Day 90 - Paraprosdokians & So Very Crafty





Training seems a little on the back burner at the moment and it has nothing to do with "reading too much", not quite sure what is up with me but I just can't seen to get the enthusiasm to train!  However, I do not stop with one thing or another - Craig has promised to be my personal trainer and will get me running... apparently.... don't honestly think that is going to happen but hey, may be fun trying!  If he can get me up and down the two flights of stairs 40 times, you never know!

We did have a little bit of excitement here today with the Police... but if you want to know about it you will have to call!!! It was funny seeing the kids really nervous even though they hadn't done anything wrong... Savannah said to one of them..."I used to want to become a Ollice Possifer!", Luke couldn't stop giggling even though it was a serious matter and Craig kept trying to entertain the P.C. by chatting about the football which Mr PC was clearly not interested in.... I, on the other hand thought one of them was rather good looking and I think I probably licked my lips & twirled my hair a little too obviously, between the lot of us I am surprised we didn't get taken in for questioning.

Oh Mr Grey, Mr Grey where are you!

The most exercise I did today was running up and down the stairs in my heels at Camelot selling raffle tickets for "The Holiday of a Lifetime" - £10.00 a ticket for accommodation for up to 6 people (depending on destination) more or less anywhere in the world... it is an totally fantastic prize worth in the region of £3,000.00 with all proceeds from the raffle going directly to Marie Curie. Let me know if you want a ticket and if you win you can take me with you!  


One of the places you could stay if you won the Raffle Prize


I am also running another craft afternoon due to popular demand

Adults & Children welcome

As these events are proving to be very popular, it will be on a first come first served basis but there will be more over the next few months if you miss out!

During this session, I will be teaching the children how to use Angelica with stamps and designing their own cards, and how to draw cartoon characters - if we have enough time I will teach them the beginnings of how to do Calligraphy.

Please contact me if you would like to book a space and you can pay on my just giving website http://www.justgiving.com/beth-routt

This was sent to me today.... I loved it and wanted to share! Enjoy


PARAPROSDOKIANS...
(Winston Churchill loved them) are figures of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected; frequently humorous.
1. Where there's a will, I want to be in it.
2. The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on my list.
3. Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
4. If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.
5. We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.
6. War does not determine who is right - only who is left..
7. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
8. They begin the evening news with 'Good Evening,' then proceed to tell you why it isn't.
9. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.
10. Buses stop in bus stations. Trains stop in train stations. On my desk is a work station.
11. I thought I wanted a career. Turns out I just wanted paychecks.
12. In filling out an application, where it says, 'In case of emergency, notify:' I put 'DOCTOR.'
13. I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
14. Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.
15. Behind every successful man is his woman. Behind the fall of a successful man is usually another woman.
16. A clear conscience is the sign of a fuzzy memory.
17. You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.
18. Money can't buy happiness, but it sure makes misery easier to live with.
19. There's a fine line between cuddling and holding someone down so they can't get away.
20. I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not so sure.
21. You're never too old to learn something stupid.
22. To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.
23. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
24. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
25. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car. Amen
This one makes sense.
I'm supposed to respect my elders, but its getting harder and harder for me to find one now.

  1. Your website name stuck in my head - it made me laugh at the time. I also realised afterwards haha... subtle does it. Hope all is well, and I'll place an order with your lovely shop and pass it on to friends.
