So you know sometimes people give you weird gifts that you’re not sure how to respond to?
Like diet books? Shudder.
Well last week I got this.
This could be seen as a dig at the fact I am stalked by slugs,
or,
a warm and loving meant gift to help me overcome my fear of their squishy ooziness.
I mean, it’s probably […]
They had not expected to meet a dragon when they set out that morning to visit the land of Chesterfield.
Minstrels and players, yes. Jesters and tumblers, yes. Jugglers on stilts, fairy tale princesses, men battling for the hand of a fair maiden or a free cup of mead, maybe a mad monk or […]
Once upon a time there was a large red tomato. Now this was no ordinary tomato as it had a penchant for disco dancing and tended to do ‘the shuffle’ at any given opportunity. By doing a regular shimmy he rarely got picked by the shoppers at Schmesco as most people […]
The thing is, if we hadn’t stopped him he’d probably have forced it down, even though it was obvious his tastebuds were on the verge of revolt.

Our host today is the lovely Olive. Having been away for the majority of the weekend I kind of forgot to write my post last night as I was a tired lady. In fact, I didn’t even look at the topic till this morning. When I did I thought, oh my Bob, […]
The fabulous and inspirational Lisa from Lisa’s Chaos is our host today, and she wants us to talk about how weird we all are. She says:
“A quirk is defined as a peculiarity of action, behaviour, or personality: mannerism. We are all unique individuals, having quirks that help make us who we […]
I am on catch up, big time, but my reasons are good I promise. This weekend my fabulous, gorgeous, funny and just darn lovely Auntie Frieda and cousin Harriet came to visit. My Auntie Frieda lives in Plymouth so we see her a few times a year but Harriet works in Doha in […]
Jan of the fabulous Prytz family is hosting this week’s Fun Monday. Sorry I’m late everybody, life sometimes intervenes, but my post will be up later.
LATER:
Jan’s theme for the day was walls. She wanted to know about the walls in our homes - what’s on them, the colours, what we […]
