Todays word: Obscure

Today's inspiration:

Hank stared in horror at Cheri's transformation into the black creature from the lagoon, unaware the piranhas had eaten his leg. Cert 18

---o'O'o---

Hank didn't know the meaning of "a black look" until he told Cheri he'd left the picnic in the car.

---o'O'o---

Hiding from Voldemort, Harry and Hermione ended up in some obscure locations.
"Can't you just put your glasses back on?" Hermione moaned

Todays word: Expedient

Today's inspiration:

Tom's venture into fly-on-the-wall peeping failed 

to take account of the corresponding 

reduction in brain power.

---o'O'o---

Jane's 1960 copy of  the first spiderman comic
was the most expedient, but how was
Peter going to explain the messy cover?

---o'O'o---

"Pretty Fly!" exclaimed Joyce,
adjusting her pince-nez
"Why, thank you," replied Reggie,
smoothing down his remaining hair.

Todays word: Tribute

Today's inspiration:

Barbara was beginning to think that wearing her tribute to 
Lucian Matis' tissue paper dress wasn't such a good idea

---o'O'o---

Succinctly Yours - Positively Glistening!

Todays word: Glisten

Today's inspiration:

She knew ladies were only meant to glow, 
but Hilda had broken out into a cold glisten as 
Mike the Moped Maniac sped towards her

---o'O'o---

Hilda's pet rattlesnake was as good as gold as she
carried him around in a shopping bag.
The bag snatcher was in for a bit of shock though. 


---o'O'o---

Todays word: Kink

Today's inspiration:

Harold looked from one to the other. 
"No, sorry," he said. "You don't look like an English Rose to me."

---o'O'o---

"But Monsewer Daycart said kinky roses would show my love!" Harold exclaimed. 
Marie tried desperately not to laugh. "That's cinque, Harold."

---o'O'o---

The weekend did not quite go according to plan. 

As soon as I started to rake out the failed grout in the shower I realised I was in trouble. The base coat plaster behind had turned into biscuit mush:

So I ended up having to take off all the tiles along the bottom of the shower:

Trying to "un-saturate" the walls!

After 24 hours I re-plastered the gap, hoping it wasn't too soon to be doing it. Only then did I think to check how long I would have to let the plaster dry before tiling. 

FOUR WEEKS!

Just as well we have a bath! (I strongly dislike baths after 30 years of showering, but what can you do?)

I am not Mr Popular at the moment!

Back on Wednesday I hope.
