The song i picked is Grenade, by Bruno Mars was the first thing that popped into my head. I thought that the lyrics, I'd catch a grenade for you, work perfectly with a pic of my husband and kids.
I found the time to do the prompt!
Journalling: I have always and will always be a reader. But certainly a lot has changed now in my lifetime of reading. I read more online. I buy more of my books online. I belong to 3 libraries and have left behind 4 (plus the school ones). I read more books to the kids that I do to myself. I have apps and websites to help me catalog my collection and reading desires. I still like the same authors but my list of favourites gets longer most months. I read more Fiction for adults than ever before- lots of crime stuff surprisingly. My favourite store is Crow Books. I still make my own books only more professionally. I have 7 full book shelves in my house. But I still have a hard time which books I am happy to swap at the Book Swap Shop. I don’t have as much time to read but as always my sidetable is as overflowing with books as ever.
The sun was setting on 60059's career in the black and orange colours of Load Haul as Swinden Dalesman gets to grips with 6F26 Walton Old Junction-Liverpool Bulk Terminal.
This picture was taken at Warrington Bank Quay on 24 October 2010, by December 60059 was stored at Crewe IEMD with scrap tyres. The loco remained there until May 2011 when it was towed to Bescot, then Toton and put through the full GTi treatment.
As I'm typing 60059 is working the oil circuits from Immingham and has around 2400 hours on the clock.
Two Calvin & Hobbes pages in one LOAD? Is it possible I'm a wee bit obsessed? :)
journaling:
Ah, my childhood. The days of the comics section in the newspaper. They were, of course, the best part of the paper. (Meanwhile, my kids are asking: what's a comic strip? You mean like webcomics? But what's a newspaper?) Every day - rows of black and white strips, and then on Sundays, big color ones.
One day, while living in Berlin, we discovered a new strip in the military paper, by Bill Watterson, called
Calvin and Hobbes. (It's even possible that it was when it first came out, or close to it.) I don't remember the first strip we ever read, except that we liked it and wanted to read more.
I do remember when we first read this Sunday strip, the bedbug one. I remember how hard we laughed, doubled over helplessly (because of course, we said, "Don't let the bedbugs bite" all the time at bedtime). I remember Dad trying to explain the Kafka joke at the beginning. Dad cut it out of the paper and put it up on the frig. We read Calvin and Hobbes religiously after that, and bought every collection book we could find. Chris and I would act out scenes from the strips, or just sit together with the books, reading them aloud, taking turns with the parts.
Years later, in college, I made my dad a Father's Day card by going to the library and photocopying all the strips I could find where Calvin gives his dad a hard time (and sometimes the other way around) and pasting them into a giant card. There are still various "Calvinisms" in our family banter, exchanges like, "What do you say?" followed by, "Sounds like a barge coming through!" or "While I'm dreaming, I'd like a pony."
The bedbug strip stayed up on the frig for years and years, through at least six moves, getting more yellowed and tattered as time passed. It never failed to bring a smile to my face. It has since disintegrated, no doubt - I think it's time to put up a new copy.

Most showmen attend other fairs in the week between the two Buckingham Mop Fairs and then come back on the second Friday, but sometimes a handful of attractions have nowhere else to go and are left packed up in Buckingham to await the second Mop. Here Edward Furborough's Orbiter and the stalls of John Warren and John Smith are seen at rest on the Wednesday.
A backhoe loader, also called a loader backhoe, digger, or colloquially shortened to backhoe, is a heavy equipment vehicle that consists of a tractor fitted with a shovel/bucket on the front and a small backhoe on the back. Due to its (relatively) small size and versatility, backhoe loaders are very common in urban engineering and small construction projects (such as building a small house, fixing urban roads, etc.).
Unloading a hold full of Snow Crab. For those familiar with Deadliest Catch, this would be Opilea. I love trying to capture the culture of the fishermen in Nova Scotia any time I can.

I did set the timer with this one for 30 minutes, the journaling tag set me back a few minutes, though. I love to add words, but feel that they often get in the way of my design. Which is why I love hidden journaling. I tucked it right up there at the top with that little ribbony tag sticking out!
Ella's 6 weeks of sketches challenge helped out with my design! thanks Ella! this is quite a turn on the original sketch but if you squeeze your eyes, you'll see it!
feels really good to use this BG paper. Been in my stash WAY too long!
thanks for looking!
The paint drops were inspired by Julie Fei-Fan Blazer. I love her blog and have been sneaking peeks all day.
