When I started to write something for the theme I was all ready to get into something warm and positive and happy. Thinking of all the songs that use Sunshine to indicate happiness, joy, the source of life. As Spring is a’coming in for the Northern hemisphere, everyone is talking of the first really sunny […]
I know it’s not quite Friday yet, but I have an early start tomorrow. For some it’s supposed to be spring. With it’s usual teenage hormonal rampages it seems to have been erratic in the extreme. For us in this hemisphere (it’s actually the upper one – I’ll explain when asked), it is of course […]
Trolls, not the kind Bilbo Baggins or Harry Potter knew, but those we have all seen on the internet. Reading some comments on a news thread this weekend I was struck by how many of these trolls are actually uncouth, rude, mannerless.

I remember the day, a bit over 10 years ago. There was to be an eclipse of the sun, a TOTAL one within driving range. We went (driving through the night) and standing on a rocky hillock along with many others, waited and watched. The moment of total greyness, looking through various protective type devices, […]
Thinking of the most elusive photographs took my mind along many byways. I thought of some I have seen: a fox licking the window a cat leaping a ghost the moon Someone has done them all. But then I thought of the most […]
It is Friday, end of the first 5 day week for me for a while. Time for the weekend theme. It has been elusively lurking at the back of my mind, now I know why. How to play along – create a post using the theme in some way. Then come back here and leave […]
