Another chrismas party to get us all in the mood! Pop over to Marje’s blog to sample all sorts of delights!!!!
Welcome………

Let’s have a big splash, a veritable Mad Hatters Xmas Party…. Invite masses of bloggers over to share cake, music, their links and stories. Wait a minute, it’s a bit cold for swimming… so let’s pop over to Winter Wonderland.
So first things first – provisions – I’m off to Cambridge market to get some nibbles…. I better wrap up warm, it looks cold out there. I’m just starting to recover from a bit of a nasty illness. No worry, I’m sure some hot jacket potatoes, olives, tasty bread, cheeses, fruit, and whatever else takes my fancy, will warm me up and make me feel much better. Don’t worry, I promise not to eat it all!

Now with that done, phew these bags are heavy. How are we going to get to Winter Wonderland? We could walk but that would be boring, and Kyrosmagica doesn’t do boring. So, let’s go ….

Why is it Sonu Singh thinks we can’t see him half the time he’s hiding? I managed to capture a few shots of him in his hiding prime over the last few months…
1)
Spot the kitty! (My favourite!)
2)
Loves clothes!
3)
I am so not here!!
4)
His favourite place at the moment!
Told you he’s a bit of a nut job…but we love him!!

“Smile in the mirror. Do that every morning and you’ll start to see a big difference in your life.” – Yoko Ono
Thanks for this one Spidey.
It’s a reminder I feel a heck of a lot of people I know could do with right now.
If you know me, you’ll know that I seldom have anything but a smile on my face. I rarely plaster foundation and cosmetics on my face, my makeup is my smile.
And as long as I have a smile on my face, there is so much in life that feels easier to deal with.
I’m not a total dreamer though. I know that having a smile plastered on your face 24/7 is not going to magically make all problems disappear.
In fact, many of those that have a smile regularly, are often those who are going through a lot in the background of their life, but like a clown, that smile masks everything else.
It’s true of me too. Life is seldom smooth sailing. There is always something bubbling away in my mind, but for me, facing life with a smile really does help.
It’s also good exercise, you know! We use more muscles to smile than to frown!
And a smile is often contagious. If you beam at someone, or give a little smile, you’ll often receive one in return, or if you don’t you may have given someone a little spark of positivity that they will hopefully allow to ignite into a full smile a bit later!
I found a lovely article here on some facts about smiling. Be sure to check it out!
So make sure you smile Peeps, at yourself, and at others. It’ll make for a better day! 🙂

Linda’s prompt for #SoCS this week…
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “moot.” Use it as the theme of your post or just use the word in a stream of consciousness post about something else. Enjoy!
Now, Linda, that’s not fair!
Not a nice easy pre-Christmas, festive prompt!
So I ended up with this nonsense rhyme! Hope you enjoy 🙂
“The prompt”, she said, “is moot.”
But it just didn’t compute
Some might think it a beaut
But it’s rendered me almost mute!
So I’ll just rhyme with it – Bandicoot
And there’s also passionfruit
How about lawsuit?
Or maybe cowboy boot?
Not before I convolute
And you, my Peeps, dispute
I really must just shoot
I hope you had a hoot!
