We have arrived back from dropping Billy at the airport about an hour ago. I meant to write a post straight away, but stopped by the kitchen to make some soup for our dinner. I must confess to being very scatterbrained these days - I've stopped smoking...
Peter is watching a program about antiques and they showed this fantastic castle. The presenter said that construction started in 1268 and the bulk of it was built in only 3 years!

Keep the conversation flowing
We've been out and about, with little time to produce a proper post. As we don't like extra long threads, here's a nice photo to keep things going...

This is a first!
This is my very first post written on the i-pad. I'm not terribly clever with new gadgets and was doing the posts on the old computer because I had not realized that I needed to get the Blogger app for the i-pad until Billy told me...
It seems appropriate to inaugurate Blogger on i-pad with a huge thank you and very best wishes to all my What Time friends.

Exquisite Japanese balls
Queen of Sheeba sent us a link to a collection of photos of these strange but delightful balls. They look like a cross between knitting and embroidery.

Thank you, Queen of Sheeba.

They are a collection of about 500 temari balls, a type of Japanese folk art. They are spectacular. The artist is an 88 year old grandmother who began this project when she was in her 60s, which is a good reminder that it's never too late to create! The entire collection is HERE on a flickr account.
Thank you, Queen of Sheeba.

A really cool pen
Billy found this video. I suppose a pen has to be a lot of fun to compete with all the electronic gadgets out there!

Feeling grateful
Your lovely gift arrived yesterday! I ordered it quickly because of the Christmas rush, but Amazon surpassed itself by delivering it in 24 hours...
Here's my baby:
I'm a very lucky girl to have such generous, loving friends. We embarked on a journey together over four years ago and survived some upheavals, had some virtual battles here and there, but the birth of this blog brought calm, peace and friendship to a remarkable group of people. I've just realized how aptly named this space is. We always have time for each other, not matter what o'clock it is!
Thank you.

Methinks Annette loves Christmas
Pallottine sent us some photos of Annette's Christmassy handywork. The last batch arrived on November 15 and Annette was already starting on the outside!
Merry Christmas, Holidays, Season, etc, etc, to a very busy Annette, Pallottine and all the lovely gang that congregates here!

Books
They make a difference...
These days we live in a world dominated by technology:
Fortunately, there's always Kindle!
