Every first timer who visits Adam's Peak in Sri Lanka, ties a roll of sewing thread (mostly in white colour) and travels along with it for a possible distance before the roll finishes. There's a myth that how much distance people can take this thread is the lifespan of them.

Just out of their package. Love the cute accessories!

Torthorwald Village Saturday 2 September 2017 - the sun shone brightly, the scarecrow makers once again excelled themselves with their imaginative creations. Community members came from near and far to enjoy the spectacle as well as taking part in the family entertainment on the village field - bouncy castle, beat the goalie, welly throwing, the Torthorwald stocks, glitter tattoos and much more - a fantastic time was had by all.
Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to everyone who made the scarecrows, baked, donated prizes, donated food and helped out on the day.
Most of all thanks to the organisers and all the community members who came to lend their support and enjoy a great day out - it was brilliant to see so many family's there!

One of the optional assignments that Evan's 1st grade teacher posted was to make a counting collection like they do at school. So I picked through the unsorted Lego pieces and got a bowl full of tiny pieces for him to count. I dumped a couple handfuls back into the tiny pieces drawer when it looked like it was going to take him forever to finish, and he still ended up counting 204 pieces.

Count Dracula is a fictional character, the titular antagonist of Bram Stoker's 1897 Gothic horror novel Dracula. Some aspects of his character may have been inspired by the 15th century Romanian Prince, Vlad III the Impaler. Since creation by Stoker, the character has fallen into public domain and subsequently appears frequently in popular culture.
Jerusalem, summer 2005, "Mahane Yehuda" Market. The fishmonger is calculating its stock at opening its shop (called "Basta" in the market). The signes behind him are full of deferent fish prices, frozen and fresh. The light on the top sign comes from the market upper windows.

Down in the "bunker" we had to count the hits, after lowering the targets that were on tracks. Now if the guys would actually hit the targets with their UZIs :-)
A CHARITY is today counting the cost of one of the biggest fires in Huddersfield in years.
Oxfam's Wastesaver plant was ripped apart by a fierce blaze and a series of explosions last night.
More than 70 firefighters from across every part of West Yorkshire fought the inferno for more than eight hours, but they were unable to save the Beck Road premises.
The Oxfam centre employs 70 people and there were fears last night for their jobs. Many members of staff turned up to see the fire and were in tears.
It took fire crews eight hours to get the fire under control and firefighters are still at the scene today, Sunday.
Fire investigation officers and police are conducting an inquiry into the cause of the blaze.

UPDATE SUNDAY 12PM
Inspector Diane Booth, of West Yorkshire Police, said: "There was a need to keep a large area clear because of the number of fire appliances and fire crews who were involved in tackling the blaze.
"There was no indication of anyone being in the warehouse at the time the fire started and no-one was hurt.
"The smoke was very thick and acrid with a nasty taste but it was not toxic and we toured the area making PA announcements to make sure people kept their doors and windows closed".
n Bandra where we stay, there’s a small area with many old houses with tiled roofs. This is Runwar Village. Some of these houses are more than a century old. That is why this area has been declared a ‘heritage precinct’.
One thing that strikes anyone who comes here is the large number of crosses. We counted – on just two very small lanes, there were 23 crosses.
We were curious. We set out to find out the reason behind the crosses. Some people said it was because the area was full of Catholics. Some said to help people pray on their way to work or back. Then we met Mr John Gomes, a resident of Chapel Road. There are six crosses all a stone’s throw away from his house. He told us almost a century back, Bandra had been struck by a plague. Many people died. This place was overtaken by rats who spread the disease by biting people. “People were dying like flies, Mr Gomes told us. “We would bury someone, some back and see another person had died. The dead were sometimes carried away in cartloads. Many people packed their belongings and fled to the mountain.” Which mountain, we asked. Mt Mary, he replied. (Mt Mary is a church in Bandra situated on a little hill facing the sea). That is why people built the crosses, Mr Gomes said, to protect themselves from the plague. As a plea to Jesus to save them. Had anyone died in his family? No, he replied.
