Why does my brain wake up when I wanna sleep?
It just won't settle and count those sheep 1,2,3....no even the sheep have left in despair There's only so many times they can jump over a fence to be fair Overthinking is the worst thing I can do my whole life suddenly comes into review I half expect an episode of This Is Your Life with the good bits taken out and just left with the strife What's the point of worrying in the middle of the night? Those worries dig in like an annoying parasite It's not as if anything can be done at silly o'clock it's sleep I need so let me restock It's daft stuff that keeps me awake from 'did I buy toilet rolls?' to an unpaid bill giving me a headache I've actually shopped online in the early hours or given up on sleep, gone to the market and bought some flowers It is amazing what you can do to pass some time until the brain relaxes again and all is fine I'm not gonna get stressed or feel any sadder Nothing is going to stop me sleeping tonight not even me bladder 😴😴😴 Thank you for reading today.

What do you do if you find yourself somewhere you don't wanna be?
in a restaurant where the menu is hard to see Do you run or stick it out? To see what it's really all about Well after a few dodgy looks amongst ourselves we scarpered nearly bumping into the shelves Ya see after a few hellos and people acknowledging us there I thought staying there would have only been fair But no my accomplices decided to bolt don't worry poor eatery place it wasn't your fault The place was very snug and we just changed our mind not being rude or being unkind I bet it was strange for the waiting staff for one minute we were there then we were out of that gaff The other customers looked slightly aghast you've either not had any nosh or eaten bloody fast Apparently we didn't have to stay just to please any other and that is advice coming from my mother She knows what she wants when it comes to food and a brew so off we went in search of somewhere new 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️ Thank you for reading today.

human's falling over trying to give them a clout We walk around with a stings and the odd bite tropical infections we'll end up having to fight The pharmacies, they've seen it all how did you get bitten there Mr Brown from No. 24? A tablet here and some cream over there lots of insect repellent sprayed into the air I know about this as it has happened to me a bloody big bump I had for a week or maybe three It was hot, itchy and made me feel low at one point I thought I was growing an extra elbow I applied every concoction that I found on the net I visited the doctor so not to fret He said 'take an antihistamine without any haste' didn't like to tell him it calmed down after applying some toothpaste. 🐝🐝🐝 Thank you for reading today.

so many people all of a ka'fuffle There are amber warnings and impending drought I'll worn Barbara next door, she has all her top flesh out! This hot weather is changing how we live it's hotter than a boiler on a steamy locomotive So typical the Brits they canna cope we struggle in the heat and give up all hope We moan when we are hot and when we are too cold I would go outside for my feet they will scold Ebay are selling fast on fans and Tesco are running low on fizzy pop cans Drink water they say and keep yourself cool don't go outside without cream on you fool To stay inside at midday is sensible you know isn't that what they told us in six inches of snow? It is a muggy humid kind of heat It's a different kind on the island of Crete They have fresher hot weather there and in the Med you don't sweat buckets like here when you're sleeping in bed Feel sorry for some as it's hotter elsewhere but then they may have machines that condition the air So suck it up buttercups, pop on ya bikinis and budgie smuggling trunks it's only a few months till we're breaking ice from our pipes in humungous chunks 🌞🌞🌞 Thanks for reading today join me again tomorrow for Free From Friday Take care for now xxx It's good to sing
with all the excitement it will bring From small lessons in a church hall to the big stage in front of one and all We sing out loud and move with the tune I honestly thought my voice may bring on a monsoon But no it blends with all the rest and when nerves have gone I try my best Being in a choir is just so cool you can sing your favourite song without feeling a fool We chuckle and have a lot of fun but when the lights go down the work gets done With every salsa, clap and sway it doesn't matter if you go the wrong way The 'da da da da's' bring you back to the song and you can't beat an ending with 'Something Inside So Strong' We don't just sing, dance and laugh we go for the odd brew at the local cafe We help raise pennies for a good cause but feel a bit sad when our sessions take a pause I am talking of course about the fabulous Rock Choir if you like the sound of it go online and enquire It's as easy as www.rockchoir.com you could come along with us at our next concert or prom ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you for reading today.

