Dead right....I'm on that bus!!

My Daughter's lavender cheesecake has won prizes!!
Now that is an achievement to sing from the rooftops!

Innit... When I taught high school, the kids couldn't speak without using that ******* word. I once challenged one to try, and his actual answer was: "Innit, Sir, I can!"
HOW MUCH???I was thinking I'd like to have one if I ever own a piece of dirt, but not at that price!
Yup, that took me by surprise too. I've seen prices as high as £100k for the really swanky pools. That's a lot of money for a lot of nothingness.Mind you, it's not as expensive as owning a yacht:

It's more expensive than you think to be rich!

I'm sorry. You simply cannot win these. All you will get is blank stares from those you are trying to educate. Loose/loose. Save your time and energy for those you have measurable influence on.
You realise you've released them and they'll take up residence in something else now.I'm betting on your cooker clock.
Nah, there seems to be a run on evil fridges at the moment.
What has your's done now?
Mine is surprisingly well behaved. A friend's has made their milk go chunky.
It's still good. They just need to strain it through their teeth as they drink it.
Or have a chunk-spitting contest?
You'd have to ask Rosemary about that.
So what's all the fuss about mainsplaining and manspreading, eh?https://willonce.wordpress.com/2016/1...
I'm going to have to shoe horn the word manspluttering into a conversation.If we all work together we can get it into common usage in no time.
The rime of the ancient floating candles. Apparently it's hygge.

Not long after the war, when rationing was about over, my mother donated a plucked and oven ready 'old hen' to a village raffle. (Back then they were welcomed if only to make broth from) Only to win it back
When food was still scarce - even winning your own old hen back was probably a bonus, as it was probably hard to give it up for a prize in the first place. By the time I was born in 51 - there was very little still on ration, so I was lucky not to be caught up in it......... well, I say that - but we had our own type of rationing in my family - it was called "lack of funds" !! ;-)
The riddle of Santa. Should "stages of life" jokes be a thing?https://willonce.wordpress.com/2016/1...
https://willonce.wordpress.com/2017/0...Does a picture pain a thousand words? I'm getting into photography and it's intriguing what similarities there are between writing and photography.

Some pictures - particularly by Dali - are pretty painful Will - all those pointy heads and triangular faces must hurt!! ;-)
That's very true. Mind you, some books are pretty painful too."It was a dark and stormy night ..."

It was a dark and stormy night.....
..........the wind was howling wild
When a very angry father stood o'er his trembling child
The child knew he had been naughty and would be sent to bed
For he had ripped the Beano that his Father hadn't read!!! ;-)

Quite true Will. Just as a book it is open to different interpretations. I wish you luck and hope you enjoy it! Please do share them with us here or on your blog! :)
That reminds me. Must check out when the next Bulwer-Lytton competition is..

Why are there so many darned buttons on my camera? And how can that tell us how to write better stories?
All about cameras today. Looking in more detail about what those buttons do.https://willonce.wordpress.com/2017/0...
More camera stuff. I may be talking to myself, but I'm enjoying myself!https://willonce.wordpress.com/2017/0...
Random musings about the meanings of words and the Queen's hat.https://willonce.wordpress.com/2017/0...
Lots of phrases don't make sense. They are stragglers and outliers from the wreckage that is out beautiful and battered language. And they add a pleasing air of absurdity to it that only foreigners and writers actually notice.
https://willonce.wordpress.com/about/...A landing page, a landing page, my writing career for a landing page.
You seem confused over whether its a page or a stage.
You are quite right. But then I am easily confused. Changed now.Thanks for pointing it out.
Its just a stage you were going through....
