4th of July! Wheee! Just another work day for the Horse.

The Horse @TheHorse (228455) • Walnut Creek, California 4 Jul

Are you doing anything special for the 4th of July? I suppose not if you're from India or the Philippines or something. This year's 4th may be a bit odd for some Americans, as we are dealing with the possibility of being a...

Ptrikha_2 Belated Happy Independence Day wishes for you and all Americans. Perhaps many need to look at Thomas Jefferson & his close associates and see what form of US they wanted after its liberation from British colonial rule. Has US gone in that direction or not. It...

Arunima Singh @arunima25 (91470) • Bangalore, India 6 Jul

Good morning from this side of the planet. It's 10:30 AM Sunday here. The sun came out happily for a while in the morning but not for too long. It is cloudy again but luckily no signs of rain. We had night long light showers. The...

Ptrikha_2 Looks like a nice plan although the kind of traffic I hear about in Bangalore makes me wonder if 9 PM would be early enough for a 10.30 return? Anyways, enjoy the sunshine after long rains. Here, we had a few days of good rains but then most of the days have...

Ptrikha_2 Looks like quite a popular dish. Not a fish eater (in fact am a veg person) but I know the love for various kinds of fish in the eastern parts of India.

I am trying out the Macro setting on the camera on my phone. Not at all sure if so am doing it correctly but surely I will get it right sooner rather than later. I found a new on one of my Raspberry bushes and sadly I think it...

Ptrikha_2 Some mobiles now have a camera setting for Motion pictures but I have not tried them. You can check if your phone has that. Or may be a pro Mode where you know something about adjusting the shutter speed.

We visit a big hill - understatement for 'large monolith'

Judy Evans @JudyEv (357981) • Rockingham, Australia 5 Jul

One of the great things about travelling is what you come across that you’re not expecting. While on our travels last week, we realised we were close to what is touted to be the third largest monolith in Australia. It depends a...

Ptrikha_2 Places like this are not very frequented and make for good tourist spots. I have seen some videos of similar places in India but of course, the structures that you have shown would have their unique characteristics and history. These could have been...

Laundry day!

The Horse @TheHorse (228455) • Walnut Creek, California 1 Jul

How often do you do your laundry? I try to launder my bed sheets at least once a year, and my socks and underwear even more often than that. Today I decided to launder my sheets. I have a new favorite set of flannel sheets from...

Ptrikha_2 Best of wishes for Humberto. We were battling 37 C plus mercury and high humidity but now good Pre Monsoon & Monsoon rains mean that we had good relief from the tough high humidity heat. We are expecting more rains. Have a nice time ahead !

Good Afternoon, Fellow MyLotters.

Tammy @tammys85 (30520) • Baltimore, Maryland 1 Jul

My original plan was to go to the coffee shop, but my nephew informed me that it’s supposed to storm later, so I’m working from home instead. My niece is going out, so she told me I could write in her room again, since it’s so...

Ptrikha_2 Quite a busy day it seems. We instead spend a lot of time outside. First some local travel for a doctor visit. Then we were in a Shopping centre for miscellaneous purposes. We had a sort of combined lunch and tea time at Cinnabon (Indianised franchisee !). Got...

Daylilies Blooming

DE @DaddyEvil (152839) • United States 29 Jun

We've lived here for over 7 years and didn't realize until last year that we had daylilies growing by our front porch. As far as I can remember, that was the first time they bloomed. I did dig in that flowerbed two years ago,...

Ptrikha_2 The digging could have revitalized the natural growing power of soil. Or may be accidentally some unknown nutrients made their way to the bottom of soil.

York in Western Australia was the first inland town to be developed so there are some very old and historic buildings in and around the town and the area. Outside the Post Office is this sign. It’s the first time I’ve seen a...

Ptrikha_2 This is a good and very much needed gesture. Aboriginals had been in places now known as Australia for Thousand of years. Now the question that comes to our mind is that if the remnants of those original tribes are well assimilated in the modern Aussie society...

Comfortable Morning

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (118996) • Marion, Ohio 28 Jun

We had a brief thunderstorm this morning before I got up. That has helped it be a very good temperature. I will try to get some things done outside today. I know I need to pull some weeds. Except for that it will be a calm day....

A Model T Torpedo Runabout now in a safe place

Judy Evans @JudyEv (357981) • Rockingham, Australia 27 Jun

While we’ve been travelling, we visited a car museum in York. That’s York in Western Australia, not the one in England. In the photo is a Ford Model T Torpedo Runabout. This was found in a very run-down condition in outback...

Ptrikha_2 Ford Motors made a big name in its heydays. I even read that it was the Ford cars that made cars affordable for many Americans and looks something similar in Australia as well. Torpedo sounds like an interesting name for a car model. May be those were around...

Ptrikha_2 Very High turbulence in US it seems. Plus Trump's randomized and unsettling way of handling International Affairs(South Asia, Iran-Israel) etc. is no soothing result. By the way, what plans do you have in the Neon Fun Jungle for the summers of 2025?

Ptrikha_2 I had bought some Danish Cookies. In fact more than once. One were good. Another one was a little more sugary, but still fine. I hope that the next time, you get a much better tasting cookie pack. Are McVitie's a famous brand in your area?

I defied the weatherman last night

snowy @snowy22315 (192511) • United States 24 Jun

He was saying how hot, humid and muggy it was going to be last night and that it was not a night to be without the AC. Well it wasn't that pleasant, but I had the whole house fan, the ceiling fan and a tower fan going. It cooled...

Ptrikha_2 We are having temperatures between 34 and 38 C. Yet with a high humidity. And the way I have been living, it is so tough to go without AC. Good ceiling and table fans are quite helpful in such a hot and humid weather.

How They Escaped

Amber @AmbiePam (100330) • United States 24 Jun

Tasmania hits the news for the wrong reasons

Judy Evans @JudyEv (357981) • Rockingham, Australia 17 Jun

A few days ago a policeman was shot dead in Tasmania. This is significant as it is the first police officer to be shot there since 1922, over a century ago. I wonder how many other countries can say that. Tasmania is an...

Ptrikha_2 Quite a lot of significant details about Tasmania. Population is not much but looks like it is a place where environment protection is much favored. Death of the policeman is very worrying. Is it due to the role of some Organized Criminal groups?
