I've been made an admin of one of the photo groups I belong to. This week was my turn to pick the prompts, so I thought I would have a bit of fun with Halloween theme photos. The head of the group was not at all pleased with my choices telling me that no one in the group does Halloween. Well to my delight, everyone is getting into the spirit and posting some awesome photos. I feel like I've achieved something. LOL!
I have a question for all my author friends in blog land. As there are several different Amazon sites and I buy mine through amazon.com.au do you receive notification when someone does a book review? Once I read a book, I straight away review it before I forget. I've been finding that I'm the only one in the land down under who has either read or reviewed these books. Wonder how many are sold down here or am I the only one who reads dirty books as my daughter calls them.
Nothing much been happening around here, plenty of GGs and MFLs, time is sure flying though. I've joined a group called mermaids (aqua aerobics). Its fun and keeping me fit along with bike riding. On most days there are around 20 mermaids and one very brave merman, he laps up all the attention. Had D1 and little J visit recently for Bear's birthday. D1 definitely knows about our life style now, as whilst she was here I was on the receiving end of constant swats. One in particular happened when I was washing the lunch dishes. Bear had filled the sink with straight hot water which I didn't know until I immersed my hands. I let out an exclamation FAR OUT! Both Bear and D1 thought I dropped the F bomb, so Bear gave me one almighty hard swat, which hurt so much, I said FAR OUT again. D1 said there you go again dropping the F bomb you deserve a spanking. LOL! This is coming from Ms Potty mouth herself.
Its still rather chilly here surprisingly. We can be in the mid teens yet where our children live they are having temperatures 30c+. We had packed away our winter woollies only to rescue them again as the winds are so icy.
Hope everyone is keeping well and enjoying life to the max with plenty of spanky business.

I love it, Lindy! You definitely keep yourself super busy! You're D1 cracked me up! Glad Bear has kept the mfl and ggs coming to keep you warm!

Thank you Baker. I try to keep busy to keep out of trouble. wink wink! doesn't always work though unfortunately, you know how it is, I'm sure????
DeleteWill be happy to see some warmer days here.
Happy Halloween to you and your family.
Hugs Lindy xx
Happy Halloween Lindy, it's not really that big here either.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear things are going well with you and Bear. How wonderful to have some time with your daughter and grandson. Her comment made me laugh lol. Happy belated Birthday to Bear :)
The water aerobics sounds fun and good on you with the photo prompts :)

Hi Roz, hope your weather has started to warm up now. My eldest sister is on a cruise around there at the moment.
DeleteIt was wonderful to see D1 and J. It made Bears birthday even more special, thank you for his wishes.
Hugs Lindy xx
Hi Lindy, Happy Halloween to you too. I am not a fan myself but I have been to Dev's this morning to read his cute Halloween Tale. Glad you are keeping busy, it is getting a bit nippy here too. I have a feeling my nippy is about to out nip yours :(
ReplyDeletelove Jan, xx
Good morning Jan, I hope your nippy out nips ours. I am really ready for some warmth, my bones are too chilled. LOL!
DeleteI must go visit Dev, haven't been over there for a bit now.

