14 Going on 16

#MayWriteABit 2020 day 14, 15, 16 Catching up again!  I’ve had very little inspiration for this sequence, certainly not enough for one post each, so it makes sense to do another combo post. The main thing that comes to mind are memories of the horrible ages of 14 15 and 16, those awful growing up … Continue reading 14 Going on 16

Luck both good and bad

2018 packed and left, and we’re already nearly two weeks into 2019! I haven’t done any summing up, or ‘best of’ posts, so I spent some time this afternoon looking at statistics and browsing rapidly through this year’s posts to see what’s what. Ready?

Steamy Windows!

Not Tina Turner [grrrr-owl] but Steampunk of course.  Lincoln’s Weekend at the Asylum, 2018.  This is a long post, I’ve pinched lots of pictures from Facebook because we NEVER see all the best stuff!  It should have been posted a few days ago, but IMGUR went wonky and I couldn’t attach any pictures.  Enjoy! We … Continue reading Steamy Windows!
