Drifting through life

On Wednesdays , assorted people have been taking monthly turns at putting up a selection of six (or twelve) words which is called “Words for Wednesday”. We have taken over this meme from Delores , who had been having computer problems This month the meme continues here , at Drifting Through Life. Essentially the aim is to encourage us to write.     Each week we are given a choice of prompts: which can be words, phrases, music or an image.    What we do with those prompts is up to us:   a short story, prose, a song, a poem, or treating them with ignore... Some of us put our creation in comments on the post, and others post on their own blog.   We would really like it if as many people as possible joined in with this fun meme.      If you are posting on your own blog - let us know so that we can come along and read your masterpiece. I’m hopeless at poetry so I always do a story. It’s a fun challenge…why not jo...

Alan Jackson: Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer Charlie Pride: Santa and the Kids Tin Lids: Christmas Day the three young singers are Mahalia, Jackie and Eliza-Jane Barnes, children of Australian rocker Jimmy Barnes. followed by some Merry Christmas wishes: I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas and a wonderfully Happy New Year.

Just one more sleep kids, so you'd better get to sleep early.  You've all been good, right? Santa's Elves are watching. Today's songs: Jim Reeves Silent Night Glee Kids: Deck The Rooftop (Halls) and a more traditional version: Deck the Halls Thursday Thoughts? Not today. I'm not at home today, I'm spending the afternoon and evening with my niece G and my great nephew E.  E is 2 and 1/4 now, so might be a little more excited about Christmas than he was last year, when to him it was just a day with people visiting to eat dinner and give him things wrapped in bright coloured paper.  It's going to be a lovely day.

Counting down the hours yet? I bet the kids are! Today's song selection: Martina McBride O Holy Night Glee Kids: Kurt (Chris Colfer) and Blaine (Darren Criss) Baby It's Cold Outside  

It’s Wednesday!      And December.    Which means it is my turn to provide you all with words to challenge your minds. Write a story, write a poem; the choice is yours.  Post it here in the comments, or on your own blog, it doesn’t have to be today, but please leave a note in the comments here so we can all find you and read your creation. Here are the words: Brilliant Expert Healthier Radar Ecological Sneak And/or: Living alone and lonely in damp little cottages.

Welcome back to Whimsical Wednesday! The day for your googled giggle that gets you over the hump that  Wednesday and sliding down into the weekend.

a little blurry except for the fourth photo which is more blurry, I took these through the screen door and the birds were moving about a lot. Adults are black and white, young birds still have some grey/black colour in the wings. one adult, one junior adult finishing the bit of bread he'd picked up coming back for another piece this is the blurrier one, the adult had just placed a piece of bread in the junior's beak, or was just about to. the first adult, he has more white on his (her?) wings junior and dad, or maybe it's mum. junior looking at bread chunks, and walking off with one, you can just make it out at the end of his beak. I would have liked to open the door and take the photos, but by the time I got the camera, Angel was on the doormat and I didn't want him chasing this little family away. Here is Angel's method of coping with the recent heatwave: sleeping, sleeping, and sprawled on my unmade bed, sleeping. ...
