Writing on the wall

Bloggie friends!

Inspired by the pic of the handwriting of the lovely Jayne of Novice Novelist, I thought I’d post mine here too and perhaps visually explain the reason why I will forever and a day worship the ground of whoever invented the typewriter and the keyboard.


Charlie says: I do not worship whoever invented the flashy thing.


Booo it's Monday! LOL!!

What's rain for?

Bloggie friends!!

What a silly day!! Not only did it rain heavily but the window cleaners were out in force around the estate where I live.

Yes bloggie friends!! These poor souls were wearing yellow fluorescent waterproofs splashing water on rain soaked windows.

Oh but worse!!! As I meandered towards the station, some person had their lawn sprinkler going. While it rained.

Oh well. At least I got to wear my rather fabulous and dazzling Hunter Biker kick-ass (pardon my French!) wellies!

Charlie says: I smell rainwater and soapsuds!


Have a fortunate Friday and whacky weekend everyone!!!

Blast from the Past

Bloggie friends !!!!

One of my favourite writerly method is to keep a scrapbook of images of places, faces, etc to create a visual representation of my fictionalised world.

The above is the delectable Barbara Stanwyk.

Thank you so much for reading my blogfest entry - I really appreciate it!!! Thank you Summer Ross for the opportunity!

Charlie says: While you blather on about this and that, I play with my string!

Happy Thursday everyone!

Out and In!

Blogfest time bloggie friends! But this is short n sweet so please don’t go away! LOL!

I am to post the last sentence of one of my stories from 2010 and the beginning sentence of one of my new stories written in 2011 (further details of the fest found here).

The following is my entry:

“Now I am hungry,” the voice said as the green haze consumed him, “And I need to feed.”

Sidney Marshall loved the flicks but he never thought he’d fall for someone the spit of Barbara Stanwyk.

Thanks to lovely Summer Ross of My Inner Fairy and happy birthday to you!

Charlie says: While you blogfest away, I stare at this handsome fellow staring at me!


Have a wassup Wednesday everyone!

An Epic Encounter

Bloggie friends!!

Today I had my chipped tooth fixed.

Now I know as a wannabe writer of stories I ought to be able to describe as lyrically and poetically as I can a day at the dentist. So here is my writerly take on it.

******************************
My day at the dentist:

OW. Ouchie. Ow. Ow. Ow. OWWWWW!!! That HURT! Please stop. No seriously. Put. That. Needle. Away.

The end

Charlie says: While you were at the dentist, I was hiding in your clothes.

Have a twirly Tuesday everyone!

A Palate's Paradise

I learned a valuable lesson today bloggie friends!

I learned that a cake will always taste better with a topping.

For months now I baked my courgette cake sans the topping of the recipe (cos I was so concerned about the calories!) and whereas I liked the cake, none of my friends or family did.

So this time round I succumbed and made the topping – cream cheese, sugar and a bit of lemon.

And by golly the cake tastes incredible! Like paradise on my palate!


Of course there’s a life lesson here to be had for me. But I’m too busy wiping the cream off my hands and mouth to think about it too much!

Charlie says: I doubt very much that there'd be any leftover cream for me!


Have a tolerable Monday everyone!!

Thanks to Em's Shabby Shack for her fab courgette recipe, found here!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SAMMY AND ANDY'S MUM, THE LOVELY JUDI!! YAY!!

Peek-a-boo!

Charlie says: I see new and exciting things for everyone just round the corner!

HAPPY NEW YEAR BLOGGIE FRIENDS!!

MAY YOUR 2011 BE FULL OF AMAZING AND TOTALLY FABULOUS LITTLE SURPRISES! And cat and/or doggie furrs! LOL!
