I saw these today at RHS Rosemoor and as I know nothing about orchids I’ll just show you.

Jake’s Sunday Post: Focussed Attention
http://jakesprinters.wordpress.com/2013/01/27/sunday-post-focused-attention/ Jake says Focused attention is the cognitive process of selectively concentrating on one aspect of the environment while ignoring other things. Attention has also been referred to as the allocation of processing resources.
I’m bringing you some photos which I hope fit the bill.
How do you do?
I have my eye on you
She needed to pay attention to show me!
Ah, that red section is next!
I can only afford to buy one

I found this today on a shop window in Sidmouth. Perhaps this small stone belongs to the young man rather than to me, but I still wanted to share it because it touched me. I am impressed by his thinking, especially about the large supermarkets.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Love
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/01/25/weekly-photo-challenge-love/
Love is the topic this week, I hope it’s all around and that you love my love.
I love my ball, I’m very proud of it
I’ll just carry it over here!
No I don’t mind the mud because I love my ball
I don’t want to bring it back thanks
I love my ball so I think I’ll just bury it safely thank you

Two hundred years ago on Monday, one of my all time favourite novels was first published. Over the course of the day the whole novel will be read in Bath by a group of fans, experts and writers. They are hoping to find an internationally famous actress to read the first chapter – no doubt in period costume and the event, lasting twelve hours, will be broadcast on the internet! Isn’t that wonderful? I so wish I could be there.
If you didn’t already know, have you guessed yet?
It’s Miss Austen of course, Pride and Prejudice was published on January 28th 1813! I hope to catch some of the broadcast even though Emma is my real favourite. Lots of you probably think I’m crazy, but I can’t be the only one with bosom heaving at the thought of Mr D emerging from the lake? Can I? Come on ‘fess up.

A window of blue sky
Makes me smile
Walking home in daylight
Makes me smile
Walking with red sunset on my left
After days of white cloud
Makes me smile
Walking with gibbous moon on my right
After days of grey rain
Makes me smile
Walking home for a four day weekend
MAKES ME LAUGH MY SOCKS OFF!

January Small Stone# Twenty Three
‘If there’s snowing hanging around
on the ground
mark my words
there’s more to come down’
So said my lovely old man at eight o’ clock this morning. ‘No’ said I, ‘The forecast says it’s getting milder.’
It’s what they’ve always said
you mark my words.’
‘Keep warm dear.’ I hope I see him in the morning, by then the last bits will have washed away from the city paths.
Wordless Wednesday
