Camouflage and Color
In many European countries, brides wear white; in China, brides wear red.
We usually wear black to funerals. In Asia, the color is white; though only yesterday on the steps of our local church, I saw some people in white…it was a funeral.
Do you color your hair? I tried a pale blue for highlights; the colour doesn’t take on my hair???!!!
It’s blondish naturally, but going darker.
The last funeral I went to, I felt black would be too depressing, so I wore a medium color blue.
Can you see auras? They can change depending on health or our mental state.
I had an aura photographed by a psychic photographer; there were many different rainbow colours.
Two weeks ago when I visited my friend in the care home,her aura was a muddy yellow…I was shocked to see and felt afraid for her.
Not everyone can see auras.
Japan was a sea of navy blue and white, colors people wore in Tokyo.
Most people here blend into wearing black and hoodie. Tourists, lots of different colors.
In the sixties, people were colorful like rainbows. Now people want to look nondescript.
Some animals blend into the scenery and some flaunt their color,
I love to see an Indian wedding full of beautiful colors, a rich tapestry.
Sunrise and sunsets make me feel happy; the most beautiful sunsets are in Istanbul. Each country has a different type of sometimes light morning skies in WA were streaked with white and golden yellow.
What colours do you wear? Have your preferences changed over the years?
Now, people’s interiors appear stark and white; they used to be colored or patterned. I haven’t seen wallpaper in years, or colored curtains…mainly white blinds.
Stained glass used to be popular; now it only seems to be in churches, but features in my bathroom, and one kitchen window to stop people looking in.
Enjoy posting music with colors mentioned, chat with friends, post color…
Enjoy your weekend, while away the hours.

Top of the Pops and the Best of the Sixties and Seventies, What or Who Were Your Favourites?
As time goes by….A blast from the past.
Top of the Pops was a TV programme no one wanted to miss. Another programme was Juke Box Jury.
So many up-and-coming pop stars.
We all listened to Radio Luxembourg and pirate radio stations like Radio Caroline.
There was music wherever we went.
Everyone had a TV, and we also watched cartoons, Lassie, Cowboys like Roy Rogers, and believed TV could do anything.
We also loved most of our politicians and film stars like Marilyn Monroe, Robert Mitchum, and Clark Gable.
Post your favourite cartoons, film stars, Pop idols of the eras, music, and chat with friends.
Most of all, enjoy!

What are the first sounds that you hear when you wake up in the morning?
Is it magic or annoying?
Strange when snow falls, there is silence.
The first sound that I heard today was the chirping of birds or the whirring of wings, somewhere a cock crows. Then the hum of traffic emerges. The church clock strikes the hour
Perhaps a car door slams and an engine revs…I live in a town. Sometimes the blare of police sirens breaks the stillness, or lorry sounds go past my window. ( I’m sleeping in the noise due to the heat). Usually I sleep in the mill room across the garden…heaven in cooler weather, silent with walls three feet thick.
Now footsteps shuffle past, and cars unload sometimes, as there is building work next door; heavy drilling shatters the air, sometimes shouting.
In Australia, I woke up to the bush…the best sound in the world. In Italy, the Cicadas by the sea.
Perhaps a storm may wake you occasionally or the patter of rain on a window.
What sounds do you hear? Can you find music with sounds or rhythm?
Gheorgie Zamfir captures bird sounds in music; his music can make you fly through the air with pure sound.
Chat with friends, enjoy posting music and images, most of all enjoy

Swimming and Diving and Water
Where do you prefer swimming?
In the sea, in a river, or in a pool?
I used to swim in the Avon canal; it was dark and murky.
I loved the clear blue seas, swimming from a yacht in Bodrum. Boats are fun.
It was also fun rowing to the shore to buy supplies.
There are some famous lagoons and blue seas off the island I live on.
Beaches are fun places.
I prefer sandy beaches, but our island has cliffs and rocks.
If you fall into a rocky sea, swim out, as the waves could dash you on the rocks.
My Collie hated swimming; he enjoyed running along deserted beaches chasing gulls.
He got worried if I swam in deep seas. Occasionally, swam out to see if I was ok, and immediately swam back.
People love diving from high points on this island…not for me. I don’t like heights.
Neither am I an accomplished diver; I would die of fright from a high spring board.
The beaches in Western Australia were wonderful, white sands, blue seas, but look out for sharks. Fortunately, I never saw any.
I collected and dove for shells and beachcombed to make necklaces. I called my label Tsunami shells.
Everyone bought my creations. I also tiled a bathroom wall with shells, but careless builders destroyed all but a small piece of the wall.
Kennet and Avon Canal used to walk my doggo here near the city of Bath.
Midsummer's Eve, Bath, a royal city, had banquets of roasted swan. I couldn’t bring myself to eat it. But swam in the Roman Baths that evening.
