Happy Pancake Day, I hope you’ve been enjoying your Pancakes

This year I’m taking a break and Were having Store brought pancakes this year.

I’m not being lazy I over did it by following my hubby on an 8 mile walk across the English Countryside and I’m feeling a little delicate today, I don’t think I’ve walked that far since I was a teen, neither has he

So I’ve put my frying pan away for today, but for all you traditionalists here is a pancake recipe for Pancake Day by Delia Smith.

This Post is for Stephen G. Willmer.

we met Stephen locally and we got to talking, I told him about my little Good Karma blog, after visiting my site he said he can’t help but think of the happy song when ever he visits my blog.

I think the song is either Happy Talk or Get Happy by Ella Fitzgerald , if there not I’ll have to keep looking for more happy songs

This is for you Stephen enjoy

Happy Talk song by Ella Fitzgerald Lyrics

Happy talk
keep talkin’ happy talk

Talk about things you’d like to do.
You gotta have a dream
if you don’t have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true?
Talk about a moon floatin’ in the sky

spent the afternoon watching the movie Dark Crystal with my son, he’s never seen it.

Apparently it wasn’t a hit when it was released in 1982, I remember watching the VHS video of Dark Crystal over and over before it had to go back to the rental shop when I was a little girl around 7 – 10 years old

Dark Crystal was one of my favourite films when I was a child and I’m glad to say that Dark Crystal 2 is going to be made, so I’m guessing I wasn’t the only one who loved Dark Crystal as a kid.

I hope it’s true, I can’t wait

Went out for a family walk passed midnight and saw the biggest brightest shooting star I have ever seen, it flew by right in front of us, it came over the rooftops and blazed across the sky lighting the night up like a torch.

We where totally awe struck.

The sky was slightly foggy (it was warm out with no wind which is unusual for February) the stars looked hazy, yet the meteorite was so bright we saw it clearly, my hubby jumped up and down with excitement

If seeing a giant meteorite wasn’t enough on our way home we heard a Robin singing at a quarter to one in the morning, it was so loud!

Meeting Dr Geebers the Pebble Man and looking at his brilliant 3D Pebble sculpture of a formula one car, got me thinking about all the art I’ve done with my kids on Skegness beach over the years.

Their not as good or on as grand a scale as Dr Geebers pebble sculptures, but I think I did well to get my kids immersed into some beach art for a couple of hours.

Getting Kids off of computer games and into the great outdoors can be quite a challenge

There are some happy memories attached to each piece of art work we did together.

Enjoy!

Met Dr Geebers the Pebble Man today on Skegness Beach in Lincolnshire.

He’s building a formula one racing car out of beach pebbles on Skegness beach and it’s awesome!

Dr Geebers (his artistic name) is an artist that builds 3D sculptures out of pebbles on UK beaches and his story is inspiring.

The Pebble Man (as he is also known) is an homeless guy who has set himself the challenge of visiting UK beaches, bringing coastal communities a piece of his wonderful pebble art to enjoy for free and we were lucky enough to have him visit Skegness this very Bracing North East holiday resort in February!

Dr Geebers art is amazing, he’s a really interesting guy and his adventure is inspirational.

Heard this song on Raising Hope the TV show and thought it sounded fun.

Lyrics to ‘Do Wacka Do’ by Roger Miller Lyrics

Well I hear tell you’re doing well good things have come to you
I wish I had your happiness
And you had a do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do
They tell me you’re runnin’ free your days’re never blue
How I wish I had you good luck charm
And you had a do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do
Yeah I see you goin’ down the street in your big Cadillac
You got girls in the front you got girls in the back
Yeah and way in the back you got money in the sack
And both hands on the wheel and shoulders rared back rip-pip-du-aa
I hear tell you’re doing well…

It’s Comic Relief time once again in the UK which means doing something funny for money.

One of the best TV programs to watch on the BBC and help raise cash for comic relief has to be Lets Dance for Comic Relief.

Time to vote for the best celebrity dance performance and help raise some cash for Red Nose Day.

First Round Winner of Lets Dance for Comic Relief 2011 was British Comedian Russell Kane doing a very convincing Beyonce, Shaking his money maker for laughs.

Was Loving Russel Kane’s Performance of ‘Crazy in Love’, very funny! apparently he was dancing with the female band the pussy cat dolls, We didn’t even notice them Russel was so hypnotic.
