The Whirling Dervishes Fridge magnet / myLot

South Africa

June 14, 2016 3:04am CST

Barry is returning from Turkey today, and after his well deserved holiday, he will be planning another holiday to recover from this fantastic break-a-way. @Asylum I hope that no unexpected Hospital appointments get between him and the jet-setting . . . I give to you the whirling dervishes in which the Surfi's twirl and whirl in rhythmic meditation as part of their worship. I am so pleased that I chose one of them as my magnet for my collection at home. I believe that a collector of fridge magnets is called a "memomagnetist"

It's a wonder that your fridge door doesn't fall off with all those magnets on it. The whirling dervish looks great.

That is one of the few collector terms that I was not aware of. I have an appointment next Wednesday 22nd June and the EU vote is on Thursday, so hopefully I may have some free time from then. It seems a long away, but I shall be patient.

you can meander the UK and look for some UK postcards or photos to show us - or just put your feet up and wait for life to happen

@Inlemay There are possibly many local places to me that would constitute scenic.

@Inlemay perhaps you could add a magnet board somewhere?

@Jessicalynnt - No, I think there is still room for a few more, like 20, I will just move them around to fit in

My friend in Belgium has two steel cabinets full - I only have wood in my kitchen so the fridge will have to do - the local ones I keep at the bottom for the grand-kids to play with - they love them

I must be a memomagnetist too as I have quite a collection of fridge magnets. They fit in a full suitcase easily and aren't usually expensive.

they are my favorite to look for when traveling, but i must say some are made quite shoddy - I like a good well made magnet

Ooooh I love this one! I would love to buy it myself! It must be nice to have a collection that each has a travel story behind it to reminisce on...

I can say that I am a "memomagnetist" too.

I loved to collect fridge magnets from those places I visited. It makes me happy seeing those magnets displayed on our refrigerator and I am looking forward for more magnets on other countries as well.
