Thanks David. This was only my third attempt. Last time I came joint third with plenty of company :)

Mmm, I think I could tolerate that too!
Get your thinking cap on for next months Nic!
Check your email inbox Nicola, and I'll remove my message when you do!

A woman of taste ;~)
Good luck Nicola, I found coming up with a theme harder than writing for one.
You chose a great theme David.
Yes, I think it will be a bigger challenge, David. Must think of something good. I've already made a fool of myself revealing my paw-sniffing habit.
I used to do that with the dog I had as a kid. They smelled like toast!
Yum! You can't beat the smell of dogs' feet. Unless they've stepped in something unpleasant on their walk ;)
Patti (Number 69) wrote: "You chose a great theme David."Thank you. Is it unusual to have 9 tie for second?
Ignite wrote: "I used to do that with the dog I had as a kid. They smelled like toast!"Just sniffed our dog's. Digestive biscuit; who'da thunk it?
See! I'm glad it's not just me. Sometimes they smell like popcorn too!
Oops! Wooden spoon for me - and I don't even have to share it with anyone. I'm off to sit in the corner and sulk...Right. Done that. What's the next theme? Whatever it is I'm going to work in ribbons, cyclones and parrots.
I voted for the parrot - what a strong image that is.
Well done, Nicola. Enjoy your spending spree.
The parrot made me a bit weepy actually.

Sorry missed this one.
Hmmmm.
Yes I think so. We usually have ties but that's a lot.
Patti (Number 69) wrote: "The parrot made me a bit weepy actually."OOO! tell me more, like why? I thought pure dialogue was a risky move, but enjoyed writing that way.
Well done, Nicola!I voted for Darn It!
I wrote Black and White.
The powerful imagery. The unspoken connection between the characters.The impression of deep love between them that you portrayed.
And now I've misted up again.
I love popcorn. I think digestive biscuit is the closest smell to the smell of Oscar's feet
I voted for the parrot too! :)Mine was Baby Blue - second again :)
Baby blue got my vote. I voted for yours last time, too. Your writing style must appeal to me :~)
mine was the stream of consciousness "Hue & Cry". Guess SoC may not play too well for the 200 word read :-)
Congratulations, Nicola. You may have destroyed my like of Nachos though, I'll be thinking about dog's feet from now on.
David wrote: "In that case you should read Alloria!"I'll get there.
I know. Too many books; too little time. Can't remember the last time I sat down and read for more than twenty minutes. :~(
Go to bed an hour earlier.Ha! My autocorrect wanted me to say ear litter.
Go to bed an hour ear litter, David.
All the litter in my ears tumbles from the mouths of my children.
Congratulations Nicola!The one I voted came in second.
Congratulations Nicola! I voted for Darn It but I liked Purple too. The choice was very hard this time: so many good entries.
Thank you :) I must apologise for spoiling the enjoyment of nachos. And possibly digestives.
Oh, Simon will have to sort the next poll, I think.
I'll be in Vietnam. Lying on a beach with my kindle, I hope.
