Blog 5 – Pookey and the Crazy Bear – Ms Paige Turner tells an intentional fib each week. Be the first in to spot it and this week you could win a free taster session at Creative Ink for Writers to the value of £25.
What did you get for Christmas then? A new watch? More on watches later and more on ‘Pookey and the Crazy Bear’ – which is what my husband – I call him many things but let’s call him Mr Justin Case – got me for Christmas.
I want to talk about Master Mind as he has waited too long to be introduced. But like Ms Silver Screen Suppers www.silverscreensuppers.com said when I asked why I wasn’t one of the sixteen baubles on her Facebook Christmas Tree – ‘there just wasn’t the space’. Actually, I don’t want to be a bauble on Ms Silver Screen Suppers’ Christmas Tree – I just want her to keep commenting on my blog which she does. Bless her. I like Ms Silver Screen Suppers and I like Master Mind – which is handy as he is marrying my daughter – Miss Trial (the junior criminal barrister). Master Mind is very handy as he is the Lighting Director on my plays, has a double first from Uxbridge and knows all about the US losing patience with the Chinese over the exchange rate. I’ll be wearing a hat at the wedding – but not a red one as you know what they say about red hats.
Both my writing classes at the Fitzwilliams Centre will be running this term starting on Tuesday 11th (Get Inspired) and Thursday 13th (Get that Book) and there are a few places left. The theme for the Tuesday class is ‘Time’ to fit in with the Rhyme & Reason writing competition. For more details contact http://www.irhh.org/sitehome/pdf/fundraising/RRCompEntryForm.pdf
Talking of ‘Time’ – can Replica Watches please stop leaving messages on my blog inbox? I don’t believe you find my blogs riveting. I think you just want free publicity – which I do give to people when I think they are ‘quality’.
Talking of quality, my husband – Mr Justin Case – (so called because he always double checks bookings – which is handy when you are sitting at Cape Town airport the week before Christmas and had three Virgin flight cancellations and three black ladies are telling you there is no plane on the tarmac and you’ve phoned the butcher to double check the turkey arrival on Christmas Eve and why did my butchers find it hilariously funny that I was stranded in Cape Town?). I lost my patience and I’ve lost my thread. My husband didn’t buy me a watch for Christmas but he did buy me a Thai massage at the Crazy Bear in Beaconsfield. Pookey greeted me on Wycombe End by giving me a great bear hug and a kiss for the New Year. What a way to start it! Along with a reunion of deadly sins who were in my play ‘The Deadly Factor’ last year.
I thought that ‘Pookey and the Crazy Bear’ could be a great title for short story or poem. But please don’t get hung up on bears. Think about composing a ‘Dear John’ letter or email or text – because this year Creative Ink Publishing will be launching – amongst other things – a national writing competition on that theme. More details in a couple of weeks after my production meeting with Miss Juke Box (so called because she designs our flyers and builds our sets – her juke box for my first play ‘Blackberry Promises’ still in our garage) Master Sound Advice, Master Brylcream and of course … Master Mind.
Happy New Jahr!
Jan,
Now im not sure if this was a typo or not?!
But… Should the U in Uxbridge not have been an O?

Mainly as above, Jan. Surely no future son-in-law of yours would have a degree from Uxbridge. Will leave out the ‘O’, but I maintain he qualified elsewhere.
As stated in my sms, I am sure the intentional fib was ‘double first from Uxbridge’.
I copy those other clever folk. I’m truly sorry about the baubles lovely Jan, you’ll be on there next year I promise. I’m looking forward to the Dear John competition. What a tug on the heartstings that phrase do invoke…
Uxbridge is correct. I have a Double Cream from Uxbridge. I kept it so long that it went a lovely shade of Oxbridge blue. Unfortunately it didn’t get me a job. But I think I should win a prize for spotting the real error in the blog. It was your deliberate spelling error – Pookey at the Crazy Bear indeed! We all know what goes on at the Crazy Bear – you had a ‘pokey at the Crazy Bear.’ Very liberal minded of Mr Justin Case I must say. Pictures??
I am afraid your are mistaken, Mr Double Cream from Uxbridge: Pookey is the loveliest masseuse from Bangkok you could wish to meet. Try again on the next blog posted Monday 17th January. Better luck next time and so sorry to disappoint. 🙂
