With seven bodies in my care I find that I have completely lost track of time, hence this is an alternative to the ‘comment of the week award.’ I hope that normal service shall be resumed shortly or if not that, then longly.

This one goes to “Empress Bee (Of the High Sea)” who blogs at “Muffin 53″ for her comment on this post called “Good Fit”
where she says:-

‘social issues? huh? man, times sure have changed! enjoy the cats honey!!!

smiles, bee
xoxoxoxoxoxoxo’

It appears that we are both lucky enough to be in the “i-phone” club too!

By the by, I came across this tidy blog during the week that someone else might be interested in too. So if you have a free mo, nip along and say ‘hi de ho’ to “Hammer” and his “caption contest” for his daughter’s photo. Put your thinking cap on though first and hopefully she will enjoy a wealth of your wisdom, as I think it always helps to encourage small people with their creative efforts.

For the older generation or cat lover’s or both, you might also want to try your hand at this “caption contest” over at “DJ Kirkby’s blog,” called “Chez Aspie” but watch out as the competition is pretty steep.

I also have something stinky going on if you fancy a “nibble.”

“Leech babe” over at “Stuff with Thing”

The rules of the award are:
1. The winner can put the logo on her blog.
2. Link the person you received your award from.
3. Nominate at least 7 other blogs.
4. Put links of those blogs on yours.
5. Leave a message on the blogs of those you've nominated

I love lots of blogs……um……is that a surprise?

Anyway, due to excessive amounts of summer holidays and lots of spare bodies flopping about all over the place, I have be far too neglectful.

I have to be careful about this one, as although there are lots of blogs that I read, some of them are a bit rude. It would be just my luck to link to someone who chooses that day to be extra rude, and then where would I be!

I feel a fit of the vapours coming on just at the mere thought of such a possibility.

I think I shall play safe. [Note yellow stripe down back?]

First to “Scribbit” who I visit regularly even though she’s buried under rubble at the moment. Oddly enough when I first went there, I thought she was just a little blog like everyone else because there weren’t many comments. I assumed that she was just bimbling along with the rest of us. A lonely little lady in the frozen wastes of Alaska with me all isolated in San Jose, almost the perfect pen pal. Just goes to show that appearances can be deceptive.

My newer ones are “5 Minutes for Special Needs Mums” although I can’t for the life of me think why?

“Slurping Life” is a regular although the photo challenges are driving me quite batty.

I recently re-discovered “The Blogess” but the font size is a strain on the old bifocals. It’s an easy place to hide and she always gives me a little escape giggle.

“O Mighty Crisis” is a great site. I admit that I am black and white biased of course but her writing style always keeps me intrigued and amused. What more could anyone ask for?

“Carrie” at “Fully Caffeinated” is very much a kindred spirit. If this is a new one for you, then I would suggest that you start here at her post called “house rules” as I need one of those signs too! Although “Nature Corrects” is also excellent as is “Chaos Theory.” Oopsie, a little bit carried away there.

“Mommy dearest” has the most delightful [very short] video up at the moment over “here”. It’s only vomit inducing for the truly sensitive, and we don’t know anyone like that do we?

Is that seven?

No. Only six. Also to “Joey’s Mum” over at “Joey Andy Mom.” If this is a new one for you, then you can get a head start on your “holiday shopping.” Not the Summer holidays but …….the other one!

Near enough then.

Cheers dears

“Isabel” over at “Change Therapy” is a woman that I admire hugely as she does the psychobabble for real! Be assured that if you have a ‘problem’ which of course we never refer to as a ‘problem,’ she has the matter covered from every which way and back again.

Awardees, when you receive this post, here is what you are invited to do:

1. add the logo of the award to your blog
2. add a link to the person who awarded it to you
3. nominate at least 7 other blogs
4. add links to those blogs on your blog
5. leave a message for your nominees on their blogs

and here they come.

Drumroll! I shall number them this time merely so that I’ll know when I reach 7. Warning! All the following people have very big brains. [Visit with dictionary in your back pocket or prop yourself up on the double OED like me!}

1. To “Emily” at “A Life Less Ordinary” and you’d better believe it! Just ignore the fatty pants.

2. To “Mom – Not Otherwise Specified” at “Momnos” because parents who work out of the home deserve all the awards in the world.

3. To “Kristina Chew” at “Autism Vox” but don’t call her proff as that would probably be disrespectful. Do you know why proffs carry those proff bags? For their overflowing brain particles. Can’t be seen leaking in front of students.

4. To “Autism Diva” as that “video” needs dusting, but then you can’t expect people with lots of letters after their names to be bothered with cleaning, that’s my role, to nip round with my feather duster and bird brain.

5. To “Estee” at the “Joy of Autism” but don’t phone her as the line is permanently engaged at the moment.

6. To “Abfh” at “Whose Planet is it Anyway” where we can do politics too! Don’t be afraid to weigh in with your opinion!

7. Finally to “Oddizms” and I bet you’ve never seen anything like that before! But I’m always happy to be corrected.

Cheers dears

The ‘week’ is a bit wobbly at the moment as I try and get ahead and write posts in advance. So this time the award goes to….

“Jess” from “Diary of a Mom” on this “post” about wisdom. Her wise comment was as follows:-

“my dad gave me a couple of gems ..

~never trust anyone who starts a sentence with “trust me…”
and when i set out on my first real date:
~”put a dime (now a quarter) between your thighs and when it falls out, use it to call home”
ah, good old dad ”

If you haven’t visited her blog before I would recommend that a good spot to start would be on this post called “What I learned in Maine,” but not if you have a fish allergy.

If you too have a glut of courgettes then this might be a useful link:-

Zucchini Fritters

From “Simply Recipes.”

For the more adventurous you can split the batter into two. Add a teaspoon of toasted cumin seeded and Garam Masala to one half and a tablespoonful of Dijon mustard to the other half, then see which you prefer?

Some snipped Chives stirred into the sour cream or yoghourt is a good addition to consider.

A different way to cut down the salt, if you’re so inclined is to put the courgettes in a sieve, layer with cling film and place a weight on top to squeeze out the water. I expect a round house brick would do just as well.

[good luck on finding one of those!]

They can also be cooked on a hot plate if you have one, like pancakes.
