Another new day

I've been feeling a bit restless lately. Mark is safely delivered off to Uni and beginning a whole new exciting chapter of his life. In a sense, I suppose that I've been living the excitement with him. But now he has gone and it's back to the usual daily routine.

As well, summer is drawing to a close, so all of those jaunts off to northern latitudes are going to become so much more difficult with the advent of the frost and the fog and the wind and the rain; dark mornings and darker evenings.

But each new day is a new beginning and we make of life what we can...

From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the LORD is to be praised.
Psalm 113 v 3

Amble over to Jenny's to see what's going on at the start of a brand new alphabet.

Alphabet Thursday: Q

For about eight weeks now I have been reading a friends Alphabet Thursday posts and thinking "That looks fun!", but I haven't joined in because it is her thing and I didn't want to be a copy cat (even though I know she wouldn't mind!). But last week was P, so I thought I would take that as my Q to join in today.

Q is for quiz!

So, because mine is a photo blog, can you identify the objects? (Oh yh - and that's a question) Some are easy; others a little more tricky.

Answers at the bottom of the post :)

I hope a quiz means that I've qualified to post in Alphabet Thursday. I shall be in quite a quandary if I've failed in my quest.

If you're a quiz addict, you might also like a quick try at this one about St George's Day. Don't quiver or quail! Although St George is quintessentially English, being of alternate origin shouldn't make you quit. As a nation, we appear to be queerly uninformed about our patron saint.

And here come the photo answers...

(I've used an Orrery photo like number 7 before. The first one was mine. This one was taken by a friend.)
