Another beautiful photo prompt from Sue…
A blanket of cloud
Covers the mossy ground
Hiding what’s below
An illusion created

I know I have been bugging you for the last few weeks, and during the last few days, much more than normal!
But today at 12 PM, UK time, the voting for the Annual Bloggers Bash Awards closes.
If you haven’t had a chance, I urge you to click here and vote for the ten award categories. It’s quick and painless, unless you like most of the blogs, (like me!) in which case you may have needed days to deliberate!
And when you get to the last award… If you want… You might want to consider me… A proverbial blogging baby in comparison to some of the amazing blogs I’m up against!
HERE, ok?! 😉

Eeeek! 3 sleeps to go until you know what!
I am driving people potty with my talking about it all the time!
I thought, since I am meeting all of you for the first time, I’d do a very Indian thing which is to bring something sweet, and what better than something sweet and bubbly, like me! ;P (And of course I promised Hugh!)
It had to be Malteasers! They have already featured on my blog as they are my favourite chocolate subject, and I even did a huge comparison and debate post comparing our Malteasers to the Stateside version, Whoppers! (Ours won, of course!)
So…
Let’s hope I don’t get peckish in advance, or on the train, and that the temperature isn’t too hot, melted Malteasers aren’t the best!
Just did a bulk buy shop in Asda. The woman at the till just stared, and I said, “Don’t ask….!”
Soooo excited!
Oh, and while I’m on the subject of the Blogger’s Bash, there are now less than 24 hours until the votes close, so if you haven’t…
… vote now! Just click here to vote!
And I know I am asking for your support on this award, but there are many other awards, and such deserving blogs, so cast your votes for all of them! The votes close at 10pm UK time on Thursday 9th June, that is TOMORROW!
”Can’t you just let me poop?!”

It’s funny what you end up with, in life. A lot of your characteristics and personality are down to genes, (not jeans, which my Lil Man says he didn’t get from India, he bought from Asda! 😂)
I look at myself and see the physical characteristics that were handed down to me from my parents.
My curly hair from Pops, which I lamented as a youngster, but which I love and wouldn’t change now.
My dark body hair… Also from my dad… Wish I’d got mums, she has hardly any!
But apparently I look a lot like her, and it is increasing with age.
People comment on my personality and say I’m like Pops with my dancing, and like my mum with my temperament.
I see the similarities between my Hubby Dearest and his parents too.
Then it makes me think what we have passed down to our own kids,
Lil Man looks a lot like his dad, but has my eyes. He is sporty like his dad, but loves to read like me. He is an early riser, and eats most foods, like me (though as a kid, I was a nightmare to feed!)
Lil Princess has my curly hair, some day she looks a lot like me as a young girl, but also my mother in law! She is a nightmare to feed (like me as a youngster, and her daddy now!) and like her daddy she is not a morning person..she needs 10 minutes to “stretch” and, when performing her morning ablutions she can’t be rushed, just like her dad!
This morning we were running late ( in fact she is making me so late I am able to write this post!) and I asked her to hurry up… The reply I got was the title of this post, “Can’t you just let me poop?!”
I gave up hurrying her along and quietly came downstairs to my cup of tea and ipad!
Have you ever…?

Have you ever…?
Image from Google
Have you ever had a conversation about a situation or a person, and with utter conviction, spoken about something or someone you know who dealt with things in a fantastic manner, or possibly got stuff totally wrong… Then as you get deeper and deeper into that conversation, realize that you actually don’t know that person, or you aren’t familiar with that situation, because it didn’t happen?
Because you were thinking about a book scenario that you read, or a character that you bonded with in a book!!
I was having that conversation (with myself – don’t ask!) this morning, thinking about a certain situation, and how I’d want the conversation to go… But all the comparisons I came up with were fictional!
Go figure!
I guess that must be a sign of a good book though, when things are so real, and characters so lifelike, that you feel you have lived it all!
