It always takes me a few weeks to accustom myself to the shortening days and falling temperatures. All week I have struggled to get up in the morning and when I drag myself out of bed I am more belligerent teenager than disco diva. Today was no exception. There is one word that concisely sumsContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Dreary”

Six on Saturday – Sunny
The weeks are shepherding us towards winter, a time when finding suitable subjects for Six on Saturday becomes increasingly difficult. The Lord of the Prop, whose mighty hand rules us SoSers, has followers from all corners of the earth and beyond. For some of us spring is just getting into its stride, whilst for othersContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Sunny”
Six on Saturday – A Challenge
When I switched my phone on this morning the first thing I saw was a message from my sister-in-law “have you two tied yourselves to the house?”. Curious. And then it dawned on me, the news of our very own cuddly Storm Callum had reached the Netherlands. For your information we are managing to stayContinue reading “Six on Saturday – A Challenge”
Six on Saturday – The Builders Are Coming …….
September, how did that happen? This “time passing” malarkey is quite disturbing sometimes. It is Six on Saturday time once more. What Andrew Lloyd Webber is to musical theatre, The Prop is to the Meme. But much more handsome. Take a look at his blog and marvel at some of his greatest hits, the divasContinue reading “Six on Saturday – The Builders Are Coming …….”
Six on Saturday – Wise Words
Another day, another Six on Saturday. As I am on a jolly holiday trip today I have risen very, very, very early* to contribute to this popular meme, for fear of the wrath of The Emperor Prop if I should miss another week**. Due to my extreme rushdom these photos could have done with aContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Wise Words”
Six on Saturday – Ruthless
Beware, I am in a ruthless mood today. Inhabitants of the garden that have not been performing to my exacting standards have been extradited to the green bin. Oleander that has never flowered, promised once but was only joking – Out! Dead stick thing that has been in extensive care for so long the labelContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Ruthless”
Six on Saturday – Rush 2
The chilli is made, the guest room is ready, the shopping done, the fridge well stocked and the washing is on the line. That leaves me a small window of opportunity to contribute to this week’s Six on Saturday before my nephew and his girlfriend arrive to stay for a couple of days. Take aContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Rush 2”
Six on Saturday – Raindrops keep falling on my flowers
Someone must have speeded the film up. It can’t possibly be Saturday again. There is so much to cram into every week, it doesn’t seem fair that the time seems to pass more quickly at this time of year. As we are pondering this anomaly, puzzled looks on our faces, gaining yet more wrinkles,Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Raindrops keep falling on my flowers”
Six on Saturday – Angels and Demons
Hip hip hooray, it’s another Saturday! I’ve had a haircut and a bowl of chips with mayonnaise and now I am ready for anything. Even a Six on Saturday. No idea what I am talking about? Where have you been? Lost in the Bornean jungle, or Ikea’s soft furnishing department? Don’t worry, Sir Propalot willContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Angels and Demons”
Six on Saturday – Another One
Another Six on Saturday. Another introduction to main man, The Prop. Another invitation to join us. Another attempt to take photographs that conceal the slug ravaged, garden mayhem that is my reality. Here we go …. Firstly we have Rhodohypoxis baurii. With minimum (read no) effort, these little charmers come up every spring and flower theirContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Another One”
