Happy People Good Karma Blog

I’ve been busy making videos of the beach race I took last weekend.

It takes ages to sort out, edit, re size and make a video, been swamped I took over 1,000 picture over the two days of motocross racing.

Was out shopping and spotted Pudsey Bear outside Greg the Bakers raising money for children in need.

Popped across the road and had our pictures took with the lovable children in need mascot, Pudsey.

It cheered me up, I was out shopping for clothes and shoes for my son, nothing worse than shoe shopping, in fact I hate shopping full stop, I know unusual behaviour for a woman .

Seeing Pudsey Bear made my day

Happy Bonfire Night

For all those who are unfamiliar with what Bonfire Night is, it’s an English Celebration that happens every year on 5th November to commemorate the failed terrorist plot to blow up the houses of parliament in 1605 by Guy Fawkes.

Guy Fawkes came to a bitter end when he was burned to death for his treasonous act in trying to kill the King.

Every year on the 5th of November people make bonfires in their back yards or go to organised events.

It’s the tradition to burn an effigy of either Guy Fawkes or of someone who might not be popular like politicians on top of your bonfire, but very few people still burn a Guy on there bonfires anymore, some still do and if you go to a organised bonfire then there is usually one on top.

I’m a fan of BBC Proms and this year they had for the very first time the comedy proms hosted by the comedian Tim Minchin who composed some very funny pieces of music.

One of my favourites was the F sharp song

Also loved the appearance of the Beardy Man whom I love, wish he would come to my town to perform ‘Cough, Skegness, cough’

And a short sketch by The Boy with Tape on his Face which I thought was brilliant.

I didn’t get the comedy aimed at the upper classes, personally didn’t find it funny but it does go to show that the BBC comedy Proms has something for everyone

Just came home from our walk on a fun high

My hubby came up with a great game to play while we were on our usual daily walk, he suggested singing 99 bottles of beer on the wall but with a twist just before you get to the next set of bottles to sing you have to think of an action to do.

Example: take it in turns to sing 99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer, knock one off and what have you got (do an action like hope on one foot) 98 bottles of beer on the wall. Then the next person sings there line 98 Bottle …..

I love Halloween it’s my favourite time of the year but this year I thought I had to miss out.

I had loads of plans for a fun filled week but I have caught a cold and I sprained my neck, shoulder, back and arm by sleeping funny, so there is was to be no pumpkin carving, dancing or fun of any description for me this year

I was really upset at the idea of doing nothing for halloween, all the fun I had planned would have to wait for another year, but my hubby came to the rescue and took me out for a slow walk around town dressed in our halloween costumes

We went to a fireworks display at the theme park Fantasy Island in Skegness, we got two free firework displays straight after the fireworks at Fantasy Island Butlins let there’s off which was awesome, I Love Fireworks.

While we were at Fantasy Island we decided to take long exposure photographs of the rides.

I made a video of all the long exposure pictures we’ve done so far.

We had everything against us when we got to Fantasy Island the rides were closed for the fireworks, then they opened up again but to our surprise very few of the rides had lights on them, the roller coaster was in total darkness which was a bummer, my hubby got a bad back from standing around and then it started to rain.
