I'm lucky to have a built in toolkit the top of my sewing machine for all the different attachments.
Apart from all the big problems around the world today, I hear the news of the passing of Bill Withers (Lean on Me) and today's FlickrFriday topic is remarkably apt......
This week’s Flickr Friday theme is a great chance to feature a beautifully artistic or interesting ceiling. If you don’t live around the corner from the Sistine Chapel, perhaps you can find a fabulous mall or church or hospital ceiling worth photographing. Perhaps the light and shadows in your own home can make a beautiful ceiling photography.
Whatever ceiling you decide to photograph this week, be sure to add your photo to the Flickr Friday Group Pool by Thursday afternoon and use the tag #ceiling to be considered for the official selection gallery. Tell us in the description of your photography where this ceiling is and why it moved you enough to be your submission for this week.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to be in a bad mood after an invigorating walk on the frosty beach!

The #FlickrFriday #Soulmates challenge
Introducing Toffee and Wally, our two house rabbits.
Toffee is a rescue bunny, her previous owner having become unable to care for her. Her left ear had to be amputated in early life due to a serious infection. It's part of her charm and it presents her with no difficulties whatsoever. Wally, so far as we can tell, has significant sight loss. Thankfully, animals suffer none of the mental trauma such an issue would cause we humans so he happily blunders around the living room as he wishes.
Both have been (ahem) "trained" to respond to treats, in this case sultanas. That's how I secured their very temporary cooperation to allow this photo to be taken. It was window lit and processed in Photoshop, principally being converted to monochrome, blur used to reduce a distracting background. Haze, grain, a pale vignette and finally a sepia tone were also added to add a bit of warmth and hopefully an 'ahhhhh' factor.
I started collecting older cameras at one time, but this is the extent of my collection, apart from all the cameras I have personally used over the years. The one on the bottom left was my grandfather’s. I found it years ago in my grandma's pantry, a pantry in an old house was a room within itself, it was a treasure trove of many wonderful finds, that and the attic, which again, was like another room in the house, you could walk through it without even ducking.
I suppose you could still use the Kodak camera if you want to try and find some flash bulb cubes. They do still sell them on secondary markets, and I even found them on Amazon. Of course, you pay a premium and hopefully they still work.
You could even say Felix the Cat is obsolete. This type of toy certainly is. If I asked my thirty-something year old daughter and son-in-law if they knew Felix the cat, I'm pretty certain the answer would be no. Felix was second to Betty Boop for me, I loved Felix, but Betty is the Bomb!
St Mary's Parade Lancaster. All the houses in Lancaster from before about 1950 have lots of chimneys, because they would have had a fireplace in each room and a range in the kitchen. Now houses have, at most, one fireplace for smokeless fuel or a wood-burning stove. So all the others are empty and may be sealed to avoid the draft. They make nice homes for jackdaws.

Flickr Friday - Joy - 02 Apr 2021.
Bite into a piece of chocolate, close your eyes and savour the moment – joy and happiness can be so easy to achieve! But why does chocolate actually make us joyful? One explanation is to be found in the particular constituents of cacao, the main ingredient of chocolate, which are said to have a mood-enhancing effect.
One of them is tryptophan. The body uses it to produce the mood-elevating substance of serotonin – also known as the happiness hormone. The sugar in the chocolate also plays a role in this. Because the insulin released in response to the sugar facilitates the journey of the tryptophan to the brain where it engenders happiness and joy.
We also associate chocolate with joyous events such as holidays, treats, romance, love and happy childhood events!
Happy Easter!

When I dream, from what I remember there are always changes to another place and a desire to find my way.
This week for Flickr Friday we're getting mechanical with it. The theme is "Gear." Be sure to tag your photo #Gear and submit it to the Flickr Friday group pool. We can't wait to see how you interpret this theme.

I have kept a diary on & off (mostly off) for many years but since January 2003 have written every day. Each morning, when I write what I did & thought the day before, I look back on the events of ten years ago.
The Flickr Friday group theme for this week is Recall.
This gold pin set ladies pocket watch belonged to my grandmother who was born in 1869. We keep it in its original case together with the "muff chain" which she would have used to suspend it from her neck. The watch is Swiss made and dates from the period 1860-1890.

Ladies' Walk is shown on maps of Lancaster in the 18th and 19th centuries as a broad tree-lined footpath east of Skerton Bridge. It was cut off by the Midland Railway line to Green Ayre Station from 1849 to 1966. Now there is again a walk there, the bike path up to Crook O'Lune. And it even has a signpost saying it is Ladies' Walk. Early on a Sunday morning, it was busy with bikes, and a few dog-walkers. This lady gave her permission to be in the photo.
