I am in a muddle

My head is in a spin, I realised that I got a tag from French fancy but failed to pass it on..oops although everyone seems very busy. Then I got two more tags at the same time.

One tag is from Bindu..she has such lovely pictures and words in her blog, and makes lovely mirrors what a girl! Anyway Bindu's tag is below.

Here are the rules:
1.pick the 6th picture from your 6th photo folder.
2.tell the story around it
.3.pass it onto
.6 other people.

The other tag I got is from Tom Foolery.....great blogger and makes me chuckle.

Here are the rules, go to your fourth album retrieve your fourth photo and post. Of course you can break the rules and not play. But have you the bottle?

Ok so I am going to pick the 10th picture because 4 and 6 = 10 from my favorites folder. But from the end not the start of the folder....here goes.

It is a picture of a "window" in the castle ramparts in Fougeres, I took the picture on a sunny Saturday morning everyone else was in the town to shop but I wandered around the old streets and the Jardin Public. All the signs around the town say that this is the largest castle in Europe. I am so lucky to live only 15 minutes away and I never tire of looking at it. I love the light on the old stone work.


So pick the tenth picture from the end of your folder and tell us all about it please. Of course if you are too busy no worries.

I will tag 5 people just to be difficult.

1. French Fancy......brainy and funny too.

2. Woodwose Carving.........go look at Dave's wonderful carvings, clever so and so.

3. Claire.........I am following her novel at Writing not Reading

4. Brocobelle.......she has lots of lovely French bits and pieces

5. Art Propelled ......a talented crafts person and she obviously loves animals, go and take a look at BUG!!!!

Still tagging along

Honest things about me continued.

5. Years back when I used to go dog training, I once dressed up as a dog. I didnt want my dogs to go to the Christmas Fancy Dress at the dog training classes looking like idiots. So instead I dressed up as a dog.

6. When attempting to take my driving test for the second time, I was turned away three times. I drove about six miles in bad weather only to be told the conditions were too bad for a test, so I had to go all the way back again! three times.

7. I rarely eat breakfast since it just wakes up my hungry monster and then I just want to eat and eat all day.

8. I used to spend all my school dinner money on chips, and other unhealthy items.

9. I didn't take any Maths exams at school ,because I was told that I was unteachable. My first job was in a bank, then I worked in the computer industry, and have done bookkeeping for several businesses and worked in an accountants. So I have never been far from the dreaded numbers.

10. I once got permission from the headmaster at school, with two of my school pals, to skive off school one Friday afternoon. We used to teach sailing on Friday nights and the head was a keen sailor so we gave him some cock and bull story about needed to go to the Sailing Club and he believed us!

Here is a rather nice Roller, no I didnt take my driving test in one, returning to our village last year followed by other vintage cars behind. The people along the roadside are actually there to cheer a big cycle race, which started and finished here too.


The French word for headmaster is directeur.
The French word for idiot is crétin...and you hear that a lot!

Ten honest things about me continued....


3. I think I should be left handed.

Whilst playing the air guitar, haa haa I don't do this often I was informed that I was playing it the wrong way around, ie left handed. If I hold someones guitar I always hold it left handed too. In fact when the PC mouse first came about I couldn't get my right hand to move it where I wanted to so I tried with my left hand and had more success, after that my right hand could use the mouse too???

4. I have the map of the Greek island Crete upside down in my head, I could draw this map and show you where the towns are but it is as if I have a mirror inside my head.

Here is a picture with no connection at all, it is just that I am tired of all this rain and need to see some blue sky.
Pink and Blue

The French word for draw is dessiner

The French word for hold is tenir
