here is mine.......




A is for....
Atonement!







I thought I had everything sorted for my A post!
In fact I had planned the majority of my alphabet photographs one night whilst having a bath!
But things change!
I think I am going to try and keep my ABC Wednesday contributions as spontanious and current as possible, it is more fun like that.
My original idea was to use photographs taken round the house and garden, but this is when I found I was deciding what to photograph months ahead.
This doesn't allow for the unexpected./spontanety hence the change of mind.

If you look closely at the photograph you will see the date on the Evening Gazette...
yes, Tuesday 22nd January...the day the Oscar nominations were published...yesterday!
Atonement is a keen favourite, nominated for 7 categories.

Ian McKewan..........hmmmmmmmmmmmmm yes THE Ian McKewan!
Famous author, multiple award winner!

In all of my 25 years+ spent as a teacher, without a doubt the VERY BEST book I ever read with a class was "The Daydreamer" the first children'snovel Ian McKewan wrote.
It is the story of a 10 year old! Peter Fortune.

promise me, you will read it.............
you will cry with laughing!
This was really a wonderful book.
The chapter..."The Bad Doll" will have you screaming with memories from your youth....
The Chapter about the family cat will be the best account of the death of a family pet you will ever read. Priceless.

One of our nearby local cinemas was used as a set for the film and in fact a colleague of mine, Nick Murray was an extra.




Nick presents the Saturday afternoon radio broadcast on our local Hospital Radio.
I am a regular contributor to the show. I have a "green" slot where I talk about ways we can improve our environmental awareness. I will be appearing next on March 1st where I will share some environmentally friendly cleaning tips.

You can read Nick's account of the filming here
The date you need to find is Sunday August 27th 2006.

Also on Nick's web page is a list of podcasts of the radio show.
You can listen to one of my interviews if you click on "Going Green with Mrs Nesbitt!"

So here we are ABC Wednesday round 2!
I look forward to travelling around the globe and seeing the amazing creative angles you will all use in finding incredibly unique "A" subjects.

I am going to try and be as spontaneous as possible....
Watch this space!

LOL!

Spontaneity

oh, to be spontaneous in everything I do
no pondering, no worrying, no wondering what’s true
when I connect to Spirit, that’s how easy life can be
for Spirit knows so much more than either you or me

it doesn’t mean I turn my back and pretend that I don’t see
it doesn’t mean I choose to lack responsibility
I live my life just as before, no one will have a clue
that I am guided from within and live each day anew

the difference in perspective is I’ve let go of the past
and every experience is different from the last
we carry so much baggage that our shoulders sorely sag
we’re stooped and bent and surly just like a mean old hag

when we look for problems and expect the very worst every day becomes a struggle, every action has been cursed isn’t it much better to release that heavy load respond with spontaneity, it’s a truly enlightened road

Good Luck ma'm

Oscar night!

A cheery start to the week!
All together now

We got sunlight on the sand,
We got moonlight on the sea,
We got mangoes and bananas
You can pick right off the tree,
We got volleyball and ping-pong
And a lot of dandy games!
What ain't we got?
We ain't got dames!

We get packages from home,
We get movies, we get shows,
We get speeches from our skipper
And advice from Tokyo Rose,
We get letters doused with perfume
We get dizzy from the smell!
What don't we get?
You know darn well!

We have nothin' to put on a clean white suit for
What we need is what there ain't no substitute for...

There is nothin' like a dame,
Nothin' in the world,
There is nothin' you can name
That is anythin' like a dame!

We feel restless, we feel blue,
We feel lonely and in grief,
We feel ev'ry kind of feelin',
But the feelin' of relief
We feel hungry as the wolf felt
When he met Red Hiding-hood
What don't we feel?
We don't feel good!

Lots of things in life are beautiful, but brother,
There is one particular thing that is nothin' whatsoever
In any way, shape or form like any other.

There is nothin' like a dame,
Nothin' in the world,
There is nothin' you can name
That is anythin' like a dame!

Nothin' else was built the same,
Nothin' in the world
As the soft and wavy frame
Like the silhouette of a dame!

There is absolutely nothin' like a frame of a dame.

So suppose that dame and bride
Are completely free from flaws,
Or as faithful as a bird dog,
Or as kind as Santa Claus,
It's a waste of time to worry
Over things that they have not,
We're thankful for the things they got!

There is nothin' you can name
That is anythin' like a dame!

There are no books like a dame,
And nothin' looks like a dame.
There are no drinks like a dame,
And nothin' thinks like a dame,
Nothin' acts like a dame,
Or attracts like a dame.
There ain't a thing that's wrong with any man here
That can't be cured by pullin' him near
A girly, womanly, female, feminine dame!

Oooooooooooooohhhhh!

I received a message left over in my laboratory from Lisa, telling me to make sure I checked out her blog!

So as you can imagine I was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo thrilled I rushed out and bought a frock and had my hair done.....


what do you think?






Firstly, I would like to thank Lisa from the bottom of my heart for her generosity, artistic brilliance and devotion to the promotion of everything that is beautiful and artistic, and for her dedication to the promotion of the order of the glitter sisters....

long may they reign!

I would like to thank Daisy, for her guidance and knowledge in chosing me to be a worthy receiver of the treasured coffee mug.
God bless you Daisy, and for your mum and dad who gave bith to such a gifted puss!

(sniff sniff!)

I would like to thank my husband Jon, my doggies Wilma and Elsie,m my own puss Ella and my goose Jo. Their encouragement allowed me to enter my name into this draw and I know I could not have done it without them, and truly believe we as a family will benefit from the pressence of the mug in my cupboard.


(sniff sniff)


To all my lovely blog readers, who visit my humble blog here in cyberspace, may God Bless you all and may sun shine on all your tomorrows.

(sniff sniff)

Finally to my mum and dad, no longer with me, but I believe they are watching, proud that their very own flossy flupipe received such an award!

(sniff sniff)







You are all welcome to the party which Wilma and Elsie prepared whilst I was out getting my hair done and buying the frock.
Appologies for the dog bowls, bless they did their best! Anybody who does not like Pedigree chum canopes, please note that Ella has provided some liver cat biscuits!
for the vegetarians,Jo has come up trumps with straw bakes.

Thank you so much, obviously the trip on the moors with Enid will be shown at a later date, watch this space!

Now enjoy the evening!
