I am really getting into writing these Haikus (if that is the correct plural). For Ronovan’s Challenge this week we have been given the words ‘time’ and ‘new.’
This is my attempt for this week.
A New Spring Outfit
Trees stripped and naked
Silent, seems frozen in time
Spring brings a new dress

Thanks again OM for a wonderful opportunity 🙂
Today for the Blogging From A-Z Challenge we have the rather spiky letter ‘K.’ However although it may look all prim and proper, I have found a lovely word that is far from it! Ready…. we are going to kick off with….
Kinky. Ooooh, the fun we could have with this word! It is the skin-tight rubber catsuit, with 6 inch heels, thigh-high boots kind of word. It is the handcuffs, feathers and hot wax sort of games you could play,
The frolics with fruit. the ‘whipping’ into a frenzy, and the……use your imagination with no limits type of behaviour, that I am far too polite to go into here, kind of fun.
Phew! After all that kinkiness, it is time to calm down and talk about its other meaning, which is twisted.(actually that could be applied to some of the deviant practices enjoyed by the other type of kinky, just depends what floats your boat)! It is the curly, springy, type of hairstyle, or even the knotted and contorted garden hose that won’t work until you have straightened it out and then, rewards you by blasting you in the face with a spurt of freezing water!
Oh yes, kinky is a wonderful word, with countless possibilities!
I’m going to a party 🙂
This week marks my two year blogiversary, and I decided that the best way to celebrate would be to invite you all to my blog party!
It has been quite a while since I last hosted a blog party, and I absolutely love them, so I’d like you all to put on your best outfits, grab a drink (mine is a Mojito for anyone that’s interested) and get your blog on! For those of you that have never participated in one before, the rules are simple:
1. Choose your favourite post from your own blog. The subject of the post can be anything you like – blogging, food, parenting, life, travel, thoughts, photography… Note: This should be only one post at a time or it will get sent straight to the ‘spam’ folder and I may not be able to find you for a while. I don’t have an issue…

It is getting near to the end of the Daydreamer’s Challenge, and the lovely Caitlin would like to know which day we have enjoyed the most and why.
My favourite day was yesterday, day 6 of the Challenge. The reason for this is we got to answer some questions from other bloggers. I think you find out more about a person from this kind of interaction, and it is something a little different too. I feel that it beings us a ll just a little closer which is really lovely.
One of the posts that I have enjoyed reading this week, is by Sophie Speaks Up. This blog is very funny, but Sophie’s enthusiasm really shines through as well. Her excitement when getting notifications that someone has read or commented on her blog I can really relate to. She has gained a lot of followers in a short time which is due to her creative and funny ways with words.
I would like to thank Caitlin very much for organising this challenge. It has been a lot of fun as well as very enlightening to participate in, I am thrilled that she is going to host another challenge in August, and will be signing up for sure!
Coming to the end of the challenge now. I have really enjoyed it though.
Dear Awesome Reader,
We have come to the end of the Daydreamer Challenge! I can’t believe how quickly it has gone! Thank you so much to all of for joining in the challenge and thank you for making it so successful!
Because of how much I have enjoyed it, I will do another Daydreamer Challenge in the summer holidays in August!
Now, I have a confession…
I couldn’t keep track of the points! I’m sorry but all of you who took part got well over 100 points and there were too many points to be given!
So for everyone who completed the Daydreamer Challenge, I will be writing some nice things about your blog and linking to my favourite post that you did.
Firstly though, today’s challenge is to write about what your favourite day of the Daydreamer Challenge was and why, what were your favourite posts that other…

A sister is a good friend
Who knows you very well
A sister is a confidante
To whom secrets you can tell
A sister is a shoulder
To cry on when you’re sad
A sister is a comfort
For when things turn out bad
A sister is a treasure
More precious than pure gold
A sister can be relied on
Whatever the future holds
A sister will support you
In all you say and so
A sister is a Godsend
And lucky me to have two!
You are never too old for a bit of loving, and when you get to 82, you know a trick or two about the best places to go when you want to pick someone up for a bit of fun!
Now a lay-by on a busy road doesn’t spring to mind as a great pick-up joint, but this particular pensioner(named Mr Cockerill) knew his stuff, and after attending a meeting far from home, decided that he could do with a bit of light relief. He set off with high hopes and was thrilled to find that another vehicle was already there.
Mr Cockerill could hardly contain his excitement and decided to introduce himself to his prospective partner. The truck driver, a man in his 40s we rather surprised to suddenly find a face at his open window, and thought that the aged gent was in need of some help.
Mr Cockerill, meanwhile had spotted the bunk in the cabin, and was anticipating a bit of comfort as well as passion, and gestured to the truck driver, the cosy cabin. Unfortunately, he was a bit slow on the uptake judging by his vacant expression, so Mr Cockerill decided that he had better make his intentions a little clearer.
He put his hands through the window and gently caressed his way to the prize he was hoping to get. No luck! The stunned recipient of his amorous advances, suddenly came to and ‘nudged’ Mr Cockerill’s hand out of the way. Although he was taught to respect his elders, the driver did not appreciate the groping and called the police!
They duly came out to arrest Mr Cockerill. Apparently the truck driver was totally unaware of the reputation of the lay-by for fun and frolics, and he was there awaiting to be loaded up with pig feed! Hardly the most romantic of reasons!
Mr Cockerill had got it very wrong in his assumption that he would have a bit of ‘afternoon delight’ and has now ended up on the sex register!
You couldn’t make it up!
After the beautiful weather yesterday we had decided that we would have a BBQ today and invite the family over. We had tidied up the garden in preparation and were going out today to get the necessary supplies needed to feed a family of ‘good eaters!’
This morning I actually got up late for me and still felt tired. Mr Grump had already been out to walk the dog and I hadn’t even heard him get up. I went downstairs and looked out to see it was raining, and cold, and according to Mr Grump windy as well, Now I know this is typical British BBQ weather, but we decided that we would cancel it for another day.
Shopping still had to be done, so we finally got around to doing that after we had put our bets on for the ‘Grand National!’ Now we never usually do any betting here except for this one-off occasion. Usually some of the family like to gather together to watch it as we all have a go, and cheer on our horses.
My younger sister was going to come up and watch it with us, so we decided to put some bits on the BBQ anyway as her husband would come after work. Of course, because we had cancelled it the weather perked up a bit, but it was too late by then to get everyone to come.
Between us all we had a good few horses in the race to cheer on, but there were 20 fallers this year which is pretty awful really. Anyway, as our horses went one by one, out of the race, near the end the 2 of the ones Miss Hap picked were still in, one of mine and one of my sister’s. Needless to say mine so close to winning suddenly came 5th, my sister’s 4th and Miss Hap’s 3rd. She always picks the best horses every year.
Next year I will choose the same horses as her, as my technique of choosing horses with catchy names or pretty coloured jackets isn’t cutting it!
