Come Fly Away

Finally got my new mobile broadband up and running but just when I am about to take off to New Zealand for two weeks. Looking forward to spending time with my family and the rest will be welcome after the last rather stressful two weeks.   Actually it’s been stressful for about a month but the last two weeks have been the most difficult.

Upon my return I shall give this place a bit of a clean up and see where I am in life.

Loving my new home it is a delight though I haven’t had much time to enjoy it nor take any walks along the beach.

No time for more, just that I will be back on a more permanent basis soon and I will see if I can take any lovely pics of New Zealand to make you all jealous.

Take care of each other

Out with the old…in with the new.

Tomorrow I move into my new place…actually it is today since it is  now 2:30am.  Have finally finished all the packing and am ready for the final push.  Really looking forward to this, but I am very tired since I am doing the bulk of it myself.

After this post I will be offline for at least three days, though it could be longer depending on how long it takes to get my new broadband service up and running.

As to my spanking life, well that is on hold for now.  I have said goodbye to F, for various reasons, as things were not heading in the direction I wanted and I don’ t believe they ever would.  So, as another friend said to me, “On to the next frog”.   I admit I will not be actively looking for some time as I have a lot to organise myself first and I have realised whilst I am happy to date I am not interested in living with anybody.    Slow and steady….with plenty of spanking…of course.

I am sure I will have a wonderful and willing chap over my knee again at some point.   In the meantime I can get my imagination fired up and write more stories, as well as finish others I have begun…blush.

Off to sleep now and will see you all when I return to cyber world, but before I go, below is the picture of what our naughty brat receives once she has given the headmaster the fingers.

Yes, 6 out of 13 people guessed right, that the cane would be employed for this infraction.  Just look at their faces, these two are having far too much fun, the lucky devils!  Recidavist suggested she get strapped across the hands since she was giving a rude hand gesture.  He is quite right that would be veryappropriate and then the caning after…

Hugs and see you soon.

Quickie with a Poll Dance

How good is this picture, it always gives me a good chuckle, but you will have to wait till tomorrow to see what happens to this young lady.

I will be updating tomorrow night on where I am at and what is going on.   Some things in my life have gone, never to return, and other things will be starting anew.

Also there will be some down time as I get myself organised at my new place and then I can get back to checking out the regular blogs I visit.  Sorry for not getting around to them tonight but still packing and I have to get up in six hours.  I look forward to reading what is happening in everyone else’s lives.

So in the meantime what do you think should happen to a brat who gives Headmaster the fingers?

 

Uncertain

In case you were wondering why some aspects of this blog have gone private, it is due to a possible leak into the vanilla world.  If my suspicion is confirmed then I will remove all personal content and have a story blog only.  I doubt if anything as drastic as deleting the whole blog will be necessary.

All the best

Imagine II

Image Chef

Look what I found over at Spanked Hortic!

This man has great taste in blogs and since he’s sporting my tattoo he must love being spanked also.  Almost goes without saying really.

See! I told you. What’s a girl to do with such a request; such clear communication is not to be ignored.  I have a paddle just waiting for such a deserving bottom and there will be little mercy.

Whilst messing about on Image Chef, I noticed an advert for a personals dating site called Tattoo Lovers.  This might be a great place for ink enthusiasts to meet, especially for those with more extensive ink than is usual.  Now if they have a Spanking and Tattoo Lovers site, I might be interested.

 

Happy Easter

Easter Island

Wishing everyone a safe and happy Easter.  Here in Australia and New Zealand we get to have Good Friday and Easter Monday off work so our Easter really is a holiday or holy day depending on what you believe.

So, that means I have four days off work to eat chocolate.  Actually, as good as that sounds, I have packing to do.

Yes, that is right friends I am, finally, preparing for the big move into my own place.  I can’t begin to tell you how much I am looking forward to this.

My new home is a two bedroom delight about 100 metres or so from the beach and less than ten minutes walk to restaurants and shops.  Half an hour drive to work and closer to my friends; it has it all.

The spare room will be my gym so I can get back to more intense exercise and weight training…looking forward to that.  Walking a plenty with beach and walking tracks nearby.

It feels as though it has taken an eternity to get to this point, lots of heartache, tears, doubt, but I still believe this is for the best and what I must do.  Separation is not an easy thing, no matter how you go about it, and I don’t recommend living together during that process unless absolutely necessary.

