Peace and a Nano confession!

Bloggie friends!!

Peace at last? 

Charlie says: Nah, I still rule!

Gumtree says: I like my fluffy toy, Charlie!

And now my confession!

I am actually doing my first NaNo (National Novel Writing Month)! Ahem. 

But I deliberately didn't join any forums etc because I want to do this by myself and see if I can. Here is my progress (apologies to the organisers if I wasn't meant to show this! ) 

As you can see - I have a long long way to go. So forgive me if I disappear for a bit in November while I try and catch up with my word count! Wish me luck! 

p.s. Skyfall was BRILLIANT! Daniel Craig can totally have me! Ahem. Off I go now to have a cold shower. :-)

Shaken and stirred

Bloggie friends!

According to this survey, half of people in the UK will "hide" with a quarter "switching off their lights" to avoid trick or treaters during Halloween night. LOL! Oh dear. I'm very sorry to say that will be me come Wednesday!

Charlie says: I just try and hide from this intruder!

Awwww but please have a great Halloween all of you celebrating it.

Also if you are joining NaNoWriMo (write a novel in 30 days starting 1 Nov, details here) - I wish you all the best!

I won't be blogging come next Monday (Bonfire Night) because.......

I SHALL BE HAVING A DAY OF (James) BOND!! Yes!! I am off to drool over the lovely Daniel Craig in Skyfall! I hope to be shaken AND stirred...

See you all soon, hopefully by 12 November.

Getting to know you

I cannot comprehend

This furry little friend

But neither do I see

Why he is named Gumtree!

by Charlie!

Bloggie friends!

Very early days - lots of hissing and confusion on Charlie's part. Lots of play and wanting to be pals on Gumtree's part. Lots of chocolate and wine on my part! LOL!

Oh and I am very excited that the new James Bond film "Skyfall" is getting some great reviews. I cannot wait to see it! I am DROOLING!!

Have a great week!

Jilted

Oh Danny Boy – you promised me
To be mine for all eternity!
So were joking?
Were they all lies?
Cos now you’ve gone and married
Rachel Weisz?

[a riposte to the headline “Bond Star Craig, marries Oscar Winning actress Rachel Weisz")

Charlie says: I am shaken but not stirred.


Last week in June, bloggie friends!!!! Enjoy!!

Battling

8th March is PANCAKE DAY! Or the start of Lent!

8th March is International Women’s Day!

8th March 2011 is a Tuesday!

8th March is when I beg for Daniel Craig to nurse me back to health. .. *Cough, cough*.

My scintillating blogposts may be sporadic while I battle Mr Virus but I'll still visit y'all. I may however, be slower catching up than normal.

Charlie says: So long as you are not slower than normal with my treats.

Have a healthy week everyone!!

Borrow. A. Librarian.

Oh Charlie look how wet and cold it is outside!

What shall we do?

I know – we can go and borrow a librarian!

Yes, you read it right.

Borrow. A. Librarian.

The fun people at the Writer's Centre in Norwich (Norfolk, Southeast England) are having a "Borrow a Librarian" weekend in June.

This is their publicity for it.
****************************************************************

Borrow Me! The Human Library

Imagine borrowing a person from your local library in the same way you would borrow a book. How easily would you ‘read’ the book? Would you find what you expected to, and can you really judge a book by its cover?
*****************************************************************

Now if my local library staff look like this:

Then I'm putting a reservation to borrow one for overnight and will be quite willing to pay any late charges.

Have a lovely book-filled Monday everyone!

Dan's Ice Lolly

I’m sad.

Why?

I’ve just heard the most godawful news. Oh woe is me, woe, woe, woe!

And thrice woe.

What is this horrid news, I hear you cry?

Your story didn’t win another competition? You failed your course? You discovered an adolescent pimple growing on your mature but young looking skin???? :-)

Your favourite heels broke?

Oh worse Beautiful bloggie friends. Worse.

The new James Bond film has been put on hold due to MGM’s financial woes.

Sigh.

On the weird side someone somewhere has made a Daniel Craig Ice Lolly.

One is obviously a Martian.

Have a happy shaken not stirred Wednesday everyone!
