Yesterday was Thurday and once again l forgot to post. My goodness l am getting forgetfull.Personally l think it is because Tony has retired, and so is home all time and we forget the day!!!
Anyway please pretend today is Thursday and the word is CIRCLE. Circle is one of the first things apart from lines, you see children scribbling from a young age. The cicle is in our alphabet and in our numbers system. In fact circles..(round)...are everywhere. We have many saying with the word circle in them. Here are a few, a circle of friends, a circle of light, going round and round in circles, we have a round of golf, roundabouts, a round robin, a doctor makes his rounds of the ward in a hospital and so on and so on!
I was thinking l would maybe take an image of a roundabout but that proved more difficult than you would think. Getting high enough to take the whole roundabout proved impossible to do. I thought maybe l could go up into a building and look down on one. Found ones with no buildings high enough near them and then found one with a building, but couldn't get permission to get in!!!!!
Thinking hat on Lynda. OK .....then l thought about the large O l had seen written on the road the other day near my home, so went back and ..would you believe it, it had been tarmaced over. Another idea bites the dust.
I was begining to think l would have to be boring and do a letter or the number 0 on something that was written on paper or was up on a sign. Then as l was walking past a skip, l noticed a blue plastic bag. One of the reasons l noticed it was because l love that shade of blue. Looking more closely l realised l had my circle. Inside the blue translucent plastic bag were so pulled crackers, on those crackers was a design which incorporated cicles!
