Queen of Bizarre ~ Dreaming

I had a dream last night. I was in a location I didn't recognise but I think was meant to be my senior school (isn't that just like dreams?) Anyway I walked into this hallway and saw my doggy, Dulcie in front of me running up the stairs and I was obviously surprised which I guess means that she wasn't meant to be with me and then someone opened a door behind me and I turned around and when I turned back instead of a black and white Collie she had become black and tan and not my doggy it all! I remember telling some kids near me about it and saying " Isn't that bizarre?" and thinking I should put it on this blog! Well I'm not sure it's really bizarre except in the fact that what we dream is bizarre! Why do we dream what we dream? Some people think all dreams have meaning, others say its just our brain emptying its recycling bin (yes I spend too much time on my computer!) I believe if the dream makes sense to you, that it's something you have been worrying about then there is meaning but otherwise it's just your imagination having fun! Don't you wish you could record your dreams and make them into films or books? I do! Oh and do you dream in colour? I do!

Friendship Vignettes - Week 28 - Steps



Hi! Welcome to week 28 of Friendship Vignettes! This weeks Theme is Steps. I had the idea to take lots of pictures in Williamson Park of outside steps especially the ones set into the side of the hill in one of the outdoor Auditoriums where they stage 'Play in the Park' but we have been having some plant clearing in the park taking down trees and shrubs that aren't native to this area and replanting (still to come) plants that are native. Well that clearing gave me a unique view of the Aston Memorial Steps as I'd never seen them before! I just love the sweep or the stairs and the balustrade and that made it my favourite picture for this week!

So here are our best Photo's for this week...

Queen of Bizarre ~ TV Viewing



Yesterday evening Mum and I were watching tv as we do most evenings. We are loving 'Hawaii Five O' at the mo. So we were watching 'Hawaii' and one of the main characters was called Ben Bass.

The very next thing we watched was 'Rookie Blue' another new series and we were just getting around to watching the first episode. Well one of the actors was called Ben Bass! Ben Bass is playing Sam Swarek.


What a coincidence and definitely deserves a place on Queen of Bizarre!

Queen of Bizarre


Welcome to Queen of Bizarre! A new blog feature. A place where I can share the many bizarre things that seem to happen to me!


Here is my first bizarre offering...

This morning I was trying to decide what to spend my Uncles Christmas money on and wanted to check that I wasn't going to double up on something I thought Mum had ordered recently so I sent her an IM message (I was upstairs on my laptop she was downstairs on hers hehe)

I said ... "did you order Dr Quinn Series 2?

and didn't get an answer

So I went downstairs and Mum said " look what I've got" and just arrived in the post was series 2 of Dr Quinn!

Now tell me that's not bizarre!

Friendship Vignettes - Week 26 - Entrance

Hi! Welcome to week 26 of Friendship Vignettes! This weeks Theme is Entrance. I have almost a record low number of pictures at least since the first couple of weeks but I have had fun trying to get some good shots. Now I am aware some of them are a bit blue! I went to the park today with the doggies and my camera but as I had been uploading some pics before I went I left my sd card in my computer!! I am ditzy and no I'm not Blonde! hehe so the blue ones are taken from my phone which is set up for lighting inside as that is where I use it most but they do look interesting even if they are a bit blue! A lesson for me! Check my camera before I leave the house!! So here are our best Photo's for this week...
