The word today is Feast

Feast: A large meal or a plentiful supply.

Sorry folks, you have to remember that I come from Africa, and for many many people THIS IS a feast. Every day I have people knocking at my door looking for food, money or jobs. I do what I can but cannot give to everyone. Things will get better as our black people are educated and get good jobs. Until then we live with poverty and hunger.
Hi all from Di

Thanks for your feedback on how you use digital imaging software. Sounds like we mostly use it to crop and add text. Perhaps I should have put this discussion on the forum! Having lots of fun with the camera experimenting. I have wanted to understand how I get some of the shot ain focus and some blurry so tried it! Here you are. The shot itself was not very interesting but I was really concerned with the effect.

I took this looking through my window and the "trellidoor". Will look for better subjects next! Great excitement over at IACW as we are planning ideas for next years. Looks like we will have LOTS of exciting things to keep us busy.

A little pampering today as I am going to have my eyebrows waxed and tinted. It is the very cheapest treat that I indulge in every 2 weeks! It costs me about R25 which is less than 2 pounds sterling! How's that for a bargain. I only takes about 10 minutes as well.

Thanks for visiting and love from Di XXX

I really love that shot of the wall through the window. It's fab! I love peanut butter too, but yes, it is so sad that food like that is considered a feast to many people. If only everything were more equal.

I love the wall shot! Brilliant! I know peanut butter & bread may be considered a feast there - such a shame that it's a "bit of a snack" for us - a very yummy one though!

Love the wall shot and the 'feast' photo certainly makes us think.
