Week 36. Too much suffering going on right now, and fear, and the great unknown. I’m not even talking politics. That’s another painful topic, with healthcare uncertainty for many and the real possibility of nuclear war for us all. Hopefully cooler heads and compassion will prevail.
How about some diversions? Let’s make a fairy lantern! This looks like such fun, and if there’s a child in your life, it’ll be fun for both of you!

How about painting some rocks? Go look for some nice smooth rocks, and check out these instructions. I’m checking out good rocks now with the intention of using some pretty nail colors I’m replacing with Zoya polish which is cleaner and greener, than You-know-who’s in the ubiquitous square bottles.
Zoya is free of the Big 10: formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, dibutyl phthalate, toluene, camphor, TPHP, parabens, xylene, ethyl tosylamide, and lead. Lots of pretty colors, too!
As I write this post, I’ve been listening to the Global Citizen Festival, so who better than to close with than Stevie!

Shielagh 
thanks for that Stevie song
that resonates happily
from high school, Sunny!
now, maybe i’ll go
do my nails 🙂
Tonight Stevie
took both knees
for America 🙂
Yes, a powerful example of how divided the country has become. I saw a panel discussion Saturday on CNN where a man argued that it was disrespectful to the flag to kneel and not salute it. And then the NFL commissioner slapped back at the criticism coming from the tweeting White House. I hope they all kneel!
Thanks for this comment that brought a smile to my lips after a long day, David! Btw, Zoya offers products for a man’s manicure. Check it out if you dare! https://www.zoya.com/content/item/Zoya/Zoya-Naked-Manicure-Mens-Starter-Kit.html
man
-icure
is a most
interesting notion!
a toe contemplation 🙂
Thank you for these wonderful diversions Shielagh – I love the fairy lantern especially and great to see Stevie Wonder again. ‘Songs in the Key of Life’ was a soundtrack for my early teens and still a favourite album in our house. I hope you are all keeping well and wish you a wonderful weekend!☺💖 xxx
Thanks, Xenia. My soundtrack, too. So were The Beach Boys tunes. When I was a teen I actually went surfing with Jeff Bridges whose dad was a client of my dad who was an architect in Southern California. A claim to fame of sorts. I wonder if he remembers. I was 14 and he was 17!
How wonderful! Jeff may well remember you from his early surfing days! ;o) xxx
I wonder….🤔
Nice BLOG!!! ADD my blog too 😍
Thank you, Nilda! I post my Your Weekly Diversion blog on Fridays, unless circumstances delay me in which case it could be a day or two later. I hope you’ll enjoy it going forward.