All that aside the big day is looming and then shortly thereafter a trip to my homeland to see family, for what will be by then a well needed break.

So, as I said, a safe and happy Easter to you all.

 

Friends and thoughts…

Thanks to those who named me on the recent Friends Awards meme that went around.  I wasn’t ignoring anyone, just haven’t had a lot of time or energy for blogging.

So Bethie, PK and Radha, your mentions were definitely appreciated and you would certainly have been on mine had I not been such a party pooper.  You all remind me that this community is full of such intelligent and lovely women and I am honoured to number myself among you.

I came across a fantastic saying over at Green Rootsdown that struck a chord with me especially for what I am going through at the moment.

Don’t be concerned about being disloyal to your pain by being joyous.

There are times when I feel almost guilty for being happy, certainly guilty for wanting to find freedom and a more fulfilling life.  It is in my own head this guilt and something only I can deal with.   I do what I can and certainly try to find the best in the situation but sometimes the pain gets the better of me.  I prefer to be joyous, prefer to find happiness and peace in my daily life.  It is good to be reminded that finding joy doesn’t mean I haven’t felt the pain over the last 8 months of my separation or that it meant nothing but that it doesn’t have to hold me in thrall forever.    That it is okay to hurt but also okay to work past that and live again.

Lastly, I wanted to say good luck to Paul who will soon be going in for surgery on cataracts.  Thanks PK for letting us know.  I wish you all the best Paul and hope to see you again before long but only when you are well enough.

 

Sexy Southern Star

It’s official, Australians are less inhibited than our British counterparts.

A couple has been photographed ‘making out’ in the giant revolving observation wheel known as the Southern Star located in Melbourne, Australia.   The Southern Star is a similar concept to the giant wheel called the London Eye or Millennium Wheel found in UK, however the Southern Star is somewhat smaller and has less ‘pods’.

The Southern Star was opened on 20 December 2008 and the couple were photographed on 8 January 2009.  This means the Southern Star was ‘christened’ in under three weeks.  By comparison the Brits took approximately seven months to ‘road test’ their wheel.

What I find really strange is that some geeky photographer appeared to have been stalking the wheel in wait for this very thing.  I find it a little hard to believe this just happened whilst someone with a camera was about.    What a cynical thing I am, but I think this is possibly staged, which isn’t to say the couple’s physical affection wasn’t real but it’s all a little too coincidental for my liking.

Spank me, beat me, anyway you want me…

A friend and I were recently discussing spanking, no surprise there I imagine, and he used the word ‘beat’ in place of spank.    Strangely enough I find the word quite harsh.  I don’t think of it as beating someone, though he pointed out it was still correct.

I suppose beat seems like something you would do to someone as a cruelty, something that is non-consensual rather than related to a mutually agreed activity.  Of course that isn’t the case since it is just a word.  Yet, it is interesting how different words can have a differing affect on the psyche.

To help me with this issue my friend sent me various other words I might use instead of beat and some of them gave me a good chuckle.

Synonyms: belt, blip, box, buffet, cane, chastise, clobber, clout, cuff, flax, flog, hide, larrup*, lash, lather*, leather*, lick, paddle, punch, punish, put over one’s knee, smack, sock, tan*, tan one’s hide, thrash, trim, wallop, welt, whip, whup

Watch out boys or I might ‘blip’ you!  Don’t think too many would be scared of that.  Chastise is nice though.

 

Happy Australia Day

Happy Australia Day to those who inhabit her shores and to those expatriates wishing they were on her shores.

In 1788 the First Fleet trotted into Sydney Cove, raised a flag in the name of King George and decided this looked like a fine place for a penal colony.

221 years on and ‘Foundation Day’ is now celebrated throughout all Australian States and Territories as Australia Day on 26th January.  How do we celebrate this auspicious day?

We have a barbie with the family and play cricket.  Okay, so there is a bit more to it than that but a lot of people do that too.

As is to be expected there are awards for the Order of Australia and Australian of the year as well as an address by our Prime Minister.  Each city puts on various events and people flock there to take part and hope for a glimpse of the fireworks once night has fallen.

I will be celebrating with a day in the sun, snags on the barbie and a couple of glasses of champagne but, alas, no cricket.

However you choose to celebrate today, be safe, have fun and enjoy your day.
