Free-For-All Friday

March 25, 2016/Judy E Martin/11 Comments

Well here we are, Friday again, and this time, a very Good Friday – in more ways than one!

Of course, I have got a few Easter treats lined up for your enjoyment which I am sure you will enjoy. Please go and visit their blogs for plenty more goodies.

Deborah Drezon Carroll, Author Now, I love to have a laugh, and sometimes will write a rather tongue-in-cheek post. I never want to cause offense to anybody, but as Debby has found out, some people need to lighten up a bit! I thought this post was brilliant, and so is Debby for sticking up for this blogger!

Barsetshire Diaries I love David’s blog. He has a very entertaining way of telling a story,not to mention a fantastic taste in music! Oh, and he gives the BEST hugs too!

Dublin Housewife This is just one of those blogs that really makes me laugh. Maybe it is the Irish accent that does it but I love her expressions and banter with ‘Jimmy.’ Absolutely brilliant!

The Writer Next Door I was totally blown away by this story, and I am not normally a lover of that genre at all! I loved the sensuality of it, and the surprise ending too!Well, there you have an Easter Eggstravaganza (sorry, couldn’t resist it),

Well, there you have an Easter Eggstravaganza (sorry, couldn’t resist it). Enjoy!

Happy Friday, and to those that celebrate it, Happy Easter!

Guess who came to dinner on Friday? It was none other than the lovely Daffy ( well actually it is Sandra), the wonderful person behind Wild Daffodil blog.

She was up this way on a textiles course and asked if we wanted to meet up. Of course, I did! After all, we had been in contact for a while, and as is the way with blogging, I already felt that I knew her quite well, so it would be a delight to meet her in person.

I was certainly not disappointed. Daffy is bright, bubbly and a real pleasure to be around. She is also very artistic and creative which sadly, I am not! It was wonderful looking at what she had made in her textile course and the thought and love she puts into her projects.

We had a very pleasant evening with lots of laughs, (even Mr Grump was cracking smiles). Unfortunately, it was over too soon though as the time had raced by at an alarming rate.

The whole experience just reinforced my belief of how wonderful and genuine bloggers are. We both certainly agreed that we are privileged to belong to such a wonderful community of friends.

Cindy Knoke. This is a lovely post and makes me proud to be a part of this wonderful blogging community.

Stuff and What if… I loved this….both the images and the imagery!

Fourth Generation Farm Girl Tonya shares a brilliant way to beat stress with us here!

I know you are going to love all of these. Enjoy!

Happy Friday!

It’s Friday, it’s Springtime (ahem, for some of us), and I have got a plethora of posts for your delight. Please go and visit these wonderful blogs as you are sure to find many more delights lurking there!

Wendy of the Rock This post made me laugh, I could totally relate to it as well, sadly!

Like Mercury Colliding I just loved this. Kat wrote the perfect haiku for it.

Annette’s Place This is a lady after my own heart, and I enjoyed this.

Wild Daffodil Daffy is so clever and creative and this is just one of the many brilliant things she has made.

So there you have a real mixed bag of goodies to keep you going! Enjoy!

This week has passed by in the blink of an eye and here we are, it’s Friday again! I have of course got an assortment of goodies for you to get stuck into over the weekend. Please take some time to visit these wonderful blogs to see what other treasure they have hidden there!

Daily Echo I thought that I was pretty good at spelling and grammar. After reading this post I realise that I have failed miserably, and am not up to the standards set by our government for SEVEN year olds!

Homemade Naturally Donna has some really great ideas and I loved this one!

For Friends Without Borders, This is Rob’s brand new blog and a wonderful concept. He had given about 30 of us admin rights so that we can all share this blog and publish whatever we choose; wonderful freedom for some of us that have to be a little more discreet on our own blogs!

How The Cookie Crumbles Tess is one of those people that I really envy! Her ability to tell a gripping and entertaining short story is brilliant.

A Certain Point of View One of my favourite poets has done it again! This is just so bloody funny you will LOVE it!

Free-for-all Friday

Welcome to another Friday Free-for-all where I have found a selection of brilliant posts that I have enjoyed reading this week. As usual, I have tried to choose a wide selection for your delight! Please do go and visit these blogs as they all have other tasty treats for you to sample!

