TRIGGER: Crazy
Hmmm….It’s been a very odd week.
I found myself becoming more and more frustrated with things as the week went by and I’m not sure why.
In itself that was driving me crazy.
Then this business with my file storage being pulled…..crazy.
Add to that various news stories that broke here, such as the guy who asked the judge to postpone his prison sentence because he had a golfing holiday booked….(and the judge agreed)…..crazy.
And the Government of Burma seizing the first deliveries of aid to arrive, because they don’t like outside interference (when hundreds of thousands are in need of help)….crazy.
And don’t even get me started about the crazy morons who drive vehicles on our roads.
The more the week went on the more that word kept entering into my thought process…CRAZY.
So, guess what the trigger is?…..

)TRIGGER: Rain
Well…after saying that ‘Spring has Sprung’ it suddenly recoiled and winter crept back in. The temperature cooled (again!), the sun crept back behind the big black clouds and the rain came. And the rain came. And the rain came some more.
(checks feet….yep, they’re webbed).
Now then, what’s the betting that they’ll still declare a water shortage when (or should that be if) Summer gets here?
Tomorrow I face a very wet drive to look at the first of the Universities that my Daughter is considering going to.
Sounds like the cue for a song or 14…so the trigger is:

TRIGGER: Photograph
My Daughter is currently preparing for her Photography exam and last weekend we spent some time taking photographs of ‘people & places’ for her to use.
You cannot believe how hard it is to find ‘artistic’ shots on a wet and dreary Sunday.
And the looks you get when you start taking pictures of people in public places…I mean, honestly….you’d think we were being invasive. (We were?….oh well….)
So I thought the trigger today should be….
