Daily Challenge - what have you seen today?
working on the theory that writers need to be observant, people things and places, here's a daily challenge for you. See if you can come on here and leave a note of at least one outstanding/extraordinary/touching/offbeat/heartwarming/whatever thing you have seen during your day.
Today, for me, it is the baby in a buggy wearing a huge pair of sunglasses. He looked unbelievably cute!

Kado and Wilts, bird spotting!
How did that happen? Who decided it? Has nothing been learned?
"speechless"
Yes that just about sums him up ;)
If that had been a goat instead of a sheep, I could have said your kitten didn't have any respect for his elders and butters!!
LOL :)
the thing I saw this morning, on my way to work, was the flash-flash warning from a fellow lady driver to tell me there was a police speed trap down the hill ... when I go to lunch later, I may see more good things, who knows? Oh, that is apart from the delightful faces of the two Siamese cross cats here, especially Falataf who is shy and distrusting and coming to me more and more as I use a 'proper' name for her, not her silly soft toy name (Flopsy) which I am told she does not like!
An open boat emerging wraithlike from the sea mist around Bawden Rocks, the orange jackets of the two fisherman on board forming a bright, intrusive splash of colour against a blue-grey background.
But it's mainly people and their behaviour that are of most interest and of most use to my writing. For example watching my step-son playing a skilful game of 'Yes, but...' when being bombarded with advice from his godmother who was too insensitive to realise that he didn't want or need advice, merely an opportunity to have a good moan about his flatmates.
But all that was yesterday...
The sun shining on a magpie, who was trying to chase a pigeon in our garden, in order to have the sole possession of pieces of bread I had thrown out. A squirrel burying nuts in the garden and another with a worm (!), hiding behind a bush, every now and then dropping it and picking it up (the worm, not the bush).
I saw a little boy chasing after an Ice cream truck. God knows why the boy thought he could catch it and why was the truck driving about anyway. It's not summer! It's not even spring, I still call this winter.
Today's sight, a toddler staggering around the fresh grass with a loving father watching over him. Sheer delight.
STF, Mr Whippy is ALWAYS at my park :) whatever the wevver
On the way to the shops I saw one cat giving another cat a wash down. So sweet.
Echo just attacked a dead leaf and ended up walking into the door. D'oh!
And she was clearly not wearing anything underneath them.
And they were very close fitting.
She may as well have been naked.
Probably not but as I think I would have wanted to poke my eyes out after what Heather saw I will stick to my rather nice men in uniform.
I quite like leggings-and I'm not so young-however I always wear a longer top. I can never get my head around the number of women, of all shapes, sizes and ages, who wear leggings and never look in a mirrow before leaving the house. As Heather says they might as well be naked!! Leggings have their place, but PLEASE LOOK IN A MIRROR ;)
