If we were having Coffee: I would remind you that there are lots of other coffee mornings all shared and organized By Diana and Gene’O over at,Part time monster
Come on in it is nice to sit and have a chat after all the hustle and bustle of the past few days. I can still entertain you all with tea and coffee from all over the world not to mention all our cakes and muffins and as Paul calls them sweets! Every single one is calorie free! Plus of course we now have spirits and liquors to warm the coldest of you.
So, If we were having coffee : I am not sure where to start I would say I wish I was in my pajamas ….. but I am not like most things lately I don’t get what I want. I get what is good for me instead, or even worse what others think is good for me! Every man/woman and his dog thinks they know better than me. From wrapping me in cotton wool to nagging me to death!
If we were having coffee: I would tell you that on Monday Hubby and I went off to a little town about thirty miles away from where we live just to get out and have a break from the stresses of Mother in law being ill. We also took hubby’s car along to have it serviced at a specialist garage there.
We walked along the canal and looked at the beautiful cottages and Narrow Boats! We found the Parish Church called St Lawrence, and spent a lovely hour looking around inside and finding out how old and steeped in history it was! We even met a lady who was also “Just visiting” and she told us she lived in Devon now but had originally lived just three miles up the road from where we live now! Well what are the chances of that!
Some photos of our day.

After more walking we found a lovely coffee shop and had a cuppa and slice of cake! We both had a wonderful time and we popped in to see Mother in law on our way home, she is still doing well!! Though very concerned about her Lymphoma!
If we were having coffee : Tuesday I was at the gym but I had decided not to go early so I missed my gym buddy! Then after that we went over to see Mother in law ( hereafter to be known as MIL ) . Wednesday L, my gym buddy and great friend , and I went to our Pilates class which was hard work as ever then we had coffee and a long catch up! Then again over to check out MIL.
Thursday I had to go and see a specialist , I have been having a lot of stomach troubles and I am now being sick a lot. I have had all types of exams and finally I had an ultrasound scan which showed that I have a lot of debris in my gallbladder ………. I was hoping that they might remove my gallbladder well after three minutes of prodding I was told that the gallbladder was not bad enough to remove……… What? do Drs have Xray enabled fingers …how did he know from poking and prodding me?? Apparently all the pain and sickness and discomfort is referred pain from my back! ( spine now curved after breaking back )…….. Yes okay so I suppose I just have to get used to that all too now! Hey Ho! In the evening we had MIL over to us for dinner .
If we were having coffee : I would tell you that on Friday nothing much happened , apart from washing , ironing and cooking. Saturday core class and then over to see MIL with middle son!
Today, Sunday we Have MIL over for dinner again. As you can see it has been a MIL week.
If we were having coffee : I would have to apologize and ask where my manners are can I get you more coffee, tea, something to eat or an alcoholic drink?
Well Having finish JuJoJan organised by Linda G Hill at Life in Progress February has brought us Love Is In Da Bog organised by Just fooling around with Bee Imaagine a whole week done already!
I must dash now loads to do. Sorry if I am not commenting as much but my like does mean a lot I promise. I shall be back to normal as and when.
If we were having Coffee: I would have to say we are all sill waiting patiently for our dear Paul Curran to rejoin us here at the coffee share but until he is well enough and up and running again we shall have to bide our time!
Mae could not believe her ears such words from this female beast!
“Why do I need to defend myself to you”
Mae asked her temper, for the first time rising.
“I am not in the wrong here, no, that is you!”
Her hand around her sword hilt tightening, she look amazing , even frightening.
The Witch stood and seemed to grow filling all the room
Standing her ground Mae faced her arch enemy.
Sweat ran down Mae’s back she feared that she might swoon
A shaft of silver moonlight shone through the window so Mae could see.
Why have you turned this beautiful kingdom into a dark night
You killed my father and you have banished my sister , why
What have we ever done to you , why use us to vent your spite.
You have my half brother here, I know he is here I heard him cry.

The battle raged for days then came the ending of the seventh day
All was but lost, such awful wounds suffered on both sides
There was nothing left to do the Winter Witch took to her knees to pray
Mae Bade, Ewen farewell and left the battle field and headed to where the Witch of the East hides.
Ewen and his men also fell to their knees and prayed to which ever God or Gods they followed
They watched as the dragons and the demons divided as Mae past
Mae walked up to her old home, so sullied. She disappeared into the gates as if she had been swallowed.
Both sides halted fighting as at one command.
Ewen when to help the Winter Queen rise but she remained fast.
Into the dark, cold corridors went Mae , where once was joy and laughter
All warmth and colour gone no sign of her former happy life.
Nothing left of her family , not one sign, just snow and icicles hanging from all the rafters.
No sign of her sister or her father gone, destroyed was every sign of her former life.
With heavy heart and fear pressing on her chest
Mae Entered the throne room to find the Wicked East Witch seated on her throne
Mae took in a sharp breath, it was so cold . Yet more than that sadness washed over her and down on her soul pressed.
Entering the once warm and inviting great hall she came eye to eye with the woman for whom her hatred had grown.
Sleeping Polar Bear
Still in the angels care
For under the East Witches spell
I fear it will not end well…………………..
