My first offering is Simon’s Cat. The title of the piece is ‘Let me in’ It is in keeping with it being Stray Animals Weekend too!
Anyone who likes cats will recognize this .
And my second offering is Billy Connolly, he is talking sense about the terrorist attack in Glassgow . I apologize for his swearing but if you listen the man is speaking a lot of truth. Please laugh we all take ourselves too seriously!
And Finally Black Adder Goes Forth a very poigniant series.
I hope that I have made at least one person smile.
Female, wife, full time mother and Grandmother. I am not as happy go lucky as I used to be but I am still bubbling along on simmer! I have three handsome sons all grown and flown.The youngest married with a beautiful wife and two sons of his own. Back in 2010 I was working, running a home, driving and socializing then bang in a split second all that was gone. I had an accident at home. I broke my back, not for the first time, I had broken it 10 years previously as well. Unfortunately this time I had broken it really badly and it was truly messed up so I had to have two operations. I was told before each operation that the outcome could mean I spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Still as some guy once wrote "I am still standing " yes "better than I ever was " I no longer use the walking stick . I had lots of friends before the accident but when things like this happen, you loose most of them. Their lives move on and mine stood still and so they left me behind ...I know that is just the way life is but it hurt and always will. Then I looked around and saw those who were still there for me, these friends are the roses in my garden they need to be tended well. They are the diamonds in the dust. I will of been married 53yrs this comming year. I have found different ways to approach life, use my pain befriend it almost...yer right , well that is what they tell me at the pain clinic ROFLMAO ...... if only I could! I have found an outlet for my fears, frustrations and night terrors . I have started writing poetry if that name can be applied to my writing. I hope I do not come over as a moaning winger. I hope I am past all that. I also hope that you might see how the poetry is moving from very dark through the grey and hopefully in to light.
My back is no longer straight it is C shaped because of the injury and I have lost two and a half inches in height but my Pilates and Core teachers have helped me to stand up as straight and be as strong as possible. Pain and depression are still hanging on my arm but I have weapons to use against them and if I say so myself I cope well.
I have made lots of new friends, real diamonds. I am also very grateful for all the support and help I have encountered here on Wordpress. Hugs and welcome to everyone who visits.

I was laughing so hard at the Billy Connolly I freaked my husband out. Forgot I was wearing earphones and he was in the study catching up on his readings for his masters and here I was cackling like something out of the Wizard of Oz with tears streaming down my face. I look up and he’s standing in the doorway ‘hesitating’ to come any closer in case I explode or something. Both the cat and Blackadder were brilliant BUT Billy Connolly – my insides hurt from laughing.
Yes he is a brilliant reader of people . Every subject he tackles he does so with affection and very astutely. I must find ‘The pub singer ‘ an old favourite of mine . Have you ever seen Peter Kay on action another people reader.
Ummm I swiped your clip with the credit given to you and a link back to your post to see the other two but out of all the submissions for the weekend challenge that was by far the funniest in my opinion.
I’m trying to figure out how to create a little trophy badge that gets given to the person not just with the most Likes but also the comments plus the ability to make me cry laughing.
I’ll do what I did with this one – put it up as a post telling everyone to visit your blog and with a link for them to follow. However still having trouble creating the little badge [just won’t do what it’s supposed to humpf!]
Thanks for the link back I am so glad you enjoyed it . I am just sorting out one more Billy clip and one of Peter Kay. 😉 xxx
Excellent – I’ve been busy finishing up the last of the Land Down Under Part One post. Its just gone up so now I can get back and look at more of the submissions coming in for the weekend. Truly, truly love Billy Connolly – I had one last weekend up with him on a plane to Australia. Can’t wait to see what you post. Jenni 😀
Here are a Peter Kay show and another Billy Connolly I will post them for your weekend fun too but this is a taster so you need not wait!!
enjoy!!
I’m spoilt – I like being spoilt [ big grin ] Thanks 🙂

Hi I am so pleased that you enjoyed them… I was worried about the Billy Connolly one but but he does tell it as it is!
