Current Crop of Queries..

Ok, the current crop of queries or questions, on my mind are not all of a ~shall we say~ 'pleasant' nature.

So I have interspersed some odd pics, to lighten the mood~ perhaps.

This is Tara. She is a Settlers Bear, which are supposedly "collectable bears". I don't care one way or another, I just like her, & her small embroidered dress. She watches me compose my posts... & I suspect she sniggers, as she reads my thoughts!

This is the "Fisherman" from some other "Collectable Hug", but I just love his air of supreme disconcern. I applaud it, because I have forgotten how VIP it is!! haha. Even though it appears he has dropped his fish!! Just too Snooty to Care!!

Here is one of the Questions.

I heard on some news bulletin, about sporting people or persons, which I dont actually regard as NEWS that some "Player" had fractured his Big Toe in (seven), 7, places!!??

WTH? How can a Big Toe have seven places??

Here follow some hideous images of my two Big Toes. One is diseased by arthritis,( I am presuming, not having had it diagnosed, professionally) one is seemingly 'normal'. Neither have been broken, to the best of my knowledge. But I still ask you, "How is it possible for a Big Toe to be broken in SEVEN places???" The mind boggles.
Supposedly "Normal" Big toe.
Hideously Abnormal Big Toe. Deformed by arthritis...one assumes

A solved mystery, about the wonderful perfume wafting over my senses, is the blooming of my Daphne Shrub. I had forgotten this is the time of year it flowers. Because it is in a garden out of sight, I forget to check upon it's growth...( which is perhaps, why) it has flourished, & survived to present me with wonderful blossom every year!

This is a blurry pic, sorry it is so indistinct. Somehow it indicates the lovely ethereal quality of the perfume.

Here it is again, slightly clearer. Such small blooms, giving such robust & gorgeous scent to our world.

Here, our wonderful reality, of days of Winter Splendour!

Our lovely Neighbours, Mr & Mrs NN, take out their neighbouring children, for a time at the Waterfront.

Could a day be more perfect?

Look at the blue sky. The blue reflected on the water in the bay. This is our local Waterfront. Paradise?

I think so.

A little girl & a dog, a sunny day, blue skies, calm conditions! Such joy in this pic!

I swear that "little dog laughed, to see such sport"

"And the dish ran away with the spoon!"

It seems to be Full Moon time again here. The dreams increse in intensity. The primal longings are perhaps awakened?

Family have health crises.

I find August to be a month of tension, trying times, & challenges. It does seem to be a recurring, tense, & highly charged time in my life.

This month will see the anniverary of my mother's death, my father's death, plus his birth, plus Gom's birthday, my fahter's birthday, & some loved rellies birthdays, & unfortunately some deaths. A very crucial month I think.

Such an old song.
I still love it today.
Sam Cooke, You Send Me.