A Certain Point of View I love Al’s blog. The fact that he likes poems of all kinds as I do just adds to my enjoyment. This one is so understated, but tickled me nonetheless!

Dream Big Dream Often This is an inspirational article written by Danny that really touched me. Here is a man that has some serious medical issues yet he is such a support and help to others, never too busy to interact with the many bloggers that follow him.

Behind the White Coat What I love about our favourite doctor is that fact that she is so down to earth and has a great sense of humour! This post made me laugh my head off, probably because I have been there!

My Spanglish Familia La Sabrosona is a very creative, innovative, and imaginative person; just look at this post to see why!

Single Family Asylum Oh this post takes me back. I really felt for him – once I had finished laughing my head off that is!

So there is your little selction box this week. Enjoy!

Happy Friday!

It’s here again, fabulous Friday where I get to share some of the fantastic posts that I have read during the last week. I have a veritable feast for you this week too which I am sure you are going to enjoy. Please do go and visit these blogs as you don’t want to miss out on their other goodies they have for you.

Elusive Trop A lovely, simple haiku, but written with a lot of thought, that really appealed to me.

La Vie est trop courte pour boire du mauvais vin TJ always has such a stunning collection of beautiful photographs to showcase his stories and haikus. I, of course, chose this one!

Hugh’s Views and News I love this post, and laughed my head off when I saw the video!

Dandelion Fuzz A lovely, heart-warming post

Dublin Housewife A lovely tribute to Sir Terry Wogan by our favourite Dublin housewife, in her own unique style.

Steve Says I don’t really have to say anything about this post, the pictures say it all!

Tea and Paper This was such a lovely post and gorgeous photo to match.

So there you have it, some wonderful posts to keep you entertained. Enjoy!

Well, here we are with another week having whizzed past and the end of January approaching at breakneck speed!

I have had quite a busy week, all in all, but have still found some great posts to share with you. As always, please go and visit these blogs if you haven’t already, and have a good old rummage around!

Kyrosmagica Marje had me in stitches with this post. I am sure you will love it too.

Ronovan Writes This was a very helpful and informative post. Ronovan shares some hints and tips with us on good writing. He is a real fountain of knowledge and a great help and support to other writers and bloggers as well. He also manages to find time to host his ‘Flash Fiction Fridays’ and also his ‘Weekly Haiku Prompt’ which is personally one of my favourite challenges!

Terri Webster Schrandt Some more useful tips for bloggers struggling to find inspiration.

So there you have my short and sweet nibbles for this week. Enjoy!

Happy Friday!

Welcome to another Free for All. I have got some great posts to share with you again this week. I know many of you already follow the same blogs as I do, but I do try and vary the posts that I share. There are so many wonderful bloggers out there that always post brilliant posts, so it is can be tricky choosing one in particular. That is why I always recommend that you visit the blogs to discover all the other little treats that await you.

Days of Stone I loved this haiku. Ryan has such a talent for writing them, that I had chosen another one of his to feature this week, forgetting I already had this one! That is why it is worth going to pay him a visit as he has so much to offer.

Willowdot21 This was a great poem that really appealed to me, great fun!

Nutsrok I am sure many of you are familiar with the lovely and extremely funny Linda. If not you soon will want to be finding out more about her after reading this!

So there you have a few tasty morsels to nibble on this week. Enjoy!

Happy Friday!

It’s Friday again and time for me to share some of my favourite posts. This week, as usual, I have chosen a delicious assortment of goodies for your delectation! Please do visit these blogs to have a nose around, as there is so much more on offer.

A New Perspective Perhaps This post was short and to the point. It is something I think many of us are guilty of, in one way or another.

The Phil Factor This post made me laugh, although in some ways it is a bit scary!

DoubleU This really resonated with me. Sometimes, especially at the moment, I just hate going out too, and if I do, I just want to get back home as soon as possible.

Thoughts and Entanglements This is lovely, I could almost feel the slight breeze in my hair!

Deb Was Here Deb pays tribute to a very special person, which brought a lump to my throat.

Bun Karyudo Who says romance is dead? A wonderful heartfelt post with a touch of humour, This was right up my street.

So there you have a mixed selection of goodies to take you through the weekend. Enjoy!

Happy Friday!
