Any Suggestions

If you didn't visit Hermione yesterday for her regular spanko brunch, please do if you have a moment to spare. She (and me) are asking for your suggestions on how we can reach out to anyone who doesn't know about Love our Lurkers and how to get more bloggers to participate.

Your suggestions would be very welcome.

Thank you.

Stay safe.

Bottoms Up - Hermione

Thanks for joining me for another 'Bottoms Up'

This week we have one from our friend and fellow blogger Hermione

My favourite implement, hands down, is the rose paddle handmade by John at Leatherthorne. 

It's beautifully made and the rose gives it an elegant touch. It's a handy size and easy to pack for travelling. It is also a traditional implement; its shape immediately comes to mind when I hear the word "paddle". But best of all is the way it feels on my skin. It packs a wallop but isn't severe, and the sound it makes when it connects is pleasing for both of us. The picture is yours, not mine, but isn't it nice that we both have such good taste in paddles?

My least favourite (and I have several of those to choose from) is the red loop. 

It really cuts, and is quite nasty unless used very carefully and gently (is that even possible?) It doesn't come out too often, and when it does it must be when the neighbours are out, as I am very vocal when it's used.

Thank you Hermione. Oh yes the Rose paddle is definitely my favourite as well.  I don't think John makes them anymore. I don't like the look of your red loop. You are very brave.

Don't forget, if any bottoms, male or female who would like to do a review of their least (or favourite) implement (you don't have to have a blog) and why, please email me ronniesoul@gmail.com. I'll keep it secret if it's just for me but if it's OK for me to post it please say so. Pictures are always good.

See you next Wednesday for another 'Bottoms Up'.

An Old Meme

I found this old meme from Hermione which I did yonks ago, but think it's fun to see if things have changed since.

1. I give you money and send you into the grocery store to pick up 5 items. You can only pick one thing from the following departments. What do you choose?

Produce: spinach
Frozen: peas
Dairy: semi skimmed milk
Meat: if I have to it would be lamb
Canned Goods: Cannellini beans

2. Let's say you're heading out for a weekend getaway. You're only allowed to bring 3 articles of clothing with you. So, what's in your bag?

Don't you know a girl can't do a weekend with only three items of clothing - well this girl can't:)
Jeans
Blouse
Shoes

3. If I were to listen in on one of your conversations throughout the day, what 4 phrases or words would I be most likely to hear?

"Do you want a cup of tea?"
"Off for my walk"
"Spank me for what?"
"What do you fancy for dinner tonight?"

4. So, what 4 things do you find yourself doing every single day, and if you didn't get to do them, you probably wouldn't be in the best mood?

Speak with P
Not having a cup of tea
Showering
Going for a walk

5. You're driving down the road, and suddenly you're hit with this sense of road rage. What 3 factors probably contributed to it? 

I don't really get road rage but things that annoy me are:-
Drivers:
Who don't indicate
Who pull out on you
Talking on their mobiles

6. You just scored a whole afternoon to yourself. We're talking a 3 hour block with nobody around. What 5 activities might we find you doing?

Wow a whole 3 hours - in no particular order:
Reading spanking blogs
Knitting (at the moment)
Shopping
Catching up on housekeeping
Gardening

7. We're going to the zoo. But, it looks like it could start storming, so it'll have to be a quick visit. What 3 exhibits do we have to get to?

Wouldn't like to go to a zoo now as I hate to see animals caged, but if I had to, I'd see:
The big cats
Monkeys
Elephants 

8. You just scored tickets to the taping of any television show of your choice. You can pick 4, so what are you going to see?

Poldark
Question Time
Strictly come dancing
MasterChef the professionals

9. You're hungry for ice cream. I'll give you a triple dipper ice cream cone. What 3 flavors can I pile on for ya?

Don't do ice cream now. 

10. Somebody stole your purse/wallet. In order to get it back, you have to name 5 things you know are inside to claim it. So, what's in there?

I always know what's in any of my handbags.
Mobile
Hairbrush
Cosmetics
Umbrella
Purse

11. You are at a job fair, and are asked in what areas you are interested in pursuing a career. Let's pretend you have every talent and ability to be whatever you wanted, so what 4 careers would be fun for you?

Painter or a sketch artist
Classical Pianist
Primary School Teacher
Vet (as long as I wouldn't have to put any animals down)

12. If you could go back and talk to the old you, when you were in high school, and inform yourself of 4 things, what would you say?

Don't take everything so seriously
Stop, think first, don't jump straight in
Be yourself
Have more fun.

Couple of things have changed.

Thank You One and All

Yesterday was my 4th LOL day that I've had the privilege of participating in. So many people passed through my blog from different parts of the world and I thank each and everyone one of you who stopped by and a special thanks to Bonnie for organising it and to Hermione for the help she gives Bonnie.

Please forgive me if I didn't visit you yesterday just not enough hours in the day.
