HIVE JIVE: Billy Holiday - No Good Man

No good man
Lovin' all the no good things
Never treats me as he should
That ain't no good
He's always bringing me down
He's no saint
Heaven knows thats what he ain't
Spends his money foolishly
Not on me
I'm the one who gets the run-around

I ought to hate him and yet I love him so
For I require
Love that's made of fire
And in his arms
I find
I always get that kind
No good man
Ever since the world began
There have been other fools like me
Born to be
In love with a no good man

Ladies Who BBQ


These walnut cakes looked so delicious but we only managed to taster a small piece after stuffing our faces with BBQ food, which we didn't even finish in the end. We could have fed a small army. The walnut cake was however VERY delicious. If my stomach would have allowed it, more would have been consumed for sure.


Gorgeous little fire starter







 These scrumptious looking veggie delights were my little contribution to the beautiful food display my friend Rechenda put together. "The phrase hostess with the mostess" was coined because of such efforts. Love it! 

Courgette, aubergine, red pepper and halloumi kebabs









 Raspberry had to join in the food munching with his special biscuits :)

So Rechenda's BBQ with the girls was a brilliant end to an awesome weekend. We managed to have a little time outside before it started to pour with rain. Of course there is a rainbow at the end of a shower. We all jumped in the car and headed for hot chocolates, mochas and green teas at Isaacs.

HIVE JIVE: Billy Holiday - Weep No More

I'm just about fed up
I've finally had my fill
Of sitting around and crying in my beer
I've drunk the bitter cup
I've downed the bitter pill
While waiting for the silver lining to appear

I'm going to stack my blues up
On the very highest shelf
I'm going to pack my blues up
And get wise to myself

(Weep no more, my baby)
(Weep no more, my baby)
Weep no more
I'm going to weep no more
I'm putting an end to this lonesome game
(It's such a lonesome game this crying)

Cry no tears, I'm going to cry no tears
Each time that I happen to hear his name
(I hear his name)
I'm going out on the town
This hopeless torch I will drown
'Cause I'm tired of running around
(Running around)
With just a memory
Weep no more, I'm going to weep no more
Till somebody weeps
(Until somebody weeps) For me
