I was wracking my brains for what to use for TJ’s household challenge this week as our prompt is ‘house number,’ Mine is not as fancy as TJ’s pretty enamel one so I thought of other numbers around the house instead, as he suggested.
I decided that the TV remote controls were a good choice. Plenty of numbers on there to be getting on with! Wales are playing Scotland (who England beat) in the 6 Nations Rugby Cup today, and Mr Grump is glued despite his constant snuffles, snorts and sneezes spoiling his enjoyment! (Man flu has arrived and he is actually really poorly)!
Anyway, here is my haiku!
Hogging the controls
Channel surfing drives me mad
Is it a man thing???
Ha, ha! Yes it’s a man thing! I often wonder if they were born clutching the controls. Well executed 🙂

We have stupid wooden house numbers and they run verticaly so that makes them even more stupid.
I did find the old house number in those antique ceramic tile that were so popular 100 years ago. Someone had tucked them away in the coat closet and one day I will get crafty and display them again.

I bet those old numbers will look great when you put them up 🙂

I hope so, thanks.
I think now I’m happy to have stupid numbers, compared to having a sufferer of the dreaded man-flu.

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.
