Ronovan’s Weekly Haiku Challenge #70 – Crane & Gold

 

wpid-haiku-challenge-image.pngOh yes, you know it’s Monday when the haiku start flowing! Ronovan’s weekly challenge had hit, and boy is it another doozie this week! Ronovan, with these words, you are really testing us!! Check out the challenge here.

The prompt words this week are Crane & Gold. The lovely Ron encouraged use of the thesaurus to really get into these words this time, and I have to admit I was flummoxed to start with, but I came up with two….

Mane

Enhanced by the fiery

Orb that is the sun

Happy New Year

Hugh’s Photo Challenge: Week 5 – Pair

Another Saturday, another photographic challenge by the lovely Hugh of Hugh’s News and Views! He has started an Instagram based photo challenge, whereby you are given a prompt and you post a photo illustrating that prompt, however you see fit.

The prompt today: Pair

Check out the challenge here.

And so to my photo…

wpid-20151010_213056.jpgImagine my happiness at seeing that prompt, when I had the perfect photo on my phone!

The other week, I cracked an egg to make eggy bread, as you do, and there they were, that pair of yolks! I always love finding the double-yolked eggs, it just makes that dish a little more… special… do you know what I mean? And I just had to take a photo!!

And it was a total coincidence that you have used eggs as well Hugh!!!

Sunny yellow yolks

What a magnificent pair!

They’ll look good on toast!

 

One Liner Poetry Challenge – Autumn Waffles

Ooh! You know how much I love a challenge, and Syl has passed the poetic baton on to me today! I feel honoured, as he is amazing with words! 

Now this challenge created by my big blog brother Rich is all about adding a line to a poem collaboratively written by us bloggers, great idea right!
Now to the rules for this challenge:
1. Thank the blogger who nominated you and link back.

2.Link back to me Waffles.

3. Write one line in the poem. If 4 lines have been reached before you then start a new stanza

4. If you are the 17th line no need to nominate just send it back to me Waffles with a title for the next one.
Autumn
Autumnal hues herald dawn’s amber glow.
Nature paints in colorful flow.
Everything’s pumpkin from pop tarts to chips.
There’s even a seasonal orange pumpkin dip.
~
Now a crestfallen suns rich corpse spawns a great feast.
The aroma from scented candles tantalize the palette.
Eerie glows emanate from window sills.
And I nominate Jane Dougherty to continue this beautiful collection of words 🎃😊

A Photographic Breakfast

So, I love to take photos…
By no means am I a professional
And Hugh has set a challenge
That could be like a confessional
This week, present your breakfast
And post for all to see
Whether you sup hair of the dog
Or a lovely cup of tea
Full English, continental,
Cereal or toast
Or perhaps last night’s pizza
Is what you love the most!
He’ll be busy checking our photos
Of toast dripping with jam
And if he thinks it’s worthy
You might get featured on Instagram!
Ritu 2015

So here’s my today’s brekkie!
A cup of tea, with fresh strawberries and mango, granola with yoghurt and a mango puree!

But I Smile Anyway...

3 Quotes 3 Days – Day 3

Well, it’s been a little while… I think all my wonderful Peeps have realised that Ritu has been spreading herself very thin… but today I got challenged, not once, but twice, for the 3 Quote 3 Day challenge, and none other than some of my Blogily, my siblings, an elder brother, Rich and my big sis, Judy. Typical annoying, but extremely lovely siblings, and what could I do? I had to take this challenge! So I shall do it once, but for them both…

Rules for Three-Day Quote Challenge

Thank the blogger, who nominated you.
Publish 3 quotes on 3 consecutive days in your blog. It can be your own, or from a book, movie or from anyone who inspires you.
Nominate 3 more bloggers to carry on this endeavour.

With my time constraints, I have decided that I will do the quotes, but I shall open this challenge to you all, my Peeps!, no particular nominations!

And so to the Challenge…
All about teaching this time…

teNever have I felt as exhausted, as I am feeling right now.

I am mentally, and physically so tired, but I keep going. Why? Because of my love, and commitment to my job, my vocation in life.

This quote really encapsulates how I think many many teachers feel.

Teaching is an all consuming job, and if you have that passion, you do give it your all.  Up early, at school way before the doors are open to your pupils, rushed lunch breaks, and late evenings, all to make your class’s learning something amazing, something they really will remember, and take away with them.

So If I am not as responsive as usual on here, it’s nothing to do with laziness, its pure exhaustion, as my job has taken over my life! (In a good way though!)

And so my challenge ends. As always, please take part if you wish!

Have a wonderful Thursday my lovely Peeps!!!!
