sizzle
we sizzled in blazing sunshine this week
~~~~~
Although the sun was shining was hardly
sizzling weather at Nice Beach…
…however, Manly Beach would certainly
see some sizzle bodies…

flabby
(of a part of a person’s body) soft,
loose, and fleshy
~~~~~
All labradors I have ever seen have always
had some flabby skin.
Some similar images from
my rotund post.
I guess I can always dream…of what
it would be like to be slim.

home
the place where one lives permanently,
especially as a member of a family
or household.
~~~~~
No matter where I have been travelling, many
international flights usually touch down
in Sydney first.
Therefore with the sighting of the
Sydney Harbour Bridge comes a feeling of home.
Sighting Melbourne’s skyline and Victorians
know they are home.

Fashion of all sorts.
A drawing from my Mother-in-law’s school sketch book.
Her daughters did not know she had this until
after she passed away a couple of years ago.
And it seems only a few years ago that
London model Twiggy,
caused a furore at the Melbourne Cup
wearing a mini skirt two whole inches
above the knee.
Hemlines have certainly changed since 1965.
Fashion on the gold fields in mid 1800s.
Being married anywhere is now fashionable.
Bride’s dresses have changed considerably
since the late 1970s and mid 80s.
In my twenties I did like to dress formally for a night out.
Sadly I don’t go out as much and formally has
taken on a whole new meaning.
Fashion on a Rivera beach, Nice to be precise,
is much more relaxed.
I believe this beautiful Athabaskan
coat and hood was for formal wear.

Word-of-Day-Challenge-Lady
~~~~~
lady
a polite or formal way of referring to a woman.
Recently I posted a photo of
some young ladies paddling
on Lake Lucerne.
These young ladies (and gents) were cooling down
at Sydney’s Manly Beach a few years ago.
The youngest did not ask Mum’s permission
to cool down. -)

I may e stretching the meaning of the word
but I think this fountain was bubbling.
Little sister was enjoying toe cool water
while big sister being possibly a first born
was worried about what Mum might say
when she noticed.

Starting with Melbourne urban sights.
I’m not sure if this service is still operating.
Next week’s fashion?
We had an enjoyable carriage ride in
Victoria, British Columbia, last year.
It’s probably about time to check out Melbourne
with a one horsepower drive.
An ice rink in the country is unheard of.
I was surprised to see this open air rink
in Melbourne a few years ago.
Heads deliberately removed because
most skaters were youngsters
I always associate buskers…
with urban life.
Couldn’t help take this one.
Big sister was horrified.
Little sister was cooling.
Mum was busy talking to a friend
and did not see any of this!

Legs and feet…
…something common…
…to many of earth’s creatures.
Something else common…
…is the fact that…
…some legs and feet…
…are more pleasing to the eye than others.
Another commonality…
…is that legs and feet can reflect the size…
…of the body being supported.

FOWChallenge-Skimp
~~~~~
skimp
expend or use less time, money, or material on something
than is necessary in an attempt to economize.
“don’t skimp on insurance when you book your holidays”
a fashionably short or revealing garment.
“she wore a yellow skimp”
Not many years ago this hemline…
…would have shocked everyone.
Now it is rather conservative.
The bikini clad sun lovers are borderline skimpy
by today’s standards.
As I don’t shoot many people in skimpy attire,
I had too search photos like this to find…
to find any skimpy or not so skimpy clad
beach goers at Sydney’s Manly Beach.
