Honours and Batteries........

Mimi (Mimi Writes), the Queen of the Peace Globe Movement has bestowed the following award on me.




Not only that, she had these very kind words to say


Her Friday Flash Fiction is truly excellent. Witty. Smart. Entertaining. Check it out! She's the Hawaiian girl from Lancashire, United Kingdom. I appreciate her faithful comments. HUGS to you my friend.


Now these words mean a lot to me especially coming from someone like Mimi, a mistress of penmanship.


Thank you Mimi I am truly honoured.


Mimi didn't give any rules about passing the award on so I will just pass it on to one person as Mimi did.


The award goes to someone I have only recently discovered. A man who's post titles and witty footnotes, like this:


Gee, The Navy Puts Up With A Lot Of Ship


A $600 million Royal Navy aircraft carrier had to turn back two days into a mission - after its fridge broke down. HMS Illustrious, complete with hi-tech weaponry, was heading for the Indian Ocean with nearly 1,000 crew on board when it returned to port yesterday. A fault was located in the giant fridge so the captain set course for Portsmouth, where refrigeration experts were waiting to start the $20,000 repair.


FOOTNOTE: Like a fridge over troubled waters.

have me in stitches!

Then there's his photographs - go check them out they're amazing.

This week's question:

How efficiently (or inefficiently) would your household function without batteries?

I don't think we'd cope at all!

Change channels on the telly,
Start the DVD,
Turn the music up and set the video to play.
How to do all this? – you know that they’re a must!
The remotes aren’t working ‘cause the batteries have gone bust.

The cordless phones aren’t working,
You forgot to charge them up.
The Xbox racing game’s no good
Battery operated hand-control’s suddently gone kaput..

What time is it? The clocks are wrong,
And the calculator’s dead.
My cell phone’s worse than useless.
“Put new batteries in” I said.

I want some information
I’ll google it right now.
“Where’s the A4 batteries Spike?”
The mouse has gone on strike.

The lights are off,
A power cut.
The torch is in the cupboard.
Drat the thing’s not working
“Where’s the battery hoard?”

Who said we don’t need batteries?
They’re the most essential item.
In this modern world,
Just try and do without ‘em!
