Jo had awful teeth
The overbite was a fright
Just to talk caused grief
One look, the dentist took flight
X-rays caused such disbelief.

Seasons are changing. The Theme is a funny haiku (or, more technically accurate, a senryu) about seasonal change. Spring, fall, summer, winter, autumn; whatever.
Days are getting short
Gaia’s tempers getting fraught
We just won’t be taught
All rules for this prompt can be found at Chelsea’s post.

Welcome to The Three Things Challenge.
For those of you unfamiliar with the challenge, every day Di at pensitivity101 lists three things that may, or may not, be related.
The challenge is to simply read the prompt and see where your creativity takes you, using one, two or all three words in your post. There are no restrictions regarding length, style, or genre apart from keeping it family friendly.
You can use the 3TC, #threethingschallenge or TTC as a tag and the logo if you wish
Your three things today are:
HOST
FUN
TIME
“Tonight your host is Ca Rona, she is delighted you could all come. She hopes you will have fun. Laughing, dancing, singing, smooching and kissing are the order of the night.
Ca has prepared all the food and drink for you to enjoy , every morsel touched by her personally.
So what’s the saying? Oh! Yes, ‘eat drink and be merry for tomorrow you die’ maybe not tomorrow but soon. Time is running out for you all.
Yes of course you can leave any time , go home to your families, go to work, go shopping, give everyone Ca Rona’s greetings. Tomorrow there’s a beach party your all welcome. Times a ticking …so is CA Rona.
Two sides to every story your actions have consequences.

Frank gave us some great questions last week and now it’s my turn.
As regular readers know, between us we have kept the Fibbing Friday challenge going and thank you all for your support and participation.
Below are 10 questions, the answers to which are entirely up to you.
The idea though is to fib a little, a lot, tell whoppers, be inventive, silly or even outrageous, in your response as you evade the truth.
Write a post with your answers and tag it “Fibbing Friday” or #FibbingFriday, then link back to this post so that others can enjoy your them and maybe join in too!

Well here we are and it is the last day of February. Time to show and tell our efforts for February 2020.
Here is the blank page ( so to speak).
Here we are halfway through the month.
Above is my finished effort and I am rather proud of it. Leaves, curls and squiggles. I used less colours than usual, my thinking is that less is more.

Welcome to The Three Things Challenge.
Di at pensitivity101 gives us three words or things that will hopefully trigger our creativity. Today’s words are MASK
SCOUT Pen.
The masked ranger was a real pre-madonna. Not many people knew that, it was a well kept secret. Luckily his Indian scout Tonto had broad shoulders and tight lips! Most evenings the Masked Ranger liked nothing better than to sit pen in hand and write love poems! Hi ho Silver and away 😜

Where did yesterday go? I was up at the crack of 5am and on the train by 7.46am. I met Eloise, Marje, Marian and Lance at Victoria Station and then it was off to the venue.
Now I did try and take lots of photos but chatting and meeting with people takes precedense But here are some💜.
Above are from the left Marian, Eloise, Shelly, Mary Smith, Sherrie and the lovely Marjorie 💜
Claire Saul, her lovely hubby and April💜
Look at this colourful trio. Martin, Zoé and Rachel💜
Rachel and her husband Adam 💜
Ritu and Hubby, on crutches, Claire and her hubby 💜
One of the Judges Gareth Stevens and his lovely wife Jayne, and Esther💜
The panel Esther, Shelley and Laura one of our two fabulous guest speakers 💜
Laura giving her speech, absolutely brilliant and so funny she had me in stitches.💜
Jemma Todd was also incredibly interesting and I for one was totally enthralled.💜
Our Wonderful M.C. Graeme . 💜
Ritu receiving her prize from Geoff.💜
The lovely Sacha💜
Some of the committee.Sacha, Adam and Geoff.
Ritu, Sacha, Geoff, the huggable Hugh and Suzie.💜
I totally failed to get a good picture of Isa , she is sitting at the table in blue top. I was delighted to see her again. It was great to catch up, I wanted a selfie with her but I failed😣 her partner from their blog Jo could not make it. Jo I missed you 💜💜
I really tried to meet everyone but I did not get to speak to these two. I am sorry. If you let me know who you are I will link you in. I am sorry I didn’t get to chat .💜 Just been informed by Lance the young lady is Claire. Just looking for the chap now.
Oh! I have remembered the lovely Simon sorry for the late entry Simon .
I also didn’t get to speak to Ananda Leeks If I missed anyone I am so sorry. Let me know and I will add you 💜
Ritu, me and Marje my Blogging sisters 💜💜💜
I didn’t get any photos of Samantha Smith Here is her winning blog post : If You Only Had Five Minutes, What Would TV You Save?
Excellent story I really enjoyed it 💜💜.
I also didn’t get a photo of of Susanne Tench and her brother. Nor did I get a photo of Jemima Pett
There were others there but I didn’t get photos so if I have left anyone one out please, please forgive me!
I can’t tell you how much it means to me to meet up with my bloggy family. I really love to meet up with old friends and make lots of new friends too. Everyone is happy to chat and so genuine.
If you have never been to a Bash I can really recommend that if you can you do because there is always so much to learn and so many opportunities to network.
We started off with a welcome speech, from Suzie then two awards , followed by the competition presented by Gareth Stevens, and the winner Samantha Smith was at the Bash.
Next Laura had us in stitches. Followed by a few more awards.
Then Jemma told us her story from book devouring teen to published author… absolutely fabulous.
Then lunch, time to relax and chat and mingle, always one of the best parts of the day.
Then it was back in and time for the panel, great questions and great questions.
After the Question and Answers it was Suzie’s Flat Lay presentation
Followed by Geoff doing the final awards, then Sacha closed up .
Time to chat more 💜💜.
So again it was over, months of excitedly looking forward to the ABBA’s planning travel and then poof it’s over and Marian, Eloise and I are quick marching after Lance back to Victoria. We had to step it out because Eloise’s train was due! We said goodbye, Lance made sure Eloise got her train. I saw Marian through to her train, after we had tried to get through a barrier that wasn’t working!
That left me so I found the underground down the escalator Victoria line to Oxford Circus
Oxford Circus, down the escalator again . Then on to the Bakerloo line then up into the daylight at Paddington.
I had to run for my train, not a very ladylike thing to do, not a good idea either with a bad foot!
So where did the day go. But it was great 💜💜 Thank you Committee you produced another winner. To everyone at the bash it was it was wonderful to meet up.
I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE.
