oleanders are flowering profusely
looking up at some of the higher blooms
I like the darker pink striping in the center petals
my erigeron (seaside daisies) was going gangbusters too until the "gardeners" came around and slashed things, but it will bounce back, it always does, it's hardy.
I'd say that you have definitely got your money's worth out of that flannelette shirt! Love the fancy carved spoon and the cute capybara!
ReplyDeleteGostei de ver a capivarinha, as flores lindas e tua camisa que foi bem usada e aproveitada! beijos, tudo de bom,chica
ReplyDelete"Stories later arose of hundreds of people collecting the beer, mass drunkenness and a death from alcohol poisoning a few days later."
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about the water and beer. That's sad. The shirt is nice. Will you cut it up and make it into something else? I just a bunch of jeans up. And I have my eye on some discount cotton shirts. Didn't pick them up yet.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting post. I didn't know about the water and beer.
ReplyDeleteDrowned by beer. What a way to go. I love that carved spoon. How exciting, the redheads have a pet! Your shirt reminds me of Old Baby Blue, my raggedy sweatshirt, to whom I finally had to say goodbye.
ReplyDeleteWe have those daisies on our patio. You can't kill 'em.
ReplyDeleteI had to look up the London beer flood. It was indeed a thing:
