DISCUSSION -- March 2014 75 Word Writing Challenge

[Jo Zebedee]

Points mutely at fizz glasses and smiles. I can celebrate for the winner early.

 

[stormcrow]

With you there..."Cheers"!

 

[Abernovo]

Evenin' all - busy on here right now, isn't it.


Virtual absinthe ice-cream sundaes all round whilst we wait for poll to close; with, maybe, water-melon and star-fruit smoothies for those who don't drink alcoholic drinks?

A sundae, then, please. Just the one, though - I'm a lightweight. Mind, with absinthe, one might be enough!

Thank you so much for the vote, Tisiphone.

Chrispenycate- she is gorgeous. Very contented and quiet. Has to be woken up for feeds. Have enjoyed my cuddles this evening.

Here's a link to a couple of pics:

Crystal Haven - you're welcome!

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Ah, so gorgeous. I love 'em when they're small and snuggly and someone else does the nappies.

 

[chrispenycate]

Sends huggles.

 

[Tisiphone]

Thanks Springs!

It's the best thing in the world to be snuggled up with a babe and a book (or 75 word stories as it was this evening).

Never too young to listen to stories!

Lovely pics Tisi - thanks for sharing! x


She's lucky to have you; you're lucky to have her; ain't the universal balance a wonderful thing!
