Marching splendidly
Patrolling the room-kingdom
I leave it to stomp

Watching the red glow
of a bush fire at Christmas
In Australia

Salad

Good grief, I'm silly
Didn't realise the rules!
Cucumber and cress

A mumsnet salad
must be massive and contain
lots of weirdums things!

Washing up

A sleepy silence
Rewards a hectic bedtime.
Yearned for yet so strange.

Bugger. Jinxed it.
Exchange a look with husband.
His turn to go up.

Green Fairy liquid
And hot water work the best
On greasy dishes

another day gone
takes me right back to school
a play that stayed with us

So much talent here!
Mumsnet reveals hidden depths.
Next topic? Marriage.

I trained my dog well
He always listens nicely
Except on Mondays

Not sure whether the
last post missed the new topic -
quite funny if not

Television

Crime, violence, death
echo nightly through my home.
It's just the TV.

Sleep

He's a good husband,
But for fuck's sake, the snoring!
I glare in darkness.

Baking

Making sourdough bread
Half the work is the waiting
Half is cleaning hands

The sea

Cold, wild, dodging turds
The North East Coast is blighted
Terrible, sad, shame

Cheese scones, oven warm
Dripping in proper butter
Delicious, soothing

Good sleep eludes me
I would love to sleep right through
Bladder disagrees!

Fierce, unyielding spray
An endless unbridled force
Wildness of nature

Waterfalls

Don't go chasing them
What comes up must fall right down
Just rain in reverse

Hedgehogs

Mrs Tiggywinkle
Skilled hedgehog washerwoman
Send her your laundry

I hope your baby’s ok, @Alloveragain3

Flying

Nights drinking baileys
Remind me Christmas is soon
Oh shit, buy presents

Have not read all but
I am laughing my a* off
So thank you much-ly

So much world to see
Aeroplanes will get me there
Adventures await
