defenestration. Top Story - October 2024.
Defenestration: throwing a person or object out a window * Connection to me: Many decades ago, when the earth was greenā¦ Italian was one of my High School subjects. Note, I never claimed to have learnt Italian! Sadly, I was least proficient in it, out of all my subjects However, for some bizarre reason, finestra is one of the few Italian words I still recall. Apparently finestra originated from a similar Latin word fenestra. From there, itās just a tiny skip to defenestration! Whilst clearly not a wise or kind action, it certainly makes for a dramatic scene in a book or movie!

The Southern Cross
The Southern Cross shines Waits, beckons, draws me back home To The Great South Land. *** Written for the Sky-ku challenge. The Southern Cross is my favourite constellation. It brightens my night sky, as it did with sailors of old, leading them here to Australia.

The Time Traveler's Wife (2009)
Fully clothed for once Weirdly stressed againā¦ time jumpsā¦ Arrive stark naked. *** So goes my bad MOVIE REVIEW for Matthew Frommās challenge. I only recently watched The Time Traveler's Wife. As fascinated as I am by time travel, Iām certainly not up for the embarrassing repercussions of its unpredictable occurrence!š³

auricomousā¦ Angieās Antics
auricomous: having golden or blond hair *** Despite being newly acquainted with auricomous, we're now fast friends. I was Daddyās golden-haired princess. I stoutly protested as a youngster, with bouncy blonde ringlets, āIām not Blombie!ā (Blondie). Later, honey blonde became what I generously deludedly refer to as platinum blonde.

coccineous
Coccineous: bright red *** Bright red has always been my favourite colour, which is understandable since I love strong bold or contrasting colours. As an extrovert, red always excites, energises and draws me like a magnet. Except when it doesn't! Red traffic lights and Stop signs annoy, irritate and infuriate me. However, Red remains my stalwart friend and safeguard. Without her, my cherry red blood could spill and then Iād be pushing up daisies up on a hill. So, Red it is, and Red it remains... she's the colour for me!

Mr Sociable!
Heās so gorgeous! So happy, friendly, sociable! Aw shucks! Thanks! I hear it every time I go for Walkiesā¦ Hear it every time someone comes to steal my amazing Mum. Which happens way too often, if you ask meā¦ and you should ask me! I wish you would ask me. Guess what Mr Sociable would woof back at such a silly dilly thing-a-ma-jing?

brachiotomy
Brachiotomy: the amputation of an arm. *** As an ex-nurse, I have strong recollections of a patient who sustained a traumatic Brachiotomy in a traffic accident. Bethany Hamilton is a great inspiration to me ā as post shark attack ā she is living life to the full, one arm down. I am frequently triggered by the sight of vehicle drivers casually driving around with their arm draped outside their windowā¦ begging to have it removed!
