oh dear

I got an emailed comment from John, which made me laugh and reminded me I should post something - and do you know what, I couldn't remember anything about how to log into my blog. I finally recognised the name of my original blog in my Bookmarks and luckily found I was logged in.... so got in here through the tradesman's entrance.... sorry I haven't blogged at all. I just haven't had the inclination. Nothing to say. I feel vaguely sorry about it, because I miss the other bloggers like Rima and Bobby who have given up and am glad that Debi and Bev have started again, but I am finding it hard to think of anything to say. I took pics in the summer and did interesting things, but .... so what? Who didn't have a good summer? I did some more lessons, but that is a while back now - I will try and get inspired, but no promises.  Here is a joke though.... it is  a long joke to make you glad I haven't been blogging... LOL

A Blonde was sent on her way to Heaven. Upon her arrival, a concerned St Peter met her at the Pearly Gates.
 
"I'm sorry," St Peter said; "But Heaven is suffering from an overload of goodly souls and we have been forced to put up an Entrance Exam for new arrivals to ease the burden of Heavenly Arrivals." 
  
"That's cool" said the blonde, "What does the Entrance Exam consist of?" 
  
"Just three questions" said St Peter. 
  
"Which are?' asked the blonde. 
  
"The first," said St Peter, "is, which two days of the week start with the letter 'T' "? 
  
The second is "How many seconds are there in a year?" 
  
The third is "What was the name of the swagman in Waltzing Matilda?" 
  
"Now," said St Peter, "Go away and think about those questions and when I call upon you, I shall expect you to have those answers for me." 
  
So the blonde went away and gave those three questions some considerable thought (I expect you to do the same). 
  
The following morning, St Peter called upon the blonde and asked if she had considered the questions, to which she replied, "I have." 
  
"Well then," said St Peter, "Which two days of the week start with the letter T?" 
  
The blonde said, "Today and Tomorrow." 
  
St Peter pondered this answer for some time, and decided that indeed the answer could be applied to the question. 
  
"Well then, could I have your answer to the second of the three questions?" 
St Peter went on, "how many seconds in a year?" 
  
The Blonde replied, "Twelve!" 
  
"Only twelve?" exclaimed St Peter, "How did you arrive at that figure?" 
  
"Easy," said the blonde, "there's the second of January, the second of February, right through to the second of December, giving a total of twelve seconds." 
  
St Peter looked at the blonde and said, "I need some time to consider your answer before I can give you a decision." And he walked away shaking his head. 
  
A short time later, St Peter returned to the Blonde. "I'll allow the answer to stand, but you need to get the third and final question absolutely correct to be allowed into Heaven. Now, can you tell me the answer to the name of the swagman in Waltzing Matilda?" 
  
The blonde replied: "Of the three questions, I found this the easiest to answer." 
  
"Really!" exclaimed St Peter, "And what is the answer?" 
  
"It's Andy." 
  
"Andy??" 
  
"Yes, Andy," said the blonde. 
  
This totally floored St Peter, and he paced this way and that, deliberating the answer. Finally, he could not stand the suspense any longer, and turning to the blonde, asked "How in God's name did you arrive at THAT answer?" 
  
"Easy" said the blonde, "Andy sat, Andy watched, Andy waited til his billy boiled." 
  
And the blonde entered Heaven...

I thought the joke was very good, but for some reason you think you have nothing to tell us that we may be interested in, while we are interested in all the little details that make up your life. Of course, we also want to see your drawings and your photographs, never mind if you think they are boring. Just have a chat with us, Frances, and let us know what is happening.

LOL

I like the way this blond holds her own against St Peter.

I agree with Irene. Just write anything you feel. I always do LOL Such a waste of blogging talent.

I liked her answers! Now that's thinking outside of the box, blonde or no blonde.

I'm glad to see you posted something here. I think it's common that blogs go through something like a summer vacation. That's why TV programs are in re-runs during the summer. People don't want to sit inside in front of a TV or any other kind of screen when the weather is nice.

You'll get your groove back, dear. I'm sure of it.

P.S. Thank you for all your comments on my blog. You and I could have quite a lively plant-talk, I see.
