I suspect they were letting off steam and seeing who could make the most mess for their Mother (sexist assumption here) to clean off their clothes when they got home although apparently quite a lot of clothes were obviously just abandoned. That says something about the waste and affluence of modern society.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-14569699382109755892013-05-14T06:22:05.005+01:002013-05-14T06:22:05.005+01:00Flour and eggs?

Catching up with friends and making use of the favourable weather for gardening are the best things you could have been doing, in my opinion.<br />The second picture from the top is breathtakingly beautiful. It would look great as a poster or part of a calendar or so.<br /><br />I've hardly been in blogland myself all week, but my only excuse is that I had RJ staying for most of the week, which always means spending time with him rather than at my computer.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-20435474657954222802013-05-11T10:13:09.964+01:002013-05-11T10:13:09.964+01:00Thanks Monica.

Take no notice of the readers, they all look at writing subjectively so it is impossible to tell what they will perceive as nonsense.<br />If it's any help I write nonsense most days and often my readers interpret it objectively...that can be a little embarrassing...but it does polish my diplomatic skills replying to comments. What the hell! Blogging is supposed to be fun.

The distant photo of the people, they look so teeny-tiny :)<br /><br />I haven't been blogging at all. Want to. Start to. But, my words have seemingly run from my brain when I begin typing. Or, I'll type something and think what nonsense, no one needs to hear that or cares to. I need to get back to the original home of my writing brain - the one that is open house to various thoughts all day long but I never open the door and let them out ;)<br /><br />Hi, friend!!<br />Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04693495698843336789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-52280383586665170282013-05-11T00:04:07.217+01:002013-05-11T00:04:07.217+01:00Good to see the sunshine.
