We may not remember the monk, but I am sure none of you have forgotten the challenge rules as there is only one rule, your photograph must be square!
The theme of course is TIME and as you will see in tomorrow’s scheduled gallery, everyone has found some brilliant #timesquares. There have been;
- Timepieces – clocks, watches, sun dials and egg timers
- Sayings – Time & tide wait for no man (or woman!), A stitch in time saves nine, Early bird catches the worm, In the nick of time or More haste, less speed
- Synonyms – era, moment, season, infinity, interval, lifetime and age
- Out of the box – nighttime, once upon a time, pastimes and mealtimes!
Many of us are posting daily and others are sharing weekly and sporadic posts. If you have not yet joined us it is not too late as even one post at the end of the month will be timely!
By the way if you’ve noticed I’ve not visited one of your #timesquares, please get in touch. I don’t want to miss any of your fabulous #timesquares but I am currently being hampered by WordPress pingbacks. Quite a few are disappearing into spam, and even worst as I discovered yesterday some are not appearing at all in notifications. Maybe it’s a time lapse?!!
One of the better gifts of monks to our culture, I’d say! I found one of those sundials in the sundial village I mentioned earlier in the month: https://picturesimperfect2.wordpress.com/2018/12/20/sun-day/

Port is a warming winter tipple and a favourite of mine, as is Oporto – did not know an Abbott was its inventor so I shall raise a glass to him and wish you a Happy Christmas Becky as I’ve no more time this year for blogging.

Haven’t had any for the longest time! Must put that right over Christmas. 🙂 🙂 Sorry, I really haven’t had time to take part or visit many of the entries this ‘time’ around, Becky. Yesterday was a great day all round, with lots of ticks in boxes, and have you come across Re-Criativa in Olhao? A very sweet young Hungarian lad and maybe t’ai chi classes next year. Hope Robert’s better this morning.

Definitely make up for it at Christmas!
And really don’t worry about taking part, it is I know such a busy month in normal years let alone when you move! So very pleased that yesterday was such a great day, and that you discovered re-criativa. Did you find the cafe there too?! We’ve not been but have heard it is excellent.

A very warming shot, Becky. I do enjoy a glass of port.
And I think the new editor may be causing some additional problems at the moment. Now you’ve commented on ping backs I’m off to check my spam box.
Meanwhile, here’s my link: https://travelwithintent.com/2018/12/20/one-step-at-a-time/

I think you are right about the new editor. Why oh why must software engineers keep changing things?!! Maybe it’s time for a glass of port to help me cope 😉

Maybe it’s a parallel universe in which WordPress lives. I did a whole thing this morning —
I was going to write something else, but time — as usual — slipped away and then it was getting dark and dinner time.
