BBRRRRR...

Well, that was nice while it lasted

after record breaking temperatures yesterday

and warm balmy breezes

sunshine and blue skies

the wind picked up

in the evening

changed direction

and

old man winter

blew back in

there are still shadows from the sun

but the wind is cold and brisk

and

we're back to shivering

so "she's" going to be

warm and toasty in her outfit

BTW

the picture I posted on Flickr

made it into

Explore yesterday

she was found

Interesting

by whatever it is that chooses photos

hee hee!!

I do still wonder what it is that chooses the photos

some computer generated doohickey that I don't understand

she was 219 of 500

whatever that means

Sammy will have to find a ray of sun and load up on the seed

and I think he'll have to share with the others this time!!

but there is always the hope

that it won't last too long

even though there is a chance of

SNOW

next week

I will still consider these past few days

an Early Spring

because that feeling is still there

it's just colder

but we all know that that happens

so all we have to do is

WAIT

and it will come!!

While I wait for the new yummy needles to arrive

and they are on their way

yea

I was thinking about doing some crocheting

there is a new trend appearing all over the place

Japanese flowers from a book that has been out for a while

won't show it or the pictures of the flowers

because the copy write thingy ma do

has been "breached" and all the postings of the pattern taken down

and I'm not sure about the flower pictures

but there has been some discussion

again

about posting things that shouldn't be posted

because of said

copy write

copyright.

(edited because spelling stalin pointed out I had spelt/spelled it wrong/wrongly

not knowing when it's on purpose or on mistake!!!!!)

:p

a santi sana mem sab

I don't know if you noticed but I removed a tut

for something

because

when I went back to the pattern and noticed a "warning"

about reproducing the pattern in any way shape or form

I took mine down

I will respect it

and

I also don't think it's right the way some people

take a patten, make a change or two

and it suddenly becomes known as

"their" pattern

this is also discussed time and again and again

if you didn't "invent" it

don't make a claim on it

and if it becomes known with your name attached to it

correct that each time you see it.

this is one of those subjects

with no end to it

blogging is beginning to resemble a turf war

there are those who would like to dictate how to blog

or preach about being civil and courteous when commenting

duh!!!

how to design your blog to make it

"user friendly"

how many photos to load in each post

well I say

bugger off and leave us alone

if you don't have the common courtesy to be civil while commenting

if you don't like how someone designed their blog

if you don't want to look at photos

then don't go there anymore

why should it all look the same

how boring

I choose to have a white background because I like the

clean look

but if you choose to have a riot of colour and loads of gadgets loaded up and down the sides

so be it

I come to read

"you"

just as I would visit your house

and not ask you to redecorate when I come

and at the same time if you choose to hook up with

how to blog blogs

and ask your readers to join

and I don't want to

as long as you don't force me

I'll still drop by

as the French say

each to his own

(only they say it in French!!)

:) :) :) :)

blogs show who the person is and if it's all been

designed just so

and if it looks the way

someone else says it should look

then I say again

boring

my only peeve is check your spelling and grammar

sometimes it gets hard to read sentences that don't make sense or have glaring mistakes in them and they aren't corrected

so READ what you write

and if you say you don't have time

then

....

so

today  I am going to once again tidy the stash

do a little house maintenance

so to speak

and probably go to the store

to replenish what has been consumed

mostly by the little furry one

and the man of the house

it's amazing how much those two can consume

I can have a packet of biscuits (cookies) for a month

a bar of chocolate for two

I put them out last night and they are

GONE

nothing but crumbs

oh well.......

and I am not making any Japanese flowers

I did a couple yesterday

and they just aren't for me

unless I have enough

beige-y colours

:)

because the riot of colours can give me a headache

but then you know me

I'm a beige person

and again

if you choose to have a riot of colour

I'm all for it

and I enjoy seeing what you do

and sometimes I wish I could go all riot-y and bold and  brilliant

but beige people

don't

they stay safe and neutral

and that's OK too

:)
