Karaoke

"She saw a perfect reflection of herself in Paris Hilton’s latest paparazzi pic.
The face in her compact mirror screamed Katy Perry though. Happy, she ordered
the soul food special and tucked in. "

The End

Today's 33 word story includes these three words mirror, reflection, soul. Thanks to the lovely Ellie!

Karaoke. Discuss.
:-)

Karaoke is not really my cup of tea but it was rolled out as a "treat" by my managers at the end of our tortuous Staff Away Day Let's Talk Strategies and Projections So We Can All Keep our Jobs time yesteday.

My throat at the moment is hurting badly from belting out such classics as "Enough is Enough" by the divine Ms Streisand and glorious Ms Summer and "Nine to Five" by the irrepressible Ms Parton

Charlie says: I hope your work colleagues had ear plugs. Pfhtphfphhhtpppt!

Have a singalong Wednesday everyone!

Wild Expectations

This lovely bloggie friends, was a very pale, very delicate, very patient butterfly or moth that was sunning itself on my front door.

I do not do it justice here.

And this wise bloggie friends, was a verdant grasshopper, impeccable and flawless – a uniform green amidst the yellow of my rose.

Honest.

There's a reason why I've taken to writing stories.

Wildlife photography is definitely not my forte!

Charlie says: Go away, these are mine, all mine!

Thank you Deborah for Charlie's pressies!!!

Have a wild Tuesday everyone!

Gremlins

Thank you all so much for your birthday wishes for Charlie!! You are all fabulous and beyond lovely!!!!

He spent the day asleep and early evening pottering around.

Oh sorry, that’s what I wish I did instead of going to work! LOL!

Charlie says: Unless you open up my box of pressies you are invisible to me.


My internet connection is suffering a mild dizzy spell – it’s taken me an hour to log in here at home so sorry for this very short post!

I have no idea what’s wrong with my router and connections and I'm too frazzled to ring the help centre.

I’m ignoring the mischievous glint in Charlie’s eye…

Have a macaroon filled Monday everyone!

My Perfect Companion

I sought you out and you were brought to me
Looking lost and a little shy
Your preferences were a mystery
I had to start from scratch.

How to understand your little purrs
How to listen to your heartfelt sighs
How to brush your long fur
What toy you loved the most

(Mr MacDoonagoogle)!

Nearly four months you’ve been with me
A sumptuous eternity
Today you turn eight years old

Today I dedicate this post

To you my perfect companion

Happy birthday my glorious Charlie!

And a happy Fourth of July to my American bloggie friends!

Have a cracking Sunday everyone!

A Dish Best Served Cold

Charlie says: PPTHHPTHPFFTHPPPT!!!

After I pretend to lose his box of pressies!

10 minutes later...

REVENGE!

And this is all I am able to upload today without twisting my spine permanently as I try to use the keyboard!

Have a summer of loving Saturday everyone!

The Back of Beyond

The diagram above, kind bloggie friends, illustrates how you should sit on your chair when at your office area in the home or at work. :-)

The science is explained here.

So you writers and desktop/laptop users out there - now you know why you have back pain and muscle strain from hunching over your keyboard.

It's not you - it's your furniture!

But do not fret lovely bloggie friends. The perfect chair and pc desktop table have already been invented!

Eh Voila!!!

Charlie says: Double sigh. Mad woman still hasn't opened my pressies.



Have a floofy Friday everyone!!

Thank you so much for reading my little story, thank you! Me and Charlie love you all!

And speaking of love - this month of July is a Birthday Bonanza Month!!!

Today my silly blog turns 6 months old.

And on US Independence Day (drum roll please) Charlie turns 8 years old! How cool is that?!?!?!

And exactly seven days later on the 11th… guess who goes over the hill and under the bush and round the side of that manky looking ditch?!?!?

YES, kind and lovely bloggie friends, on that day, I’ll be – AHEM – 41!

Charlie says: I'm still waiting for madame oldie to open my pressies. Sigh.

Have a technicolour Thursday everyone!
