She collected, and bred, carnivorous plants all her life, and was considered an expert. She thought she had every type until offered a gigantic pitcher plant she had never seen before. She was delighted with the new acquisition, and decided to name it after the donor, Herman Trapp!

He was delighted when a donor hand had been found, after his own had been crushed. Perfect! He was delighted when there were no complications. Perfect! He was delighted that the hand matched in colour and size. Perfect!
Thank you to Jim Adams, who tirelessly hosts Song Lyric Sunday and gives us the chance to share lots of favourite, and some not so familiar, songs.
The theme for this week, Desire /Lust /Romance /Passion, is bound to attract lots of new followers who are looking for a saucy post or two. I’m afraid they will be disappointed if they end up here.
If you fancy sharing one of your favourite songs you can find out how to participate, and also listen to all the great entries, here.
The song I’m sharing this week is about passion. The passion of the members of REM to bring more attention to the starving children of the world in their song Talk About the Passion.
Actually, they didn’t do a very good job, and the lyrics do not really put the point clearly! It’s not until they linked it with the official song video that it becomes clear what they are saying. Also, their use of a poor French/English mix of lyrics does not help their cause.
Combien de temps? How much time? For how long? has been asked for ever.
Empty prayer, empty mouths combien reaction Empty prayer, empty mouths talk about the passion Not everyone can carry the weight of the world Not everyone can carry the weight of the world
Talk about the passion Talk about the passion
Empty prayer, empty mouths combien reaction Empty prayer, empty mouths talk about the passion Combien, combien, combien de temps?
Talk about the passion Talk about the passion
Not everyone can carry the weight of the world Not everyone can carry the weight of the world Combien, combien, combien de temps?
Talk about the passion Talk about the passion Talk about the passion Talk about the passion Talk about the passion Talk about the passion Talk about the passion

This needs no introduction whatsoever, other than to say what a wonderful tribute it is.
Seventy Five Years In The Passing..A D-Day Tribute. Seventy five years in the passing, The 6th of June; brave troops amassing. Nobody knew how countless would pay, For saving our souls that proud D-Day. From hillsides, valleys, towns & moors, They set off, leaving British shores. A rendezvous of military purpose, They called it Piccadilly…

Since those huge bright globes appeared low in the sky it hadn’t been safe to venture outside. All who tried were frazzled to a cinder. We soon realised that we needed to keep to the shadows, but then the acid rain proved deadly too! We’ve now used the last of the food and water!
There are still lessons to be learned, as hatred and bigotry are still widespread in all countries. It was reported today that 1 in 10 in the UK do not believe the Holocaust happened. Thank you to Kelly for the reminder.
Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, and marks the 74th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. I thought it was a fitting time to recount my visit to the Sydney Jewish Museum back in November.
The museum was established in 1992 by the generation of Holocaust Survivors who settled in Australia. This very special place continues to give a voice to the victims of the Holocaust, so their individual and collective stories can spark dialogues and inspire change. As well as preserving and documenting this important historical period, the museum also beautifully illustrates the richness of Jewish life in Australian society. The ground floor displays teach many aspects of Jewish faith and traditions. This Gentile found it fascinating.
The Holocaust exhibition stretches across three levels of the building, and details the persecution and murder of European Jewry from 1933-1945. The events of Hitler’s WWII are described in chronological order…
