Word Association

Someone says “France” and I think …

French
summer
food

So, tell us, what 3 words do you think of when I say “France”?

Panic

We had NO INTERNET yesterday morning.
Let me say that it again so that it sinks in with you my fellow junkies – NO INTERNET!

I couldn’t post my question/check my emails/play Scrabulous … it was awful.

What would you have done?

Dear diary …

 I never could keep a diary going, I remember receiving one of those lockable ones as a pre-teen and a 5 year one as a teenager … pah! 2 days usually ~ Christmas day and Boxing day usually!  Yet, I’ve managed to keep my blog going for nearly 2 years.  I do have a diary now, [...]

Peace

There’s a bench under a tree at the far end of my mother’s garden.  It’s just a simple little wooden bench, no fancy-schmancy cushion BUT it’s just so peaceful there!  I sit, I gaze (not really looking) and I think.  I escape.

Do you ever wish you could just sit, find a quiet spot away from everyone?  So, [...]

Either or?

Pink or blue?
Oranges or grapefruit?
Rock or country?
Flats or heels?
Late night or early morning?

Lucky

I am off to France today, for the whole of the summer – I truly do know how lucky I am. Honest.
So, tell us, what makes you know how lucky you are?

Smile, click!

What photos are there on your camera? You know, the ones that you haven’t downloaded/had developed yet?

I have photos of my trip to the airport on Tuesday … we were taking Vicky there so that she could fly up to Glasgow to visit her dad for a few days.

Bleugh

I have a sore throat and a temperature.  I’m thinking first “cold” of the winter.  What would you do at this point? … aspirin and hot lemon?  Back to bed?  Plenty of liquid?  Or … stoically ride it out?

Puppy dog tails

Do you have sons? Are they the type that was made of frogs and snails and bits of puppy? Or are/were they pristine and clean?

What about your daughters? All sugar and spice or is there a dollop or two of frog in there too?

Lately

Do you stay up late?  Or are you an early bird?

This afternoon

I will mostly be watching the RBS Six Nations Rugby – it’s the last match. My fingers, eyes and legs will be crossed.

What about you, what will you be doing this afternoon?

WordPress or Blogger or who?

To meet your blogging needs who do you use? And why?

Changes

If you could do it ALL again? What would you do different?

Little things?
Something major?
Nothing?

Culinary opportunities

“When life hands you lemons, make lemonade*” – I have always thought that was good advice.  BUT what about when life hands you other things?

Tell me, what do you make if life hands you peas?  Or minced (ground) beef?  Or brown bread?

* Or reach for the salt and tequila depending on the hour of the [...]

What shall we do with the drunken sailor?

Madness!  Madness I call it!  Stupidity in fact.  I’ve just read this article in the Telegraph online.

In the UK, Bookstart, a national programme to encourage children to read, has amended the words of the song, penned in 1891, from “drunken sailor” to “grumpy pirate”.  The sobered-down version of the rhyme has been criticised by the [...]
