You know I mean The Annual Bloggers Bash Awards, and not Abba the group, don’t you?!

Well, last year, I attended the second bash and it was amazing to finally physically meet bloggers who I had interacted with for over a year!

This year it promises to be even bigger and better, and the committee have set up a competition for all bloggers to enter, with some amazing prizes!

There is a little fee, but it is for funding the bash, and making it even more amazing than before!

For some reason I couldn’t just repost or share the post, but if you click here, you will get to the original post, so you can see if you would like to enter!

I have decided to attempt Linda’s Just Jot It January Challenge (#JusJoJan) this year. Whether I’ll be able to post daily is another matter, but I shall try!

The Just Jot It January 1st prompt, brought to you by Barb of ghostmmnc, is: “Spider.” Use it any way you’re inspired to. And make sure you stop by and say hi to Barb as well! Here’s her blog: https://teleportingweena.wordpress.com/ .

Spider

On this first day of the new year
It is common to have no fear
To weave a spider’s web of dreams
Of targets that you wish to achieve
To brush those old cobwebs away
And allow new ones to make their way
Give yourself a fighting chance
Choose wisely, skills you wish to enhance
Small steps are better than none
Learn to walk before you run
The spider starts with just one strand
Before creating something grand

Linda’s SoCS prompt this week.

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “first/last.” Use one or both words, or find words that mean the same. Bonus points if you start your post with “first/beginning/start” etc. and end with “last/end” etc. Enjoy!

First thought with this prompt
Can I write a good haiku?
The final word… last

First, I just have to say, thanks to Linda for this SoCS challenge. I have really enjoyed participating this year. Daily challenges are not easy for me, with work, but weekly ones, I am able to handle!

It’s been fun, writing off the cuff with given prompts, made me think a little outside the box on occasion too!

And long do I hope to continue taking part!

Now, I will stop rambling… I know what you’re thinking… she’s shut up… at LAST!

Sue’s photo prompt this week.

time

Time

It doesn’t stand still, you know
Time
Keeps on ticking
Time
Makes us older
Time
Sometimes wiser
Time
Each moment, a new fact
Time
Though you can’t go back
Time
New life welcomed
Time
Farewells to departed
Time
Still, it keeps going
Time
Ticking, tocking

Time.

Feel & Space

Christmas excesses
Leave me feeling very full
With no space for more!

****

Empty spaces left
Where Christmas gifts were hidden
Feeling contentment
