Yesterday I was rudely awoken

 by loud banging on the lobby stairs as heavy trolley of some sort was bumped up to one of the flats up there. Some sort of delivery and I wasn't interested enough to wonder what. 

I was more interested by something I rarely see these days:


sunrise!


with complimentary weird horizontal lines again, but isn't it pretty?

The clouds don't look as pink as in real life.

    Hihi, I read "nudely"!!! Like the police officer said to me: "Get dressed - the house is on fire!" (I was in my PJs)
    Nice sunrise and I for sure always have clothes on ;-)

      Iris; that's funny. I always have clothes on too. It was nice to catch a sunrise, it might be the last one until next summer. Mornings here are just too cold for me now.

    That is worth waking early to see.

      Andrew; I should wake early more often, but the frosty air is not good for my lungs, I end up coughing all day.

      messymimi; early mornings used to be easy for me when I worked the opening shift at the supermarket, but now my lungs don't handle frosty air so well.

      jabblog; I almost always miss sunrise from Easter to the end of frosty mornings. This made it worth coughing half the day.

Words for Wednesday

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 River and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1.conviviality  2.adoration  3.willpower   4.mellow  5.gentle  6.guitar Have fun, don't use all the words if you can't,there's no pressure here. My story will appear on this blog on Friday as always, unless I can't write one... edit: Charlotte's colour of the month is Beauty Berry Purple.

Sunday Selections #754

 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.

I now have the original copy of his natu...
