This week, a couple of photos from 2003 photo folders. The photo above is from the Botanic Gardens in Adelaide. I love the contrast between the dark area and the extra sunny area. When you visit most botanic gardens you will find a spot like this.

This shot was taken from our townhouse which was on Tapleys Hill Road – a major road back in Adelaide. The Other Half was playing around with shutter speeds and time lapse from the upstairs bedroom window, which resulted in this photo of a road train.

Weekly Wrap Up –

Here at Snoskredland, we’ve had a nasty cold this week. We’ve been trying to keep warm, I’ve made a couple of batches of Chicken and Sweet Corn Soup which is my go-to chicken soup, and there was some more cleaning and tidying. Whenever I get a cold, I have this overwhelming urge to clean things.

Posts Snoskred Enjoyed –

Royally Played: Trooping The Colour 2015 – Did you see Prince George at Trooping the Colour? If not, you MUST, he was gorgeous! But wait, there’s more! Royally Played: Polo in the Park With George – And even more! And Still More!

I’m not into the concept of having kids of my own but Prince George could convince me otherwise. He is just so goshdarn cute!

Who Lives Where? Migrants Settling in Australian Cities – This post is completely fascinating. This is a must read for Aussies, and people thinking of becoming Aussies.

Queen Victoria’s Crown Ruby Brooch – My favourite colour on the Queen is pink, followed by aqua/teal. The photo of the Queen in this post is gorgeous! And some more pics here – Royal Ascot, Day 1 and Audience at Windsor Castle

The Best And Worst Airlines, Airports And Flights, Summer 2015 Update – An interesting look at US airports and airlines

Relentlessly Christian person objects to relentlessly gay front yard – I suspect this anonymous letter writer has begun a new trend as a surprise to themselves. Relentlessly gay yards will be popping up as a surprise all over the place. If you would like to donate to Julie Baker to assist her in creating a Relentlessly Gay abode and help to give a large, rainbow covered, middle finger to this anon letter writer, you can do so via this Go Fund Me – Relentlessly Gay.

Arnold Schwarzenegger freaks out Hollywood tourists – this was by far one of the funniest videos I watched this week on the interwebs. Celebrities should do this more often. Classic!

Cakes to make on Rainy Days – The Peanut Butter cupcakes sound great to me.

Finally this week, your two doses of super cute – Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Puppies – Ella and Lily – how gorgeous are these little doggies?

MINI HIPPO! Baby Pygmy Hippo Makes A Splash

We kicked off the week with Sunday Selections Week 24 – then I showed you – How to – Schedule Posts In Blogger & WordPress. We took a closer look at my second collectibles cabinet in Cabinetry Take Two, and I told you about an often used phrase in our household – There Was An Incident.. – Then, we put some mandarin in soda water for Sodastream Saturday #2.

Past Snoskred –

My Favourite Space – A look back at my office room from August 2006 – this was my seventh ever post on the blog.

Coming Up –

This week, you’ll see posts about art, and kitties. Sodastream Saturday will be taking a week off, it will be back in July.

River has been doing Sunday Selections for a while now, and I’ve finally decided to join in. YAY!

I have a multitude of old photo folders that need to be sorted through and named, so I thought this might be a good way to inspire me to get on with the sorting. I also have some backups of old computers with folders that need to be sorted through.

This week I have chosen to share a couple of recent photos. Last Sunday this was the sky we saw as we were walking in to do our fortnightly grocery shop.

Weekly Wrap Up –

Many years ago I used to do a weekly wrap up here on the blog. It went on holiday in November of 2007 and it must have been a very long holiday, perhaps around the world on a very slow boat! I think this could be a good time for the holiday to end. We’ll give it a try for a few weeks, anyway, see how it goes.

Posts Snoskred Enjoyed –

long-term post-wls eating: it’s complicated – Good on you Dawn – 138 pounds lost is an awesome achievement!

Stuff – Brilliant stuff, I say! :)

IT Reflections: Apple Photos, Cake Fails, Zomato, Blog Updates and Quicklinks – I love the castle cakes. :) Even the one someone considered to be a “fail” which I consider to be an epic win – if I could make a cake half that incredible, I’d be thrilled!

Judgers are gonna judge, haters are gonna hate.. Me personally, I leave the judgments to Judge Judy. She gets paid big dollars to judge. All the other people doing it are small time compared to her! When they get paid millions, that is when I’ll bother to listen to their judgments. Until then, one persons cake fail is another persons cake awesome. :)

The Beast Eats – I loved the video on this post, it is only 20 seconds long. :)

Can you fix this curtain, too? – I want me a serving of sea friends!

Your Afternoon X-Files – My human friends, this is a moment we have been waiting for – Scully and Mulder return.

My First Mosaic – Meshel made an amazing sugar skull mosaic! The border is my favourite part but I am a huge fan of gold.. ;) I really want to do this sometime. This is another kind of art you don’t need to be able to draw for. :) I might sign up for a local class with my birthday money.

a private show – Some gorgeous wildlife photos here, well worth a look. The train and the tunnel is my favourite as well! ;)

Icebergs – An excellent post from Leah, I think everyone should read it. :)

Please Pass The Mustard – I’ve never thought of making my own mustard but I just might after reading this post. ;)

And finally, baby pigs! YAY!!

Blog Spotlight –

Each week, I will link to a blog I am reading to shine a spotlight on it and tell you what I like about it. This week –

Angry people in local newspapers –

This blog highlights something you may have noticed in your local newspaper – angry people! If someone has a problem in their community and they went to the local paper about it, they might be asked to pose angrily. You can submit angry photos from your local newspaper as well. I submitted one back in April – Slasher anger.

Here On The Blog –

We had a bit of a visual feast this week – we took a look at my DVD shelves, my collectibles cabinets, the ecosystem on the roof of our chook pen, and our new fire pit in this post Long Weekending.

I went back in my memory to tell you about getting kicked out of art class in high school and showed you some of my art and my art room with this post Adult Colouring In & Art.

We took a closer look at one of my collectible cabinets with this Cabinetry post.

You got to see some of my art room wall art in this post – The Art Room.

And finally, we took a look at my new SodaStream with this post –
