Needing distraction
The rain is washing the windows, the wind is howling like a wolf round my bundle of bricks and I am willing my roof to stay put. Well cocooned under the duvet, I am wondering if I could stay here for a week? The crumbs from toast are uncomfortable and it is difficult to navigate my way through the world of blogs with only my nose and one eye outside the covers. I better be brave and face the world outside my bedroom.
Sometimes looking for inspiration, I find it helpful to trawl back through my past life in this place. No. Not under the duvet, but to travel back through my blog.
Along the road of my blog life I have done some strange things and stepped up to many challenges.
- I made a CD Cover with clues from a Meme.
- Worked a post around and using all the words in my category tag cloud (as it was at the time).
- Provided an LBC topic using a word from the tenth line of a page in a book, chosen and opened by someone else.
- I often begin with a line of utter rubbish (You will say I do that all the time), let it run and end up with a post and erase the original line completely.
Then one day, we beat the band altogether with a spanking new and scary challenge. It was so scary, we have not yet repeated it.
But who knows…. If the comments today prove interesting and varied, I might toss them in a drum and see what I come up with!

LOL I had forgotten all about that challenge! What a great time going back through your post. I still marvel at your skill!

I am afraid that I am getting senile. What is the challenge?
In any case, you take care and stay safe and warm. The crumbs can wait.

Ya shoulda got a good book and a flashlight, GM. That’s what I do when the going gets tough. Still, you probably had a good time traveling back in time.

Fossie - I loved that challenge.
Ramana - All the rich food and ‘candy’ seems to be upsetting your status quo.
Maxi - I enjoyed reminiscing.

I like going back in time, too. Some of my posts still manage to make me chuckle.

We are in the same kind of mood, missus. Serendipitous.

Gigi - Sometimes we forget the subjects we have covered.
WWW - I’m blaming the weather.

I know I am late on this one, GM, but I am in my own crumby toast bed here in Pennsylvania listening to the sleet hit my windows with a vengence…
Wouldn’t it be nice if we were in the bed together listening to the wind and the rain and taking turns making the tea and telling each other all the stories we have heard over and over through the years and maybe discovering a few new ones we never heard before?
Just sayin’……….

Nancy - We are round the clock again here to toast crumbs time. It would be wonderful to have you here, tucked under the duvet for a morning giggle as we shared the tea and toast spread with stories old and new.
