Time flies when you are having fun!

Last Week's Friday Caption Competition...




And the winner was...........................
Ali who said...

"Mum, mum, it was her, she stole my ring... look, she gave it to her fella and he's wearing it through his nose,rufffing cheek "



Thank you everybody who commented, I did indeed have a good laugh.


This week's photograph is again taken in our village, infact, I took this photo next to our house!




Do have a go, if you feel inclined!
Just leave your caption in the comments!


I Smile

I smile.
A slight grin crawls across my face,
And a glimmer shines within my eye.
As I look at him, I smile.
Munching, munching. happy and content..
Perfectly consistent with every chew.
I wonder..
What makes him so special?
What about him makes me so happy?

A ray of sun dances across his dusty coat,
Two stepping on the chilly breeze,
Waltzing with the strand of hay entwined in his ebony mane.
Tasseled are his ears, and long whiskers,
But ever so much longer are his gentle inquisitive gazes.
The gazes that see right through you and back.
Way past your soul and straight to the core of your heart.

His sudden pause terminates my dreaming,
But now it's just a momentary halt of chewing,
Couples with a wistful glance to the field.
Wrangle ambling, he continues to graze.
I breath in his soft sent and find myself happy,
Much happier than before I knew those hairy ears and adoring gazes.
I know not why, but still..
I smile.

Yesterday I lost a whole day!
Yes, there I was raring to go and get stuck into the housework,
when the flu-like symptoms kicked in!

Eventually I knew there was only one place for me....
BED!
I don't know about you but I hate being ill.
However I slept most of the day and between bouts feeling raging hot or freezing cold,
after a quiet night in I must say I am feeling better!

So, today I am NOW ready to tackle the housework and continue with the decorating,
well the preparation!

Please stick with me, as I know I haven't visited as many of your blogs as I would have liked to,
also responding to awards which many of you have shared with me,
I will get round to it.



Watch this Space!

Hi Denise Peter here, you left a comment on my blog, as you said through knowing Mike. Thanks for the comment.

I was trying to find a way of contacting you through your blog, so this is the only way I could find.

I would like to put a link to your blog on my blog, if that is ok would you do the same for me.

As my blog explains I am on holiday for the next 2 weeks but will be keeping in touch through internet cafes and the ship's internet suite.

I would like to be involved with the ABC photography, this maybe when I come back. CAn you explain how I get involved please.

Regards

Hi Denise,

Re: your comment on my blog. I am so completely intrigued by what you are going to post for the letter E.

And I must reveal that I have got an even better idea than the one I was originally planning to write!

We'll keep each other in suspense ....

Keep smiling

David

I love that photo of the horse that looks like a camel to me.

I'm glad you are feeling better now.

Do hope you are feeling better. Something going around here too. These summer bugs are the worst.

I hadn't seen the cat and the cow (bull?) photo before. It's a riot! Great perspective, too.
