Shadow Shot Sunday #173

From the outside, looking in. Colourful succulents.
It's Shadow Shot Sunday again - time to look at other shots.
Longing for PEACE in this world of ours while we remember 9/11.

Sorting out

Spent the last few days sorting out what Glen & I have in the way of art that we can show tomorrow week at Capricorn House. Will be getting some work framed, but these are unframed (mat & mount).

TRY Family History

New Blog to check out. Anyone (all over the world) interested in genealogy could you please have a look at TRY Family History for me. I will be adding post's about a couple of times a week. If you have any web sites you can recommend please let me know. I hope all the links work.

My latest discovery on (I think) my BECK side was this Codicil for John Beck in 1824.

Talking 'bout Books in September

Next lot of books to read. 

Haven't had much time this week - still reading 'Once Upon a Hill' by Glenn Patterson (very interesting Irish history), still dipping into 'Blogging for Dummies' (watch this space!) & haven't started 'Miss O'Dell' - see last weeks post.

'Walk the Lines' by Mark Mason recommended by Fresh Eyes on London (more London facts than you could shake an A to Z at!), 'Miss Savidge Moves Her House' told her house was to be demolished to make way for a bypass, she had other ideas & dismantled it & moved it to Norfolk - she was 60! The other book to dip into is 'Superfoods' (got to get fit!).

Talking 'bout Books in August, again.

Picked up yesterday - from the library, 'Fast, Fun & easy Fabric Postcards', 'Blogging for Dummies', 'Miss O'Dell', 'Holfords Liver Detox', 'Once upon a Hill' & from the Op Shop ' The Reef' by Di Morrissey & 'Hazel's Journey'.
 'Once upon a Hill' is proving to be very interesting if anyone is into family history (especially Ireland).

Talking 'bout Books in August

Broken Lives is a Book Club book, it is about a West Oz guy who went on a killing spree (not exactly a bedtime story!) I'm half way through but will have to find time during the day to finish it! Last night I began My Bonnie (about dementia). The Messenger will have to wait a bit & the other books are for dipping into.
