Rob over at the V-Pub has nominated me to take part in this challenge. Please go and check out his blog if you haven’t already; he has lots of things to tickle your fancy, both naughty and nice!
In this challenge, I have to list ten things that I love and then ten things that I hate. Then, I’ll nominate 10 bloggers to do the same. Here goes:
Things I love:
- I love to laugh.
- Seeing the sunshine, that always makes me feel happy.
- Hearing my daughter’s laugh (she has a cute little screechy giggle)
- Enjoying a BBQ with friends and family
- Blogging of course 🙂
- Learning new things. Knowledge is a wonderful thing that I can’t get enough of!
- Flowers, especially scented roses and sweet peas…..beautiful.
- Swimming, especially in the sea
- Getting lost in a really good book
- Music especially from 60s, 70s and my favourite the 80s!
Things I hate:
- Bad manners. There really is no excuse for this.
- Trying to lose weight…where on earth is my willpower?
- Heights, I really am hopeless with heights and can’t even look at things on tv if it shows a view from on top of a high building or something
- Cruelty of any kind whether to animals or humans!
- Scammers. Those that prey on the elderly and the vulnerable.
- Brussel sprouts and broad beans….YUCK!
- Daddy-long-legs, wasps and other creatures!
- Scraping ice off the car in the winter!
- Being woken up when I have fallen asleep on the settee!
- Shouty people.
Here are my 10 nominees for the Challenge should they wish to join in (there is of course, no obligation)
Ah, so many of your loves/hates that I could’ve used. I’m an absolute coward when it comes to heights. I can’t stand the relatively safe Ferris Wheel because I know it will stop at the top. Thanks for joining in and I look forward to the answers from your nominees!

Thanks for the nomination! So many of your ‘loves’ are mine too – except swimming, not a favourite of mine except on a steaming hot day with absolutely NO wind – how rare is that in the UK?!

Great lists 🙂 I too love the scent of flowers, wallflowers are a favourite. Isn’t it sad that so few roses are scented these days? Sort of with you on the music but not the 80’s even though that was my era! At the time I loved Duran Duran and all the synth bands such as Human League and Depeche Mode. Now I want the Rolling Stones and plenty of Motown. With you on most of your Hate list 🙂 Although living in the country has made me braver about creatures, there are just too many critturs to keep up with! Having said that, flies will always die, because I know where they are likely to have been – I’m quite skilled at killing them with the back of my hand.

For the ones I miss there is the Electronic Racquet of Doom – flies fizzle with a satisfying plume of smoke!

Oh Mr Grump has one of those, does it look like a tennis racquet? It frightens me to death whenever he hits one as it makes a really loud pop!

I love reading lists like these… They tell a lot… And make me think about what we have in common…
I thought of you today… First day of winter and we had a miserably cold 13degrees Celsius … How was the first day of summer in sunny Kent? ( or do I have the wrong county? )

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
