The Daily Post Photo Challenge: Relic

What images does “relic” conjure for you? http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_pho... ******************** Ruins are what filled out headswhen planningour European voyages. While I readily admit that the word ‘relic’ doesn’t necessarily summon up the thoughtof‘ruin’, I think it does in the context of this shot. We visited the little comune of Castiglione d’Orcia; and while were clambering about […]

The definitive explanation

Here’s a video that clarifies for everyone just what kind of bloke is the current Oz P.M. Once you have viewed it – and it’s only 2’35″– you won’t have to wonder any more why Aussies are so inflamed with rage about him and his Cabinet, all of whom are arrogant beyond description. The final […]

1 Day 1 World Project: 9:00 pm – 10:00 pm

I do hope I’m allowed to do this, Lisa … http://nwframeofmind.com/2014/07/06/1... This photo was taken some months back; but it was certainly taken in the required time-period. This I know because I’d finished watching a TV program that ended at 8:30, and then finished off this moebius scarf (which I later gave to someone I […]

My workaround

You know I’ve been trying to work out how to sort my site out into a thing of clarity and purity and whatever-I-said-when-last-I-was-talking-about-this, right ? The portfolio themes are not what I had hoped they would be, damn them ! Sighh … But I came up with a workaround, of which I am singularly proud. […]

At last …!

I’ve finally managed to re-set all my follows from no email to instant email. This means as of your next posts, I’ll be advised of all of ‘em. I was obliged to use the (ugh !) Reader over the past few days, and I had to give it up in a rage: I dunno how […]

Stand by in patience, please …

I’ve had to give up on the concept of portfolios: they are not as I had hoped. So I’m experimenting a bit by using my sidebar for future categorization; and anyone with nothing to do and a curious turn of mind will wonder what the devil’s going on. Bear with me, yes ? It’ll all […]

M.R. — Busted!

Originally posted on Made by you and I:
Everyone’s favorite blogger, M.R. said she was on sabbatical, but I have photo proof of her on holiday. As my train crossed over the bridge in this more industrial area of Tokyo I saw her. Unfortunately, I had the fisheye on my camera, but I know my…

The amazing Linsey Pollak

You like jazz ? – not that weirdo stuff that wanders all over the range of notes in such a way as to make your brain separate out into its component parts, but the rhythmical and melodic stuff that was practised by musos like … oh, say, Dave Brubeck ? You like jazz that’s musical, […]

B&W Sunday: Soaring into the sky

It’s that time again, and I’m HERE for it ! Here is Paula’s lovely weekend project in black & white. Her own entry is a place I’ve been to – but not up the inside (http://wp.me/p3ZISx-1Du) ! http://bopaula.wordpress.com/2014/07/... My entry may not at first appear to fit the bill … You may say to yourselves […]

I would if I could

But I don’t know how. Bummer. I want to sort my site into portfolios. To my way of thinking, it means something along these lines: having whatever is my latest post sitting at the headof the blog, as usual settingupmyover-all categories for the portfolios with associated image icons/featured headers ensuringthat once each post is no […]
