2nd Blogiversary

Today the 16th July   Down under Dreaming is 2 years old. Well that time has gone by in a blink of an eye.  Its been wonderful getting to know each and everyone one of you and learning so much from reading all of your posts.  At times I think no one will want to hear about the life of Bear and Lindy.  For some strange reason there is this  pull though to type events when they happen. I raise my glass to you all.  Cheers!

Recently I've been able to face time several  bloggers, so am able to learn a bit more about their lives, which is absolutely fabulous.  I said to one of them it makes me feel like one of the cool group. LOL!

Thank you all for sticking by me over the past 2 years, for all your lovely responses to my posts and advice when I needed it most.  Thank you PK for talking me into blogging, its been a wonderful time. I know  few have come and gone during this period, which is really sad.  Hopefully there are many more years left for Down under Dreaming  and TTWD in the land.

Hugs Lindy and Bear

PK asks?

I'm sure everyone knows the famous words of Forrest Gump. 

“My mamma  always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.” 

Well that about sums up TTWD for me and maybe for a lot of us in the land. I've read quite often that some of our men are not consistent and its been a while since our last spanking.

PK wrote a blog titled  Still thinking about the spanking lifestyle and asked the following questions 

Will your man talk about TTWD with you? Are you so established in what you do that you don’t need to discuss it any longer? Would you like to talk about it with him? Do you talk face to face or email? If you don’t really talk about it is there anything you would like to tell your guy about TTWD that you think he should understand better.

I must admit the post you wrote PK could be my life.  Bear is such a gentle man he is afraid of hurting me to a certain degree. Although he has also said he is afraid of liking it too much by really spanking hard. He doesn't want to be the 'boss' of me on a full time basis either. Yet I've taken a step back since we moved leaving most of the final decisions to him. Not that we don't discuss purchases at times, just that Bear decides which items we need.

So in answer to your questions

Will your man talk about TTWD with you?

Bear will talk about TTWD a tiny  bit.  He was surprised  when I talked to some friends recently via face time that others DO practice TTWD.  Although we have talked about it previously, he obviously thought it was our little secret. He had heaps of questions for me once I was off the phone.  This also spurred him on for a short time, pity it didn't last.

Are you so established in what you do that you don’t need to discuss it any longer?

We seem to run either HOT or COLD with TTWD.  So no we are not established enough. Some days Bear wears his HOH hat so well I have to watch my Ps and Qs.  On these days every opportunity he gets, he gives me hard swats or a full on spanking. 

Other days he isn't interested at all, leaving me feeling confused.  We seem to have set backs when either of us is sick also.  Which makes it hard to get back in the swing of things.

Would you like to talk about it with him?

Definitely if he will sit down for a lengthy discussion. Its hard to pin point a good time.

Do you talk face to face or email?

We talk face to face.  When we were first married I used to write him letters. Bear thinks the written word can be taken the wrong way and can hurt more than a proper conversation.  So I try to talk to him.  Some times its successful, other times he seems to change the subject very fast, which is frustrating.

If you don’t really talk about it is there anything you would like to tell your guy about TTWD that you think he should understand better.

I would really love to tell him that consistency would help a great deal.  I need to know where my boundaries are  daily, instead of chopping and changing. Also with regular spankings I seem to have a higher pain threshold, yet with the odd one here and there its too hard to take.  I wimp out.

In the end I know Bear loves me with all his heart and would never do anything to upset me.  Yet I still feel like I'm crazy wanting to be spanked, yet I can't change the way I am.  I throw my hands up in the air saying I'll just read more of my 'dirty books' as D1 calls them and leave my fantasies in my head. It seems to nag at me though until I blurt out to Bear spank me.

Happy 4th July to all my friends in the USA.  Hope you're all having a wonderful celebration.

Polishing my halo

Thursday Bear had to go for a 12 month check up at his eye specialist.  Can't believe its already that long since his first operation.  Anyway as you all know by now I belong to a few photo groups on face book.

