So, earlier this morning I received a concerning email which prompted me to post about Strange Emails.

Well, what can I say but that the email content itself was a little confusing…

“To set your password, click here…”

I hadn’t requested anything? Why would l want to do anything password related??!!

Well, the mystery has been somewhat solved!

The blogger behind My Theory, originally found at https://mtheory123.wordpress.com/ has changed from the WP free site to self-hosted. He was trying to migrate his followers to his new site, Shining Theory, http://www.shiningtheory.com/.

Therefore we received these emails.

I have since confirmed this and am now safe in the knowledge that no one is trying to use WP to spam, or scam, my site, or yours!!!!

If you have received an email from this blogger, this is the reason.

I haven’t set any passwords, as it was requested, but simply refollowed on the new web address!

Thank you and Good night!

Day 12 of Linda’s #JusJoJan challenge, hosted by herself again today!

The Just Jot It January 12th prompt, brought to you by Tessa of the blog Always A Writer, is: “Tingle.” Use it any way you’re inspired to. And make sure you stop by and say hi to Tessa as well! Here’s her blog: https://finallyawriter.com/

A little poem I wrote …

Crush

Just a little tingle
of excitement
Just a frisson
of joy
Not wanting to
get too happy
Need to act
a little coy

Need to keep
myself in check
Or else the world
will see
How much I
am affected
Because today
he looked at me!

I woke this morning to a stray email in my inbox…

Oh!

Why do I need to reset my password?

I checked the senders email address.

I even looked at this Shining Theory website.

But I wasn’t convinced… no one else has contacted me from this blog… no one else follows me from them…

So I replied to the email.

To get this…

Hmmm……

Dodgy!

Beware Peeps. Don’t go changing passwords if you haven’t requested a new one.

This is rather strange.

However, if I’m being stupid,do let me know and I’ll click on the link …

Sasha’s back with the second prompt for #Writespiration.

Your challenge is to write your story using the weekly theme/prompt and write it in just 52 words…. EXACTLY, no more, no less.

Submit your entries in the comments or on a blog post and I post them the following week with the new prompt. You have until Sunday to enter.

This week’s prompt is to write about the badly timed trump!!

So… here goes…

She could feel the pressure building.

The music was loud. Surely letting one go wouldn’t hurt…

They slipped out to the beat of Beyonce’s latest release.

Relief.

Last one.

Out it came, loud and proud, as the dj faded the tune out so the Groom, her new husband, could start his speech.

There you go Sacha!!!!

As part of #JusJoJan, day 25, Linda has asked that we take part in her weekly One-Liner Wednesday Challenge!

The rules are:

1. Make it one sentence.
2. Try to make it either funny or inspirational.
3. Use our unique tag #1linerWeds.
4. Add our very cool badge to your post for extra exposure!
5. Have fun!

Something silly today. I just got myself hooked on Instagram this summer, and use it to post photos of my food and cat! But as I scroll down my followed peeps, sometimes I do get this feeling…

“Ouch, I hurt my finger…Quick, can I catch that ‘sorry for me pout’ for my Insta?”

I sometimes find it hard to comprehend why we need selfies for every emotion, sometimes 10 times a day! But then, I have done it (only once or twice!)… so I can’t comment!

Incidentally,if you fancy following … you can find me on Instagram at @phantom_giggler!
