Reading 21

Nej Reading er ikke det engelske ord for at læse. Ikke her i hvert fald. Det er nemlig også en engelsk unversitetsby, og en studerende der, Gracie Price har lavet en fotografer Reading i 21 dage-udfordring på Instagram.
     Well, Uglemor bor ikke i Reading, hun kan heller ikke lægge bilelder på sin Instagramkonto (Kun hvis hun får lov via andres mobiler). Så hun tager den her på bloggen i stedet.

Fotografér din by 21 billeder med nedennævnte temaer begyndende fra 1. marts.

No Reading has nothing to do withe words in a book. It's a town in England known for its university, music festival and a lot of other things - A student there, Gracie Price, has set up a challenge #RDG21 a daily clue for a picture to be taken in Reading.
Well MotherOwl does not live in Reading, and she's dependent on friends and family for posting at Instagram due to lack of smartphone. But this challenge sounds inspiring.
Let's try here. A photograph and be proud of your city/town/place on earth-challenge with the same daily prompts as the Reading one.  Beginning on March 1st.

Sneuglejubel - Snow Owl Happiness

      Når man vågner op til en verden med hvidt på alle flader og tindrende sol. Og når vejrmeldingen oven i købet ser sådan her ud. Så er der kun ét ord der dækker

❆ ❅ ❄ ☃ 💙 ☃ ❄ ❅ ❆

When MotherOwl awakens to a world where every possible thing i covered in white, and where the sun is glinting in a zillion snowflakes. And when the weather promises to continue to look like this. Only one word is able to describe it.

SNEUGLEJUBEL

SNOW-OWL-JUBILANCE

TUSAL - Pink - Januar 2018

       Så er det atter nymåne, og stumpebøtten er FULD. Det er ikke fordi Uglemor har lavet så meget. Men de forsvundne stumper fra august sidste år, dukkede op i forbindelse med indretningen af de pink hylder.

 Now it's once again New moon. The ORTs jar is full and more. Not because MotherOwl has been busy stitching etc. No, but the disappeared ORTs from August 2017 suddenly appeared.

      Og så fik Uglemor en kæmpepose lyserøde strimler sammen med de lyserøde hylder.

And together with the pink shelves, MotherOwl got a giant bag with pink rug rags.

     De var enormt kludrede og enormt lange. Uglemor brugte to dage på at kludre dem ud. En af strimlerne, ikke den længste, målte ca 87 meter. Hvordan de er blevet så lange, fatter Uglemor ikke rigtig, for der er ingen hjørner eller sammensyninger.

It was one bit tangle. It took MotherOwl two days to untangle it all. One of the strips, not the longest one, measured more than 87 metres! How they got this long, we do not understand. There's no corners and no joints in the strips.

     Her er alle strimlerne i en kurv. Der en noget andet nede i bunden, men alligevel er der totalt mange lyserøde strimler.

All the wound up strips in one basket. There's some other strips in the bottom, but it's still a load of pink.

Let the creativity begin!

 Thoughtlessly we plopped down at the rim of the caldera. The climb had been tiring and hot, the children were exhausted, and we not much less. Only my almost teenage daughter was not. She was used to outdoor life and hikes. And now, instead of looking out over the isle and the stunning views, she rested her long body against a rocky outcrop, swallowing a penny dreadful with unicorns, crossbow shooting heroes, and magicians of Merlin's ilk on the covers.
Our youngest, then only a toddler - now he's neither a toddler, nor the youngest - fell asleep almost as soon as we sat down. The rest of us dropped off one after another, except for the avidly reading girl.
For how long we slept, none of us know, but we awoke to out daughter's loud yells. The toddler had, as was his wont, tossed and turned in his sleep. This had brought him to the rim of the caldera, and then over it. Our daughter lay fully stretched with a handful of his clothes in hand.
It was not that dangerous, but still ... there were cliffs, sharp edges, and boulders all the way down to the bottom of the grass clad slopes. We jumped into action, and got them both back on safe ground.

Tynd, trænet eller bare tumpet?

     Jeg sad lige forleden og så gamle videoer med sangere i 60'erne og 70'erne. Og det slog mig hvor atletiske og veldrejede alle mennesker stort set ser ud på de her "gamle" filmsstumper. Prøv bare at se denne her bid fra en McCloud-film (1975), hvor Barbi Benton synger Ain't that just the Way .... Læg mærke til dem, der står rundt omkring. De skal illudere en helt normal forsamling, den normale seer skal kunne identificere sig med. Sammenlign i tankerne med et moderne klip.
     Endnu værre er det hvis vi går tilbage i tiden til 50'erne og kigger på hende her: Patsy Cline . Jeg ved godt, at moden også gør noget, men prøv at forestille jer en moderne tyndfed teenage-sangerinde i de kjoler! Og kig også på musikere, venner osv. De ligner ikke de folk, vi ser på gaden i 2018 ret meget.
     Hvad har vi glemt? Eller hvad gør vi forkert?
