Wise words from Mr Chaplin here.
Good things come to an end… they say, but you know what, bad stuff runs on the same cycle too, if it has a beginning, then there will surely be an end to it too!
Stay positive Peeps!

I loved this one when I read it.
We live in too much of a gadget-run life. The reliance on them means we have almost forgotten how to actually converse, and interact with real people!
My parents were at a wedding reception and there were two girls sat on their table, heads down, busy on their phones for ages, giggling intermittently. There was company galore, good music, dancing, food, yet they stayed there. After a while my mum asked what one was doing. She said she was messaging her friend. Mum assumed she was telling a mate about the party, it it turned out that she was sat across from her friend, texting her! They weren’t even talking, though they were sat next to each other!
Really!!??
If there is anything you take from this post, it should be to actually chat to people, meet up with them, and let them know you’re thinking of them… Not just a Facebook like, or a WhatsApp group message… I’m guilty too. But I know I need to reach out, in reality too, not just via Social Media!
Have a lovely day Peeps!

Allergic to O challenge… Kinda like the original E one…
Sophie of Sophie Speaks Up, just tweaked Adil’s original challenge, this time, a paragraph with no O! 😮
Ok, Here goes!
Fairy Fan
Ethereal, fairy-like beauty shining, she stepped in the bar. All heads spun, eyed glued…tell us where you live, pretty thing?
She glanced at me and I melted. Her eyes, like warm caramel, smiled at me…
Her dress sparkled as if it was sprinkled with dew, her feet encased in delicate, silver strappy heels.
She has a new fan.
She sang beautifully…. I was sunk.
Did I do it??!!
And I an going to nominate anyone who feels like trying this one, its not as easy as it seems!

I don’t think I’ve done this tag before!
Thank you to Trista of Domesticated Momster for tagging me to answer 11 random questions of her choice!
Trista’s 11 questions are:
What would you consider is your greatest strength and your worst weakness?
My greatest strength, I think, is to find the positive in any situation, and to work with that to make life smoother.
My greatest weakness is that I think I am too soft… I can be won over far too easily as I am a very emotional person.
What is the one thing on your bucket list that you are destined to accomplish?
I think to actually become a published author!
What’s your favorite dinner to make?
I just love to cook full stop, so there isn’t a favourite dinner per se, but the whole process is a great one!
What’s the best blog post you have read in the last 3 days?
Wow! That’s a real hard one to actually whittle down to! There have been many, but one on the Daily Echo, about Sue’s Son Nick competing in a Triathalon as a paraplegic, is an inspiring read!
What is your favorite blog post of your own blog?
Again, another really tough one! There are so many different elements to my blog, that if I chose one, I’d beat myself up about not mentioning another! Some of my poems are dear to me, and then again some of my family memory posts are just so special!
Favorite Disney movie?
Don’t even need to think about this one! Jungle Book for sure!!
Would you ever want to be president?
Hell no! All that responsibility??!? I can just about make decisions for myself, let alone for millions of people!
What vegetables are in your fridge right now?
I have asparagus, green beans, tenderstem broccoli, and mushrooms!
Have you ever won anything in a contest? If so, what was it?
I won £500 in a raffle once!
Spring or Fall…which season do you like more?
Fall, or Autumn, as we call it here in the UK. There is something so cosy about that time of year!
Would you ever want to be famous?
Yes and no… Yes, because you are more likely to gain wealth, and I could treat my family and friends to what they wanted, but no, as you would have to become public property to some extent, and I couldn’t put my own family through that.
Well, that was fun!
Now, I am going to pass the tag onto all my followers. If you can, answer the same 11 questions and link back to me, so I can get to know you better!!!!!