football fans standing side by side Beer soaked as they got wet whenever a goal hit the back of the net The trophy is not for us this year but we'll be back don't you fear We never expected them to do what they did just watch out for the Euros and our next World Cup bid Third place is still up for a grab along with Belgium who are also fab It's been a very exciting World Cup with games you couldn't have made up Teams have gone through who we never would have thought and teams went out out, at penalties they got caught I think at times we all held our breath when the competition went to the point of sudden death I'm not sad or down in the dumps it's been worth all the clashes, bashes and bumps As England fans we will continue to shout out loud for this new young team, you make us so proud! ⚽️⚽️⚽️ Don't be sad, believe and get in the zone we'll try again.... FOOTBALL IS COMING HOME!!! ⚽️⚽️⚽️ Thanks for reading today. Come back tomorrow for Free From Friday but for now.... Take care xx A celebration now you're eighteen
I'm the proudest mum anyone has seen From a baby and wiping your bum I've seen you grow into the adult you have become It's been a busy eighteen years so I think we can raise a glass and say cheers You were diagnosed with Autism at an early age every day your life starts on a brand new page You have conquered having very little speech and always been at school for the staff ready to teach After setting your targets we have so many to thank not just the teachers but Thomas the Tank Whatever you face a smile is there it stops people short with their quizzical stare For sometimes you act a little different to them but to me though you are a precious little gem So what if you are loud and like Fireman Sam I'll let you into a secret, I'm also a fan Onwards we shall continue as we've always done Happy 18th Birthday my beautiful Son ♥️ Thank you for reading today.

When is a soup a soup or a broth? Soup is thicker and fills you up broth is a bit watery and you could drink it from a cup Both can have veggies in by the score but I think it's soup I really adore Broth is liquid from meat veg or fish eaten on it's own or make a gravy if you wish Broth can be used to thicken a soup so I suppose they are from the same group Buddies that seem to slosh together and enjoyed whatever the weather So it will piss me off no more every day's a learning curve that's for sure You can spill both down your best tablecloth that's what makes soup a soup and broth a broth 🥕🍅🥦 Thank you for reading today Please join me again tomorrow for Free From Friday but for now Take care xx I'm feeding the birds it's a serious job
seeds, nuts and a fat ball blob Not forgetting water to drink all on a table for a range of feathered friends I think That's what I'd like to see a variety of birds coming round for tea But all I seem to get is big bossy pigeons leaving the others a bit upset I know pigeons are birds and have a rightful place but they scoff all the food as if it's a race My poor little blackbird didn't get a look in pushed off the table his head all a spin It's not right, I wish I could have words I wonder if I've got the power to talk to the birds I'd say 'oi you big bossy pidgies' 'help yourself but leave some for the other kiddies' We wouldn't like someone keeping us from our food if I ain't got my cake I feel totally nude I'd give a pigeon a run for their cash peck their feathered bottoms then make a quick dash Justice for the small birds!! I feel a placard on the way a list of rules they must obey My dad has a barrier around his table ya know The pigeons are not gone but they are forced down below I tried that on mine but before it fell off the pigeons developed special powers, got beyond and continued to scoff Maybe I should open my table, welcome all to the food A lesson we should learn - everyone welcome, and with that I conclude 🐦🐦🐦 Thank you for reading today join me gain tomorrow for Free From Friday for now though take care xx It's rotten when love is not returned
it feels like your heart is well and truly burnt To even think of making that effort again seems hard work thinking back to then Some things are not meant to be life works out for the best, a future to see So don't spend too much time with that broken heart it will heal in time and you'll make a new start For now though life alone is where it's at some don't really understand that There may be someone at the end of the phone a friend to have a laugh with or even a moan Love will come around again when the time is right it will fall into place when 'the one' is in sight You can't force it, it doesn't happen that way you can't make it work if that someone won't stay One could choose to be bitter, sad and mean but where does that get you with all that you've seen Yes you can say 'well what a waste of time' it's just an experience, a mountain we climb Mistakes are made on the expedition of life you just overcome the trouble and strife Life is your book which you are waiting to write So start a new page make it happy and bright ♥️ Thank you for reading today please pop back again tomorrow for Free From Friday for now though Take care xx |
