Autumn is alive with glorious colour on Sydney's North Shore, as I discovered when I crossed The Creek today.

Six Word Memoirs - Let's play too!

This morning Adam Spencer (ABC 702) interviewed Rachel Fershleiser, co-author of a new book, "Six Word Memoirs: Not Quite What I Was Planning" . People were asked to write 6 words encapsulating their life, and the contributions sound an intriguing pot pourri of funny, incisive, wry, and just plain heartbreaking commentaries on what life has served up to them.

The idea was triggered by the story that Hemingway once bet ten dollars that he could sum up his life in six words. His words were—

For Sale: baby shoes, never worn.

Apparently bloggers have been playing this word game for months, but if, like me, you've only just got wind of it, why don't we play too? Please leave your contribution in the comments.

I'm sure I can come up with something better, given time and a second cup of coffee, (and I'll keep you posted if I do) but here's the first that came to mind -

Blessed life, good health - no wealth.

Scatterday A - Week 33

This week our letter is A

The first category is Restaurant, and for this I immediately thought of Matt Moran's Aria. But since I've only been there once (courtesy of some generous friends) and wasn't in a position to photograph it this week, you'll have to make do with Aria's entry in the White Pages. Close enough?

The next category, Things You Find in the Dark, really had me scratching my head. I thought of annoyances like tripping over our cat (animal) or walking into a spider(arachnid) web, or ants that seem to find leftover food on the kitchen bench during the night - but when I thought about how to go about photographing these objects I appreciated an apparent anomaly here. If it's dark, then you can't see anything, can you? (But they're all in my photo - you do believe me, don't you?)

Finally we have Turquoise, and here I present my turquoise-toned Acme brand AM/FM radio.

Scatterday X - Week 32

Yikes - the letter X!!!!

I'm so glad we Scatterdaisies been set free this week to simply find 3 objects beginning with X. No categories to confine us. I found 3 without too much trouble, but I was grateful I didn't have to present 4!
