Trains and boats and planes...remember these lines from the lyrics of a Burt Bacharach song of the same title?
They mean a trip to Paris or Rome
For someone else but not for me
The trains and the boats and planes...
I've got loads of photographs capturing these forms of transportation and more...all requisites in the life of a traveller. I'm using these snapshots for my new series about all the different ports of call that I have had the pleasure of viewing from the vantage point of a sailor approaching land and shouting "Land Ahoy!" (Do they ever say this?) Anyway, in my series we'll be calling out "Ship ahoy!" as we spot all kinds of ships, tugboats and yachts. There will be sky and sea scapes, plus coastline landscapes for our viewing pleasure while we anticipate our dream cruise to take us to foreign shores.
This first post covers Singapore Harbour from which the cruise-ship departed when I went on my cruise to Langkawi and Phuket last week. Next in this series I will feature ports where we disembarked on the Western Mediterranean Cruise which I took last year in May.

One note about flaxseed oil the flax crops (at least
ReplyDeletehere in Canada, where I live) are currently "at risk" as a result of invasion by a genetically-modified variant known as
"Triffid" which was supposed for being destroyed ten years in the past.
Only about 0.01% in the flax is so affected, but that is sufficient to keep Canadian flax banned inside the EU.

I've been having Zoloft to deal with continual depression for ten many years. I take 200 mg each day. And, of course, I have experienced considerable excess weight achieve with Zoloft. I started out at about a hundred thirty. I now excess weight about 162. Some of it may be because of getting absent through menopause, but I do think that Zoloft would be to blame for many of it. It will be nice to go off the Zoloft and find out if that would aid my bodyweight troubles, but however which is not an choice for me. If anyone has had good results in losing their Zoloft excess weight, I would really like to understand how they did it.
