A playground park sunset today?

Pitstop @pitstop (14039) • Australia 11 Dec

It's 7 pm and the sun showed no signs of setting as my little daughter played in the park. I loved the look of the park bench against the sun as it started dipping lower. Sunsets are taking forever now in summer - it's 8.30 pm and...

RUBESH It sounds like you're having a beautiful summer evening! It's always magical when the sun lingers longer, giving you extra daylight to enjoy time outdoors. The way the light hits the park bench must have been such a peaceful sight. Summer evenings like these...

Me Time

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (107859) • Marion, Ohio 10 Dec

The dogs are snoozing and so are the cats. Hubby is in town by now getting his stuff. I am enjoying the calm. I will go through the Christmas gifts fully today. Last time I was only checking the larger gifts. This time I need to...

RUBESH It’s funny how we assume things are one way for so long, only to discover we were wrong. It sounds like you’ve learned an important lesson, though! It’s great that the detectors have done their job and kept you safe, even if they weren’t quite what you thought...

What are your feelings about fruitcake?

snowy @snowy22315 (181948) • United States 10 Dec

It sometimes seems that the US has a love, hate relationship with fruitcake. There are fruitcake tosses, and flings. Some people love fruitcake and others do hate it. I like fruitcake, but in general I don't think it is worth the...

RUBESH I’d say I’m somewhere in between! Fruitcake definitely has a reputation, and while some people rave about it, others can’t get past the dense, sugary mix. I think the idea of it being made by monks sounds intriguing—it’s probably got that homemade, carefully...

Four Walls @FourWalls (68888) • United States 10 Dec

RUBESH What a fantastic choice—Marvin Gaye’s "You’re a Wonderful One" is such a gem! It might not be one of his massive chart-toppers, but it’s a prime example of how even his “lesser-known” tracks carry that irresistible Motown magic. Those early songs have such an...

Another brass band story

Judy Evans @JudyEv (341705) • Rockingham, Australia 10 Dec

It seems few remembered my story about conducting the brass band so perhaps you’ve forgotten or haven’t heard this one either. I hadn’t been in the band long when we had to play for Anzac Day. This involved marching. I had...

RUBESH What a delightful story! Marching with the brass band sounds like quite the adventure, especially with the added challenge of figuring out "left" and "right." It’s such a relatable mix-up—I think many of us would have had that same moment of confusion with the...

My latest plant purchase

Judy Evans @JudyEv (341705) • Rockingham, Australia 9 Dec

Several years ago, we bought an Albany woolly bush (Adenanthos sericeus) to use as a Christmas tree. It survived for a while but died later when we transferred it outside. We’ve now bought another one and planted it in a big pot...

RUBESH What a charming addition to your garden! The Albany woolly bush is a wonderful choice, especially for its soft, silvery-green foliage and the potential to attract birds with its red flowers. Using it as a Christmas tree sounds like such a creative and...
