Five Photos Five Stories Challenge – Day 4 Colour

I received a challenge from the lovely Edwina, of Edwina’s Episodes for the Five Photos, Five Stories challenge

I’m about to invite you to join in a challenge I recently accepted. Five Photos, Five Stories. I thought this challenge could present you with the opportunity of viewing blogging from a different angle, to do something different, anything that suits you for that matter. It’s entirely up to you. …

There are some rules that go with it which are as follows:

The Five Photos, Five Stories Challenge rules require you to post a photo each day for five consecutive days and attach a story to the photo.  It can be fiction or non-fiction, a poem or simply a short paragraph – it’s entirely up to you.

And at the end of each day, nominate one other blogger to take part.

 

Colour…

 

It was a most wonderful day, the Olympic flame was passing through our town, and stopping at our Gurdwara, our temple. The town’s population lined the streets to see this once in a lifetime event happening first hand, and at the temple it was no different. All the Sikh population able to come, was there, dressed up, in all their finery, and bright colours, and the local Bhangra team was no different, decked out in their traditional garb, looking like beautiful exotic birds… It’s a shame the Mayoress hadn’t made more of an effort eh! 

And today I nominate Jen from Dorkchops.

Please don’t feel obliged to take part but it would be fun if you do!

Awarded 27/3/15

And these are the rules:

1) Put the award logo on your blog.

2) Answer 7 questions asked by the person who nominated you.

3) Thank the people who nominated you, linking to their blogs.

4) Nominate any number of bloggers you like, linking to their blogs.

5) Let them know you nominated them (by commenting on their blog etc.)

So, I have displayed the logo… and again, a huge thanks to Mboki!!!!!!!

My questions

  • Tell us one thing that the world doesn’t know about part of the world you are coming from.

Hmmm…. ooh! I don’t know! Well, ok, my area was one of the first places in England to have a Sikh temple established, as when the initial migration happened, of Sikhs from the Punjab, to England, they came by boat and would dock here! Now we have one of the biggest temples in Europe!

  • If you have to choose three days sleep or three days without sleep what will be your choice?

Three days without sleep, I could keep awake, but I couldn’t make my self sleep!

  • If you chose to sleep tell us why, if not then what will you be doing in those three days?

Oh as a working mum there is so much to do, I would be cleaning, cooking, spending time with the family, reading, watching things I miss usually, and probably blogging or browsing my reader a lot!

  • Who is the most important person to you right now and why?

Not one person, there is one entity which is the most important to me, my family. Without them, I am nothing, and I couldn’t choose between my spouse or my children!!

  • Does your blog represents who you are in real life?

Absolutely it does! I write what I think all the time, and so I guess that is a 100% true representation of me! – Though sometimes I might hold back, knowing there are a lot of people I know that are reading too….

  • What was the most challenging thing when you started to blog?

I think it was working out what I wanted this blog to be about, then I realised I am Jill of all trades, master of none, so I wanted to be able to write allsorts, and that’s exactly what I did!

  • Quality or quantity?

Very dependant on what you are thinking of…. but essentially a little bit of good quality is better than a whole ream of rubbish, I guess!  Damn! I’d better stop posting so much!!!

And so to nominate…..
The Indecisive Eejit Funny funny blog!
Mihran Kalaydijan Beautiful music…
Real Mom Of Long Island Another mom blog that is fantastically funny!
Baffled Baboon Randomly funny blogger!
Angels Whisper 2-11 Gorgeous Kitty Shots!

And my 7 questions… (This is almost harder than choosing the nominations!)

  1. If you could change anything about yourself, what would you change?
  2. Where did your blog name come from?
  3. What is the meaning of your name?
  4. Tell me your dream date!
  5. What is your favourite type of music?
  6. Which single person has inspired you the most in life?
  7. Sweet or savoury?

And there we have it!  Please don’t feel obligated to accept the award, it’s just a small way of showing my appreciation to a few blogs I enjoy! If you have already received it, either be like me and have it again (after all, you don’t see them super stars giving back Grammies, or Oscars, saying “Oh no thank you, I got one last year!”) or just feel appreciated!

But I Smile Anyway...

Clumsy Part 2… Ouch!

Following on from my earlier post, here, I must report back that. This chair, yes THIS chair, was the reason behind my latest bruise!!!

The Culprit!

I was, unfortunately, having to take one of our little lovelies down a peg, as he was playing up for the supply teacher we had in, and as I was talking to him, whole class also watching me, I went to sit down, as I was marking, and landed on the top of the back of the chair, instead of the seat… 

Now males of the Blogulation, we all know how much it hurts to get hit in the ‘you know wheres’, well. Can I say, as a female, I think I found a woman’s equivalent ‘you know where’!!!!!!

Bruised somewhere I have most definitely never been before, and unless you are a ‘Fifty Shad-er’ or more hardcore, I would not expect to ever BE bruised there!!! 

Sitting down is rather painful today….
