FLY WITH ME
Welcome to Thoughts Become Words.com and the many words flying from my keyboard to blog to you.
I hope you can hang around!
“The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts” said Marcus Aurelius, a Roman emperor and philosopher.
So, please swing by my Current Posts (New Posts) category for a birds-eye view of my thoughts as they become seen, take wing in a flurry of words and flutter down onto the page in my AI-free zone.
Alternatively, you can strut through my Past Posts (Older Posts) with the most recent perched at the top of the list. For specific posts, I have a Search box. Also you will see I have three home page tags for About, Bio and Contact pages.
My blog posts are linked by Category/Tags, I have many different topics and opinions covering a range of subjects with individual blog post headings and my own photography where specified.
Flights of fancy and down-to-earth viewpoints are landing now … please read on …

Aussie arvo tea would not be the same without Lamingtons and a cuppa tea. This half dozen were purchased from a local bakery but I remember my mother and the Ladies Guild making trays and trays of lamingtons in their kitchens for charity sales, local fairs and school fetes. The inside is plain cake which is cut into squares, rolled in chocolate then rolled in coconut and best eaten fresh. Supposedly named in Toowoomba after either Lord Lamington, governor of Queensland from 1896 to 1901 or his wife Lady Lamington. Also supposedly created by necessity from either a female cook or a French chef. Either way they are delicious with a cuppa arvo tea.
