Todays Daily Prompt: Tell us about something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail (and tell us why you haven’t tried it yet).

I think I may have told you this before, but I’d love to have some sort of camper and travel either the SA coast or the Karoo.  The plan would be to have no particular itinerary.  I should travel and stop off where ever I want to go…pitch a tent, make a fire etc..under twinkling stars.

Why have I never done this you ask?  Well, first there is the time issue, you know, never having enough of it.  Then there is the fact that I have absolutely no sense of direction but I suppose I could get a GPS.  Also, I have no idea on how to camp, pitch a tent or even change wheel! We wont even talk about making a fire *blush*

I went camping once many years ago with a group of divers *BIG MISTAKE* it was horrible, and the company was not what I expected it to be…and there you have it, the total extent of my camping experience or should I rather say “one camping experience” :)

*hugs*

Writing about it…

Todays Daily Prompt: Memories For Sale

Actually, I was going to post about just this.  Yesterday I was doing a bit of a clean up and throwing things away.  I was cleaning out one of my drawers and came across a book, not a diary just a book in which I had written things.  I remembered that it was my shrink at the time who told me to write, write, write…best advice anyone has given me.  I had been referred to him after I had my little girl because over and above the depression I’m always on about, I had to also have PND.  So yes, I was in a terrible state of mind.

Flipping through the pages and reading a bit here and there, I was shocked that it was me; I was that person who had written all those things.  Quite frankly, I don’t quite know how I survived.  Sitting back now, I realise that I have come a long way.  I had an inner strength, that I got from I don’t know where, but somehow I managed to pull myself through those dark days.

As you know, I still have those dark days now, today being one of them…but I am grateful that I can write and that there are kind souls out there who always have something nice to say to me.  I love that about you.

*hugs*

Thank you so much to Melanie.  I really like how these awards work:

(I copied and pasted the following from Melanie’s blog)

“However, for a variety of reasons there are those who choose not to accept or pass on awards.  For those who like the idea of having an award or two on their site, but aren’t up to the work involved or feel like they’ll somehow betray those they follow by narrowing a list down to just 10 – here’s two awards you are welcome to put on your site if I’ve followed you, Liked one of your posts or left a comment that included the link to this page.

You are also free to bestow these no-strings attached Awards to others as you see fit – these images are free to use as long as you and others don’t pretend they are your own.  If you wish to link back here,Fantabulous – but not required.”

So there you have it…

My favourite fictional character

Todays Daily Prompt: Interview your favorite fictional character.

Hello Miss Marple, it was so good of you to agree to do an interview with me.

“It is a pleasure, my dear”

Ok, well, is it ok if I start asking questions now or would you like a cup of tea?

“Dont be silly, go right ahead”

Are you happy with the name of “Jane” which your creator Agatha Christie gave you?

“I find the name most enchanting” She gives me a smile.

Do you still reside in St Mary Mead?

“Of course I do, I’ve lived here through twelve stories!”

Do you have any tips for a fellow people watcher?

“Ah, I see,” she says, looking at me intently. “The only tip I have for you is to never ever let on what you know by observing individuals”

One last question Miss Marple; who is you favourite reader…

“Oh, there is no question about that…you are my dear – I find you to be a most charming lady!”

*Blush*  Thank you Miss Marple.

*hugs*

Friends with benefits…

Todays Daily Prompt:  Over the weekend, we explored different ways to love. Today, tell us about the most unconventional love in your life.

Photographers, share a photo that says unconventional.

♥ ♥ ♥

Gosh! Now there’s a question and a half.  Love is love, can it be unconventional or am I missing a point?

In today’s world we have people who have friends with benefits; now a few years ago that idea to me would have been unconventional.   I’m not saying that I approve of the idea nor do I disapprove.  I’m just saying that it is/was slightly unconventional.  In reply to the question, the only time love could be unconventional is when one is perhaps in love with an alien…

love is love, end of story…regardless of age, race, sex…

*hugs*
