It’s been a funny old week –with extreme highs & extreme lows. Looking back it is probably quite a balanced week though I suppose. I had three disappointments – 2 friends who I was looking forward to getting together with were poorly so had to cancel. Those meetings can be rearranged. Continue reading
Say it with flowers – such an old cliché but how true!
The sending of flowers can be a token of love (think of all those fabulous love poems with roses, violets & many others).
They can be a message of support at times of sorrow, mourning & sadness.
They can be a cheerful ‘Hello!’
These were sent to me by Interflora UK when they read that I was having a pretty miserable time. They are simply beautiful with all my favourite autumnal colours & have SO cheered me up! How wonderful is the twittersphere!
Thank you so much Interflora!
I was not the only lady to receive flowers from Interflora. Rosie Scribble got these lovely roses & Tara Cain’s were matched to the colour of her blog!
How clever is that! So, although this is not a sponsored post, please make sure you use the talents of Interflora UK to send those special messages!
I love Wednesdays! It is the day when OH & I usually go out on a picnic somewhere. It is the day that we have a
slower than usual start so it allows me to sit with a cuppa & look at the entries for the Gallery over at Sticky Fingers.
I have got a good process sorted. I upload my entry & then make a start clicking on the other entries already posted. I read them, comment (can’t see the point of reading & not commenting!), copy the URL then look for their twitter id.
Now I’m aware that not everyone who posts on the Gallery has a twitter account but most do. I’m a firm believer that we should support each other. Not only in reading & commenting on blogs but also by promoting them. For me that means tweeting them.
So…imagine my frustration when I can’t find their twitter id! I try to search for them using my best detective skills to try to fathom out what it might be from the blog name or details. I have to own up – sometimes I get fed up & give up!!
I’m happy to click the twitter label but what would be fab is for twitter names to be clear & easy to find! So, this is a plea from someone who wants to support your blog – please help by being proud of your twitter!
(Many thanks to @vwallop & @jennypaulin for taking immediate action!)
This post is for Writing Workshop at Sleep is for the Weak
I have chosen prompt 2 which is What does depression feel like to you?
I have tried to unpick what happens on some of the occasions the Demons visit.
********
They creep in during the night when the peaceful sleep is momentarily interrupted. They start slowly concentrating on one issue. Questioning your actions – Should you have? Why did you? You should have known better! Useless! Rubbish! Fail, fail, fail! Gradually they up the anti & bring all sorts of things to the front of your mind. They have the pictures – it is so clear. They are SO right. Before you know where you are, your head is spinning.
You wake fully & try to go through the strategies that you have worked out for these times. Eyes close Continue reading
For football fans, the beginning of May can bring hopes & tears. It is nearing the end of the season & for some it can bring movement up or down leagues. The last home game it an opportunity for fans & team to affirm their commitment to each other whatever the months since August have brought & to vow to return to the same arena next season.
So we arrive for our last home game. Continue reading
After finding Jenny’s blog I decided that I wanted to have a go at Alphabe-Thursday. Although I’m a new blogger, I did my research because I know that’s what you do (I read the instructions!)& started to think what I could write about for the next letter.
I chose a picture that would be the centre of my post and here it is:
This is my wonderful OH! He is my rock! He is never naive. He’s nearly a’ new man’. He’s always non-judgemental when I mess up. I’m nuts about him because he is so nice! He is my Nick!
So…did you spot the deliberate mistake? Yes – my research took me to last weeks letter N but having got it ready, I wasn’t going to waste it! Hope that’s Ok!(I will understand if I have to do a detention but it is my first time!)
