Being in Finland at the moment, I really wanted to take a photo of something here. I saw some amazing vintage cricket balls in an antique shop we passed, but my camera and phone battery had died at the time, so no photo taken there!

This whole trip has been about ‘vintage’, as we celebrate my Pops reaching that grand old age of 70, and him still being a sprightly soul!

But I found this one, and it made me think of ‘vintage’ high heels! I used a mild sepia filter on the photo to give it a slightly aged look! It was a great flower display holder made of twine and wire!

No matter how big,
Or even how small
Women love shoes
Oh, we love em all!
Old ones or new ones
Tall ones or short
We’ve all lost count
Of the amount we’ve bought
Skyscraper high
Or ballet pump low ones
Or beautiful vintage
You never could wear ones
It’s just an addiction
That we cannot help
Even if sometimes
They make us yelp!

It may be slightly off kilter today, but that’s what you get from a tired brain, who has spent an hour tending to a vomiting daughter! Never easy when you aren’t home, but the hotel staff have been wonderful!

 

 

 

FFF #35 – Knights Of Cydonia

Tuesday means Matt has been busy finding a prompt for us…

Neon Music Sign

This week, a song I have never heard before, and not really many lyrics…

Knights of Cydonia by Muse

I don’t know why, but I ended up channelling the Toy Story Characters today!

Cydonia Mission

“Ok team, are we ready?” Captain Buzz addressed his passengers. “We reach the area of Cydonia in approximately 20 minutes. On landing, we need to be constantly aware of our surroundings. After all, we have no idea whether there is life here or not…but the Face of Mars is a sight to behold!”

Woody’s grip tightened on Bo’s hand. He was nervous beyond belief but had promised his best buddy Buzz that he would support him on this virgin mission to see whether that face was actually an illusion, or the tribute to Jessie that he thought he had built…

RonovanWrites #Weekly #Haiku #Poetry Prompt #Challenge #99 Flag&Fallen

Time for Ron’s weekly haiku challenge…

Yes, I am in extremely sunny Finland (really!!) at the moment, but I have to try and keep up to date with as many challenges as I can! At the moment, I am back at the hotel, the kids are trying to go to sleep, Hubby Dearest has gone out for a swift half (or 5) with my brother, so I have time!

Obviously, an apt prompt as it is Memorial Day in the USA…

Flag & Fallen

color-21642_1280

Gone, But Not Forgotten

Today raise a flag
In honour of those soldiers
True fallen heroes
Protected flag and country
They’re gone but not forgotten

TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge – Potpourri

This week TJ has used my prompt idea of Potpourri.


Image from Pixabay… Sorry I’m not home to take my own at the moment!

Two little entries from me this week!

Who would have thought that
Dried old peels and dead flowers
Could make rooms smell good…?

Pretty potpourri
Hides a multitude of smells
With fragrant odors

#SoCS May 28/16 – Press

Linda’s SoCS Prompt this week…

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “Press.” Find a word that starts with press-, ends with -press, or use “press” as a word all by itself. Have fun!

I have a pressing need to write this post as soon as I can. After all, I shall be rather busy on Saturday. No time to be pressing keys on my Surface, or tapping my iPad screen.
It is going to be hard to express myself clearly today, as I am still keeping a BIG secret, and aside from a chosen few, no one knows.  I am able to keep secrets pretty well you know!
When Lil Princess was growing in my womb, pressing upon my bladder, we had the scan done, to see what sex our baby was. Knowing a little girl was coming to make our family complete was a dream come true, but we decided not to tell anyone…. That was HARD!
I love to talk, and am generally pretty open about everything, so when people were asking if we knew, my lips were pressed tightly shut. I wasn’t going to be the one to blab, not me! I was going to prove to my Hubby Dearest that I could keep secrets!
When she arrived, it was the most wonderful gift for everyone, and when I was finally able to confess that we knew, my mum called me a ‘little rascal’! A mother of 2 being called a little rascal at her maternity bedside! And by her mother! They were all actually impressed that I did manage to keep a secret for so long! And honestly, apart from Hubby Dearest, no one else but me knew! And the sonographer obviously!
Coming back to today, I am not actually being pressed to keep a secret from everybody, but I have to be careful not to let one person know something, hence the secrecy on here… because if I was to write something and they decided that it would be a good idea to read my blog that day, I’ll be buggered!
(Don’t worry, I have a scheduled post tomorrow which will reveal all! It may mot be a big deal for some, but it’s HUGE for me! Can’t wait to see the expression on someone’s face!!!)

There! That was some Stream of Consciousness there! and I managed to get Press into every paragraph somehow or another!!!!
