Esther Chilton is our host and you can find out more HERE

Your word this week is

He thought he’d give me a treat
With a pedicure for my feet,

All was not as it seemed,
Just ticklish in my seat!

It’s been a good day: 30th March

We could do with a few more of these.
The day started bright and sunny, but the wind was still on the chilly side.
Hubby walked Maya while I got breakfast, then we went into town as I had to go to the bank.
Traffic was really heavy, a little unusual as we were early, but then the kids have broken up for Easter and people will be coming to the area for a holiday.
We had to queue to park where we wanted, but didn’t have too long to wait, and Hubby was able to take Maya for a quick wee on some grass while I did the transfers. We shall be paying for the new flooring tomorrow and I wanted to make sure there were enough funds to cover the cost.

Sharing my World 30th March

Here are my answers to the questions posted earlier
1.  Can you speak a second language?
Not really. I speak a (very) little French and am surprised at how much I can remember from school in the ’70s, but I guess I could manage to converse a bit with a phrase book and their patience.

2.  Can you remember any popular novelty gadget from the past that is not so widely available today?
I remember the nodding/dipping bird on top of the TV which was apparently hypnotic so was withdrawn.

3.  Can you juggle?
Three tennis balls if I’m lucky.

4.  What is your favourite snack food?
Crisps (chips to my American friend)
