Things that make you go "Hmm"

Here's a pic I took today:
Damsel fly

Insects and things can make you think sometimes. The other day, my wife spent some time trying to let a butterfly out the window before we closed it and went out to work. As she pointed out at the time, she would't have been bothered for a moth.

Earlier today, I closed my eyes, put my hands together, and prayed, as I have not done for years. Like so many people in the world, perhaps I only pray when I want something, but I prayed for AnnieSeed. If you are going to try, it might as well be for something really worth while.
Later, it occurred to me that while I was there, perhaps I should have thanked him for guiding Hanni. Shortly after that, it also occurred to me that perhaps I shold have considered our own problems. Oh well, one thing at a time ;)
I will try to keep on praying for Annie.

In one short day, I appear to have acquired a bit of a blister on my hand. Perhaps too much swingball with my sister ;) Used to enjoy playing that yeeears ago with her. It's much better now she doesn't try to cheat ;) (She was young, I was older, and better... And boy was she a sore loser! :)
Found some old badminton stuff too, which we tried for a bit, but there wasn't really the space in the garden. Not to mention the fact that we were all useless at it. But, err, blame that on the lack of space, the bright sunshine, and the random wind ;) Honest! ;)

Oh, and it turns out I almost have more time to write at the moment. Much easier with the laptop and a quiet corner :)

  3. Oh I'm not SAYING she was a sore loser... She WAS a sore loser ;)

    I think even she admits now that she was, shall we say, not a fan of losing ;)

    But my sister and I get on much much better ever since I moved out and we have large city inbetween us ;)

    I enjoy taking pictures, although I don't think I am quite as obsessed as Suzie ;)

    Later, I took a few pictures of some damsel flies that were gettin' it ooon, but I don't think those pics came out quite as well.

    I suppose that's insect porn :)
