It's time for a Magical Monday blog hop. Thanks to Carol for hosting! Please stop by the others and join the fun.
I saw this fascinating video called '24 hours in Dubai', it's 2 minutes long and quite magical. From the comments, they took 2880 photos, one every 30 seconds to create this 24 hour time lapse of downtown Dubai. You will notice the sun rise and the moon rise!
And since we're heading into the commercial season of Christmas, here's the world's biggest yellow diamond! My sister found an article on this, it sold recently for 10.9 million dollars (US), actually less than the asking price. I think I should try to find one in costume jewellery, I quite like that
pretty yellow colour!
The weather was balmy as I walked to church yesterday. I might have mentioned they are changing the responses to the Catholic mass and it will be official next week. Except people are not embracing the new words and in fact, seem to be sticking to the old responses. The priest was not pleased. It will be interesting to see what happens in the coming weeks. I suspect the old responses will be drowned out by the traditional responses. I saw this fascinating video called '24 hours in Dubai', it's 2 minutes long and quite magical.

Thanks for joining Magical Monday ~ This is quite the diamond ~ and will check out the video ~ Changes in the Mass response ~ that's very interesting ~ namaste, Carol ^_^
The ring is lovely, I have a pendant like that, but mine is just glass - but still very pretty! Hope they don't start fighting in the church over the responses! Valerie
I was a kid the last time they changed any parts of the Mass, and I remember the older people having problems with the new words. I think we'll all get used to it eventually.
mmmmm, very interesting,
Beautiful yellow diamond! Wow! You must have nice hands if you like to wear rings! I gave most of my rings to my daughters 10 years ago when I retired. And yes, I heard about the changes to the liturgy. I haven't been to Mass since 2004.
How interesting! I wish you luck with the changes at church - and that yellow diamond! Gasp - I want one too . . . yes, a costume version would be great! xoxo
oh what a wonderful post Christine!!!! and that canary diamond...oh la la!!!
wow, this would be good for my glass cutter tool...ha ha ha
Gigi, I wouldn't say I have nice fingers and in fact don't wear much jewelry, but I find rings easy to wear compared to say, earrings!
That yellow diamond is exquisite. Thanks for sharing.
Your blog visit and comment over the weekend is much appreciated. xx
I like the color of the yellow diamond too. I have a friend whose husband bought her one large enough to go ice skating on. I'm not a jewelry person, but it is eye catching.
I rather like that the congregation is holding the traditional responses dear to them. I'm an old fashioned girl.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, Christine!!
Good gosh! That's huge. I still prefer the usual clear colored diamond though.
