***bits of this an' that***
with one of the strangest being a cluster of pearls known as the Southern Cross.....this feat of nature consists of a group of nine pearls that formed naturally into an almost perfect Latin cross.........seven pearls form the shaft and two either side ......it is about an inch and a half in length with the pearls having grown together....this being confirmed microscopicaly......this wonderful thing was discovered in 1874 in Roebourne in Western Australia by a guy called Clark..... it seems to have changed hands many times doubling in price on several occasions...
my graphic version of the cross
anyway I had a pearl of a magazine delivered to my door this morning and I am so chuffed with it.....it's my Artful Blogger by Somerset Studio.....I am so pleased with all the pictures.... inside is amazing....so go treat yourself.......

2 of your thoughts.....:
haha..I'm going to try that elephant one with my 15 year old son. We have a thing between us where I come out with the corniest jokes ever, and he rolls his eyes at me...they're the only jokes I seem to be able to remember!
Your new Artful Blogger mag looks very interesting...one thing I am not, is Artistic, but certainly admire it in others.
I'm fascinated by the 'Southern Cross' cluster of pearls. I'd never heard of it before, how amazing.
Hi Kali....thanks for your feedback....I will look out for more jokes then that you can tell your son...the pearl thing I saw in the Annual as well so presume it must be correct...as for you not being artistic I don't believe that for a second....even your photos have an artistic eye so it must be there somewhere...till soon
