It's hodgepodge time...........

 


February 26th is National Tell A Fairy Tale Day...have you read a fairy tale lately? What's your favourite fairy tale? Do you believe in 'happily ever after'? 

No, I haven’t read any lately, although I have heard a few like when any politician says they will do this or that.

Complete one of the following sentences with a thought relating to your life currently-

  • Once upon a time___________
  • A long time ago________________
  • In a place far far away__________

A long time ago, in my parent’s lounge-room, I met the love of my life, my soul mate, Tim the date was 9 June 1983.

Which of the following 'fairy tale foods' is your favourite? Which have you made/eaten most recently? 

porridge/oatmeal (Goldilocks and The Three Bears), an apple (Snow White), a gingerbread cookie (The Gingerbread Man), pumpkin soup/pie/bread (Cinderella), peas (The Princess and the Pea), beans (Jack and The Beanstalk) or a cup of tea (Alice in Wonderland)

Porridge, I have it often during the winter months

What's your idea of fun? 

Having a family lunch with my siblings is fun or one with my daughters.

Next week's Hodgepodge lands in March. Is that right? I guess so.  Give us one noun, one verb, and one adjective that tell us something about your February. To make you think a little harder, you cannot use the words cold or snowy. 

Ok I can’t use the words cold or snowy, how about hot and sticky, or maybe muggy or humid. These words describe my February as does, happiness and birthdays.

Insert your own random thought here. 

Many of us have known each other a longish time and I feel connected to many. Visiting blogs often make me feel happy, and they bring memories to the surface, they make me laugh and that feels good. I may get angry over what I read, not with the blogger but with the situation they have described. Visiting blogs helps me learn about different things and learning is good, even if schools often teach useless information and not how to manage cooking meals, balancing a budget and shopping to save money.

  1. A long time ago (1969) I was at a university conference in Ballarat and noticed 3 men around a bridge table, waiting for a fourth player. I joined in, loving the bridge and admiring my (unknown) partner's face, red hair and intellect.
    He went back to Sydney after the conference.. but we married a year later :)
