This weeks quote in another one of Dyans ' Land of make believe - next right'                                        Sonia and her two friends Lowri and Bethan were on their way to school for an audition for the next school play which involved a fairy story about a princess and some rival princes who were after her hand in marriage. They had all reached the age of five and believed in dreaming about how their futures would  be really exciting and I'm sure the odd prince came into the conversation.  Lowri  and Bethan were full of dreams of how they would be princesses and the handsome rich Prince to would come along and this play would just suit their romantic dreams, so they were going to try their best to get a really good part. Their crowns were ready and they were now wondering who the handsome prince might be. For the life of them they couldn't think of a like candidate in their class who would fit the part, in fact they didn't like any of the boys at all. Who would be the princess, there was only one and both of them thought they were good enough., Well thought Sonia this will be interesting, one or both them might well be disappointed, Sonia didn't really like acting so she had made up her mind not to try very hard at the audition. Soda was also getting fed up with hearing them talking about princesses and princes and before they arrived at the school she couldn't resist saying to them "Land of make believe - next right" I wonder what will happen !!

Thursday Journal with Neet.

 This week the words are 'I do not fail, I succeed in finding out what doesn't work' Annette had arranged to meet her best friend Gloria to discuss their next art project. Annette had taken her dog Tiny with her as he always liked chasing the falling Autumn leaves. When they saw Gloria she was standing with an umbrella on her head like a hat and with piles of Autumn leaves on the ground near her feet.     

Rather than wait for Gloria's usual words of that dog is too big to be called Tiny, he'll get a complex. She rushed in with "Why are to standing with an umbrella on your head it's a lovely day, and before you say anything he was tiny when I got him and it makes people smile when they see how big he is" "Well said Gloria to answer your question, I have the umbrella on my head as I don't want a leaf to fall on my head that might have a caterpillar or a slug on it" "Oh Annette replied, what should we do for our next art project?" "I thought we could collect some really pretty Autumn coloured leaves and press them so we can make nice pictures with them next year when they have finished being pressed, what do you think Annette?" " Well to be honest I don't want to do that" replied Annette    " Why not, you would be good at that" said Gloria. "No I tried pressing them last year and they all ended up the same brown colour, nothing like how they started out.  I don't want to try again. I do not fail, I succeed in finding what doesn't work, they didn't work, so think of something else we could do"

A short story this week as I have my eldest daughter staying with us and regrouting the bathroom which has awful dark grey grouting with light coloured tiles which make it look dirty. She has also tidied up the  garage for Peter who is not well organised at all.

The words this week are 'I love how bad-ass we think we are when we're together' Heather and Stella have been friends since they were children and are used to getting into all sorts of trouble. There was the time they tied their brothers up and hid them at the bottom of the garden covered in autumn leaves where if they made a noice they wouldn't be heard. It was only when their parents said they would contact the police that they had to confess. Better to face the parents than some irate police for wasting their time. They had also been very adept at playing truant from school or writing illness notes from their parents. They seemed to get caught all of the time but still found themselves in all sorts of trouble. They seemed to think it was normal and as Heather said "I love how bad-ass we think are when we are together.

 The Words this week are 'You don't have to be crazy to be my friend- I'll train you' Alison's having a peaceful morning away from work, visiting her friend Ellen who looked very relaxed sitting on her lawn with her pet owl on her leg, and a huge ladybird fascinator on her head. It was a really lovely friendly owl, but Alison thought her friend was a bit crazy having an owl as her pet, and why wear a hat in the garden on such a lovely Autumn day. She felt she was far more normal by having a somewhat neurotic dachshund called Sid. Sid was busy keeping his eyes on the owl. waiting for an opportunity to chase it. "Don't even think about it Sid" warned Alison assuming Sid could understand everything she said. The two girls chatted about work for a while and then the subject of pets came up and Alison said "I think I am far too normal to be your friend if we are going to disagree on the subject of pets" said Alison. "Oh" replied Ellen, "You don't have to be crazy to be my friend -I'll train you" Ellen thought to herself that Alison was part way to crazy already with Sid as her choice of pet.