Well a girls got to do what a girls got to do.  When an opportunity arises I snap away no matter where I am.  Bear was not very impressed with me taking photos in and around the doctors surgery.  Then we went to our favourite pub for lunch.  Yes started taking more photos.  Well you never know when a suitable prompt is going to come up for me to use them.

Bear only has two meals a day, so when we are out he has an entrée of soup, before his main.  He dropped a few toast crumbs on the table.  Naughty Lindy forgot her manners and started flicking them off the table.  Oops!  By now Bear was fuming with both all the photos and my behaviour.
He said to me that he was  surprised I didn't take a selfie whilst  doing that.  I cheekily replied I'm surprised you didn't take a photo of me.

I was the designated driver home as Bear had laser surgery, so he didn't say very much.  When we arrived home though, he took me into the bedroom, pulled down my jeans and knickers and polished my halo.

I soon learnt my lesson and was a good little angel again with a lovely red backside, apologising for my antics.  Next time I'll be more careful. 

Have a good weekend everyone.  Sure is cold down here now, going to be 12c/53f here tomorrow.  So if you like I can send some your way, if you send some warmer weather please.

MAGIC PILL

Did you know spanking and MFL are way better alternatives to medication when you're suffering from any ailments?  I've had this terrible migraine since the middle of last week.  A friend suggested buying an amber necklace, which I'm very grateful for, thank you.  So I trotted off to a shop in our little city to purchase one and was surprised at how much it helped in reducing the pain.

Still it lingered in the background, not so overpowering though.  Last night Bear decided to try his own method for healing my sore head.

doona/duvet

We were snuggled up under the doona, then he rolled me onto my tummy and lit into my backside. Whack whack whackety whack!   until it was as red as that writing.

Delicious! 

  It felt so good and as usual we both started giggling, which  led to some MFL.

I announced to Bear today that my head feels 100% better, so I need a regular dose of his medication.  Hopefully he will comply.

So take my advice, throw away all your medication and ask your hoh for a yummy spanking pronto!

SPILLING THE BEANS

Hello all my blogland friends.  Feels like ages since I've written a post, yet its just over a month.  Blogland seems to be rather quiet with a few people obviously taking breaks for their own personal reasons.


I had a very interesting conversation with a  girl who I will call Rachel, the other day and spilt the beans about our life style. 

EEEKKK!  Don't know if this is going to come back and bite me on the bum like karma, hope not.

Rachel was telling me about a friend of hers who just lost her father and needs help as she turns to self harm.  Both Rachel and her friend have the same thing in common, their form of self harm is cutting.  I had known that she  did this before which worried me no end, yet never asked what she  achieved out of it.  When she explained about the high she gets, I said that's the endorphins. 

Being quite concerned for Rachel's  welfare, I said there are other ways to  feel that  high the endorphins give you.  DING DONG alarm bells went off,  why have you opened you big mouth Lindy, stupid woman!  I knew what the next question was before Rachel verbalised it.

"So what do you do for the endorphin highs?"

Even though she couldn't see me, my face was burning with embarrassment.  I thought do I lie or tell her the truth.  I took the second option telling her the truth about our life style.  We had a long discussion during which  she asked "So like in outlander with the spanking episode?" 

Yep exactly was my reply.  I wish I could have seen Rachel's face to see how she was taking the news.  I wanted to take back my words but it was too late for that, it was all out in the open.  She declared she knew there was something kinky going on in our retirement, just didn't know what.  Oops!  What have I done opening up a can of worms like this.

Our conversation went on a bit longer with me explaining things and suggesting she try it for herself, rather than doing something dangerous like cutting.  I think I gave her a bit of 'Food for thought'.  I ended with saying  VANILLA IS SO BORING,  you need some KINK in YOUR life, then left it at that. 

I expected further questions since this but nothing more has come from it.  So I don't know if Rachel is willing to give our life style a go to see if it suits her or she thinks I'm totally nuts.  So do you think I did the right thing in telling her, or should I have lied?

Enjoy your week everyone.
