As I predicted Winnie thawed out towards bedtime and hoisted herself heavily onto the sofa in order to rest her fat face into the warmth of my crotch.
The day alone all forgotten for the sake of warm testicles.
It's a bleak Sunday morning here, after Storm Hannah ravaged the coast yesterday.
I'm on my second bucket of coffee at the kitchen table
Here are the final entries for the "My Corner" competition
enjoy.....closing date is 6pm - jgsheffield@hotmail.com
I know this Corner well
Ive actually been in this AustralianGarden...it was filled with smiling kookaburras

the garden is almost like a huge painting on one side of the room
sex and the city!
cosy

The painted white ceiling rafters and boards is a very welsh phenomenon

beat that view
I want that chair
wheres the baby?
magical
a much loved desk
comfy
that view is a hard one to beat
I like the lunch balanced by the books
I am puzzled as to why it has to be a competition. It has been an interesting exercise to see where fellow followers of your blog hang out.
ReplyDeleteno puzzle just a bit of fun
DeleteI was never going to pick a winner anyway, how could I?
Exactly as I was thinking, how could you, they are all wonderful to look at and each one tells its own story. I recognise one or two today.
Deletelittle places of peace from a hundred homes!
DeleteI love them all. Mine is just too boring to send you. Looking forward to seeing which one you pick.
ReplyDeletePLEASE SEND.. I love seeing everyone's corner, each one has a charm of its own
DeleteLeaving aside that I do agree with Rachel (fat load of good that'll do me) at first it hadn't even registered with me that this was a competition - one which, naturally, I haven't entered since I am so not competitive it's shameful - or maybe some charmer will point out to me that I don't like losing. Which isn't true. I am the eldest of four siblings and the last thing I needed during my long hours of keeping the (much younger) kids entertained is to win. Let others shine. That way peace and quiet lies and intrigue is kept at bay.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, if a winner WERE to be declared among some phantastic entries you received, it would have to be the one you titled "huh?". That was laugh out loud brilliant. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. And if I haven't said it before: Brilliant.

If it had not registered with you that it was a competition then it cannot be used as the reason why you have not entered.
DeletePoignant thinking and reasoning, Rachel. I was going to send John one of many "a corner" as much as it pains me to invade my own privacy.
DeleteEnter my timeline. Whilst I live to often act on impulse I do little IMMEDIATELY when it comes to the "public" domain. Blame my parents. You can't even write them a letter without them analyzing your handwriting. Never mind content. Oh, Rachel, ... I could tell stories which would make even you laugh in despair. Or maybe particularly you since you have an eye for/an interest in, the visual.
So, leaving aside technical difficulties, like having no smartphone and my camera having packed up and my comp having its own raison de NOT aitre, time to think stuff over is on my side.
Anyway, and do laugh, as am I, in disbelief, I am shy. So any old excuse to not ... will do.
U
ive not deleted your comments as I usually do as you have been positive and polite.
Deleteand this blog entry is am uplifting one to celebrate our own special corners in this world.
Really?
DeleteI'm not deleting or argueing with anyone today ..let's have a nice Sunday afternoon
DeleteThere was nothing poignant about it. It was fact and nothing more and nothing less.

ReplyDeletean apt song for today!
Deleteall late contributions have been put on at the start of this blog entry as it is easier for me to download them there
ReplyDeleteThis has been lovely, thank you x
ReplyDelete164 so far and a few late ones to come no doubt
DeleteI have really enjoyed seeing everyone's corner! It's a reminder to me of why I love blogging -- Because it can and does give me a glimpse into someone else's life, that I think is much more interesting than my boring one. 🙂
ReplyDeleteAgain, so much variety! And so many inviting spaces. Well, except perhaps that prison cell. Whose is that, I wonder.
ReplyDeleteI love the wide spectrum from cluttered and cosy to clean and modern, from small nooks to wide-open spaces. And every single one of them is attractive. You clearly appeal to all kinds of gentry with refined taste.
ReplyDeleteI recognise that front porch in this post and the loom with sewing machine in the previous post. I've just sent off my late entry.
ReplyDeleteSo many lovely spaces,
ReplyDeleteMine didn't get posted I am having so much computer problems it is out there in space floating .
cheers, parsnip
I love the variety of entries you're getting. Love the dog on the pillow and all the dramatic shadows from the Venetian blinds. I'm still going to get one to you, as soon as my phone charges!
ReplyDeleteAll of the corners you've received are wonderful. Thank you for doing this. I enjoy seeing all the various hobbies and I wonder what the hobby is of the one you labeled "intriguing"? And yes, in one of the pet photos - where's the baby? ; )
ReplyDeleteI've loved and enjoyed every single one of them! Well, maybe not the jail cell. You've done an amazing thing here, John. Talk about a soft place to fall...your blog and your followers! The world out there grows colder (warmer) and more insecure every day - here it's warm and cozy. Many thanks!
ReplyDeleteNext up, have everyone show their pets!
ReplyDeletelizzy
It's been lovely visiting the homes of your followers and so many lovely glimpses outside as well nice to see all the pets living the good life a make you feel good series John.
ReplyDeleteMy photo was taken just before the acquisition of the baby ... but it's one of my, and their favourite corners, so I had to send that one.
ReplyDeleteThese days the baby is to be found cuddled up in any tiny space between her big sisters ♥️
I would love to invite followers on my blog to do this, just imagine if all of blogland got involved - its so interesting peeking into homes and seeing the much loved pets, favourite chair, cherished plants and valued views - your best idea ever - thank you.
ReplyDeleteI have so loved this series. Thank you for sharing them with all of us.
