The Broom

Trumpets sound, angelic choruses are heard, well, cockies screech, currawongs carol, kookaburras laugh.

I can't remember a pre-mum's-broom time. *Strictly* for indoor use, it still has the original, but very well worn white broomstick. When #Alzheimers put mum into care, A inherited it. Now it's passed to me. Only an old broom, yet full of memories! 🤷‍♂️

I cleaned the bristles & left it to dry. As the sun went down, GLOWTIME!

A 60+yo broom basks in winter solstice golden hour sunlight. It has a green nylon head, and the original well worn white broomstick. The nail came later. It's leaning on a wooden bench in front of brown brick and fibro.

Late solstice sunlight shines through the head of a very old green broom. The bristles almost glow.

The broom leans against a sad looking deck above natural bushland. The sky is blue.

I really loved the way this 60+yo green broom lit up in the late sun. Here it's against the deck again, in front of bushland. The sun's about to set, signalling longer days to come.

A cloud of fog or a cryptid just sauntered down our street. I'm just gonna give it a passing nod.

I have a quarterly review meeting in 25 minutes.

I’m having a low blood sugar moment and feel kinda loopy. Oh good.

A few minutes ago I gave myself a full dose of The Foamies just by drinking water. That’s a first. I’m just shy of two years since gastric bypass surgery and I’ve never had the foamies triggered by a liquid before. It’s always been solid food. It passed quick, but it was a surprise.

My father is having a bad day, health-wise today.

I just got an invite to a training that I took on Tuesday. It says the training starts in 25 minutes. I am so confused. Maybe it’s just the blood sugar thing. I’ve had a protein bar and I’m feeling better. My father is going to get stitches. He’s going to be miserable. I wish I could do something to help.

Blah, this is an example of a Friday that is not living up to it’s potential. It’s supposed to be “Good Friday” today, isn’t it? So far it’s not very good. Blah.

Exploring weird Nevada could take a lifetime, in part because there is new weirdness appearing all the time here and there across the state’s expansiveness.

The look/concept of certain numbers bothers me. 7 is the biggest one. I HATE the look of it and numbers that end in it. Yuck. It's lucky for some, I guess. I don't like numbers that end in 1 (this REALLY bothers me), 3, 5, or 9 either. I really prefer the look/feel of even numbers. Your 2s or 4s or even 6s or 8s. 0 is fine too. And numbers that end in those I prefer over the others. Weird, right

Just found out that POTS can be caused by electrical injury (?!).
Now I'm sitting here wondering if it was being inside a lightning strike or two big electrocutions or maybe it was just a virus... 🤷🏼

Nevada is a state that even boasts the hashtag #weirdnevada to underscore it’s outlying, ode-to-odd character.

These are the things my hubby and I agree on “Clampy” #novascotiafolkart #folkart #metalart #weirdthings #bbentmetal

Folk art fish made with tool bits. A vice grip body and mouth, fork tongs for eyebrows a wedge of circular saw for a tail and a spiral protruding from its back, all painted deep red except the chipped spoon tongue and stand which are painted blue

During my travels I have seen some weird "things" as well as "Big" things" which we here in Australia seem to take great pride in. We always check to see what there is to see in areas we visit.. #BigThings #WeirdThings #TravelAustralia #Outback #WikiCamps #DustyTravelsOz

In the middle nowhere, in outback NSW you can find a site titled "Bras, Boots and Pink Pianos" These are plonked by the roadside, the pianos 2 of, are the old upright variety, decorated with vinyl records. In the background is a ree strewn with offcast bras, whilst beside is a tree decorated with many types of boots and shoes from large to tiny.

This image shows the "Boot Tree" with all kinds of boots and shoes, adults and childs hanging from it.
