Scatterdays   T


This weeks Scatterdays is bought to you by the letter T and the catagories are tasty,tiny,terrifying and threads



Tasty


Yesterday I had a tabbouleh and ham sandwich  for lunch; it was very tasty!


Tiny

 
 
I have  a large collection of teapots gathered over many years and this tiny pottery one was given to me about 20 years ago by my sister Louise.The lid is removeable and I suppose in theory you could have some tea in it but it hardly be a cuppa would it?
 
 
 

Threads

 
 
This tapestry was one my mother started and I had a friend finish it for her before she died. Mum loved Sturt Desert Peas because her mother used to grow them under the tank stand when she was a child.
 
 
                                                                                                                                                                            

Terrifying

 
 I refuse to have a photo of my worst nightmare on my blog so courtesy of Wikipaedia I will decribe it ( I have seen many though as they thrive in this area in and out of town).
 
Tiger Snake a large venonmous snake that has coloured bands (hence it's name) and can be fatal to humans.They don't mind the cool weather and are active on warmer nights ,are frequently around rivers and water. When threatened, they will flatten their bodies and raise their heads above the ground in a classic prestrike stance. The female gives birth to12 to 40 live young ,no wonder there are so many around.

I thought the same, terrified of the you know what that slithers. Love your tiny teapot.

Slithery things don't do much for me either, especially in the dark. I love your tiny teapot. Great Ts

Tabbouleah..great suggestion. I have it in the pantry and a ton of parsley in the garden. Will go nicely with tuna.

Good selection of T's. Over here in New Zealand we don't have to worry about snakes, thank goodness, just earthquakes!

Wendy said...

One of my earliest memories is of a terrifying snake. My father helped a sheep farmer kill one in the corner of a paddock. Dad then held it up in front of me....he was outside the car fortunately. However, at two yo iit was and still remains my most terrifying moment

I'm sorry Christine, but I put up a photo of a tiger snake. We have them in the bush also. Love your teapot.

Great selection of Ts - love the teapot!

Can remember finding snakes as I walked up to get the mail on the farm and yelled for Dad who came with the shovel.. Fortunately have not seen one for years. Love Tabbouleh and used to make it a lot.
I have a tiny Japanese T pot but not quite that tiny..how lovely as is the tapestry. Great selection.

Your tiny teapot is so cute. I too collect miniature teapots, so am envious of this little treasure.
