Aephabet Thursday ......W

Well another week has passed and I have arrived back at Thursday.
How did that happen so quickly?

W is a wonderful letter so many willing words waiting to whisk they way onto this white space.
Which words will I while away my time using to tell you whats been happening in my life?
Wedding comes to my mind first not a White wedding a black and white themed wedding.
From waist bands on dresses to ties on men there will be bits of black amongst the white cream and  the rainbow of colours that guests will wear.

Weetabix comes next, this wonderful wheat filled food is no longer part of my diet as I have become intolerant to it , the same goes for wholemeal bread and walnut cake whisked with love to settle on my waist.
So I guess it is not all bad afterall.

As I sit here listening to a wonderful christian radio station ( UCB Uk )  I am waiting for the arrival of my daughter in law and Grandson.

Weather next mm don't talk to me abou that we are in the middle of a "drought" has not stopped raining since this was anounced.

Ok well guess that  is  me done for today please visit Jenny to see what else is on offer

V is for Very unfortunate.......... Eden House

V is for Very unfortunate

I thought I would kick of my return to blogging with my favourite blog. Alphabet Thursday.

It is a very unique blog that in essence is created by us the readers.

As the title suggests its all about the alphabet and our interpretation of each letter During my absence from the PC I have missed H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S ,t & U

I am sorry Teacher but I do not have a letter for my absence but honest I was not skiving.



I have spent the last 11 weeks (all except 8 nights) in hospital. I went in on January 17th for back surgery on 18th, I was due out on 24th but due to a series of unfortunate events my stay was prolonged and I finally got released on April 4th. Sorry I missed class on 5th but I was not up to it honest.



I missed lots of things round here though most of all I missed my gorgeous grandson Harry who is now 15 weeks old smiling cooing and doing all the normal stuff especially being cute..



The very unfortunate milestone I missed out on was Hannah’s 21st birthday celebrations although the family were fantastic and included me in as much as possible. I asked a friend to bake me a cake and she got a 21st balloon that was ready and waiting when Hannah arrived at a specially arranged visiting time of 10am.



The surgery very unfortunately left me with umpteen headaches and a very useless right leg , actually that is not entirely true I can walk but I look like a disabled penguin .

This will hopefully start to be sorted on Friday when I start working with the Physioterarist .



Anyway that is all I have to offer for V I am off to see Jenny in class and read other peoples offerings , please feel free to pop into class.



Ok I have a confession I actually wroye this for U last week but missed the dead line so I am very late and have edited very much.

Hanging off a cliff part 2

Last week we tried using the cliffhanger literary device...




...and hopefully you literally left us hanging.



There is no official prompt this week. Just a continuation of last weeks story.



...and because I want to challenge you AGAIN...



What about if we do the conclusion in fifty words.



Yes.



Five zero.



Part 1


I was running as fast as I could the distance between us was getting further and further , I wanted to scream but nothing came out of my mouth . Why was this happening to me ?


Suddenly I saw the cliff in the distance what was I to do I had visions of hanging off a cliff with the coastguard coming to my rescue how would I explain myself to them?


I looked down at myself and saw that I was wearing a zebra costume and tutu indeed how would I explain myself suddenly I stopped I could hear that voice again.



 Part 2
The one I first heard all those weeks ago on January 1st “ you will fail , you always do , you are useless “




I am going to prove them wrong , suddenly I wake up and realise It was a dream I had been running away from my birthday cake , time to get up and start again .


This is partialy true although I do not dream about it. Dieting is easy for slim people. It is easy for people with a strong will and it is  easy if it becomes a way of life. I do not want to be on a permanent diet I want to set my life eating ways as totally healthy.
Ok I am off to see how others have completed their cliff hanger, please pop over here

 Hanging off a cliff!

I was running as fast as I could the distance between us was getting greater and greater, I wanted to scream but nothing came out of my mouth . Why was this happening to me ?

Suddenly I saw the cliff in the distance what was I to do I had visions of hanging off a cliff with the coastguard coming to my rescue how would I explain myself to them?

I looked down at myself and saw that I was wearing a zebra costume and tutu indeed how would I explain myself suddenly I stopped I could hear that voice again.

                                                                                             To Be Continued..........



Please come back next week for the final part of this cliff hanger if I survive that is .

Also please pop over to Jenny and see what other people have thought of.

Grandson, Grandparent Godmother..

Grandson, Grandparent Godmother..

Ok Christmas is over and the new year has started . For me this is an exciting time firstly I have a wonderful Grandson Harry John born on 26th December. 

Harry's Bunting

Secondly I am having a birthday  and I am a grandparent ( does it get any more exciting?)

And finally I have a wonderful Godmother who this morning I received a gift from ( Oops it was a birthday present) I opened it as it looked like an ordinary package , I have been very good and put other cards on mantle until the day.

Ok in reverse order I received from Sylvia the most beautiful string ( 3 actually ) of pearls they fit perfectly . I have always wanted a set of pearls and these I will treasure and wear with pride .

Being a grandparent is such an honour its not like being a Mummie ( I Know spelt differently but this was how my Nana spelt it so I want to carry on the tradition) where you HAVE to be involved it is a role where you are invited into the lives of a family that is just starting out on the roller coaster of life called family.

I am looking forward to being there for the good times and the not so good ones .

I could have covered God, Grace and generally anything but these three sum life up for me at the moment the above ones go without saying .

That's it from me short and sweet but to the point .

Please see what other Alphabet Thursday contributors have added