Hello Lindy, congrats on becoming an admin in one of your groups. I wondered how the prompts were chosen. Hallowe’en is pretty big here now, the third biggest celebration after Christmas and Easter. Harry and I don’t celebrate it though.
ReplyDeleteGlad you’re getting some spanky fun - had to laugh at D1’s comments.
Rosie xx
It is fun so for being an admin. I think I'll stir them up a bit though with my choices for prompts. LOL!
DeleteHope you and Harry are having your own kind of fun even if not celebrating Halloween.
Hugs Lindy xx
Boo! Happy Halloween Lindy! I love that you got your photo group out to do something new and different. It's good to spice things up a bit. And way to go on the water aerobics. :) I've got about fifteen bags of candy lined up for our trick-or-treaters. We always have a big crowd. Amy
ReplyDeleteWow Amy, you must be popular in your area with that many bags of lollies. Hope you have a fun time.
DeleteHugs Lindy xx
I love your photos and isn't it nice when you get acknowledgement for your creativity.
ReplyDeleteYou're summer has not warmed up yet and our winter hasn't chilled down yet. Maybe we did a flip and no one told us.
To answer your question about reviews - No, we only see review of those who purchase their books through Amazon.com. I always thought that wasn't fair since they sell and we have readers in other locations as well, but...
Glad you enjoyed Bear's b'day and your gkids.
Maybe we need to do a bit of a trade off with our weather Sunny. I send you some cooler days if you can send a tiny bit of warmth my way.
DeleteThank you for answering my question. I wondered if you were told about reviews. Seems rather silly to me that you aren't notified.
Hugs Lindy xx
Halloween is never as exciting as when I was a teacher. I planned a party that lasted all day! Every subject had a Halloween themed lesson. Scary stories for reading and writing, estimation and fractions for math. Maps of haunted houses for geography. What a day we had.
ReplyDeleteWe watched the old Disney animated "Legend of Sleepy Hallow" with the character of Ichabod Crane. There were lots of treats all day, too. I was not one of those teachers who served celery sticks for parties!! I believed in sugar.
Glad you are well, Lindy! We haven't heard from you in a while, so you must be behaving yourself. Sam likes to swat me in the kitchen, as well.
Sending Hugs and Love Downunder,
Ella Says Boo!
Ella, I so wish you had of been around when I was in school. You sound like a wonderful teacher even with sugar overload. LOL!
DeleteHope you are keeping well now?
Hugs Lindy xx
Hi Lindy,
ReplyDeleteHappy All Souls day to you as well.
Just back from a trip O/S (the reason for no posts lately) and it is great to hear that you and your family are well. Getting back to the reality of 17 degrees C after 3 weeks of humid 30+ degrees has been hard work. The humidity was great as all my arthritis magically disappeared.
Many photos to look at and edit
Many hugs
Good to hear from you Don. Lucky you travelling where it was warmer and your arthritis disappearing. It must be so hard to adjust to the chilly days again though.
DeleteWould love to see your photos of the trip.
Hugs Lindy xx
Happy Halloween, Lindy...
ReplyDeleteSince I live in the country, trick-or-treaters are few are far between...the last were probably 6 or 7 years ago. Bear owes you a treat for the undeserved spanking. Sounds like D1 needs a spanking for her potty mouth. LOL Wish I could find an aqua aerobics class around here.
Hugs and blessings...Cat
Seems to be the way with country towns, Cat. No trick or treaters came around here and I've got a bag of lollipops going begging.
DeleteWish you lived down here to go to mermaids with me. It would be so much fun.
Hugs Lindy xx
Lindy, Hope you had a lovely Halloween. Not a fan myself and we don't celebrate. We didn't have one single trick or treater though I did see a few children with parents when we went into town.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Ronnie

Thank you Ronnie, now e didn't have anyone come visit us either. Now have a bag of lollipops for the grandkids next time they come up.
DeleteHugs Lindy xx
Halloween isnt big in my country either. Except in the clubs and for individual condo developments should they choose to set up something. Aqua aerobics sounds fun! And i must have missed the posts explaining it - im sorry to have to ask but what's MFL?
ReplyDeleteGood to see you visiting. We didn't have any children come our way. MFL is mighty fine loving or could be might fun loving which ever way you want to take it.
DeleteHugs Lindy xx
Hi Lindy,
ReplyDeleteYour story made me laugh. Our kids are small and I wonder sometimes what it will be like when they're older... will we tell them about our lifestyle... will they figure it out... will they want what this in their relationships?
I like that we are all at different stages in our dynamics and can glean from each other.
Hugs,
Jlynne
Hi Jlynne, it is good to learn from others in this life style. We all do our own thing yet its nice to hear of others ways and perhaps learn something new.
DeleteHugs Lindy xx
Lindy,
ReplyDeleteHalloween is huge around here.
Love reading how things are with you.
Thank-you so much for stopping by and the kind words--we are on the upswing ;-)
Wonderful to hear things are improving Bleue. Thanks for visiting, take care.
