Smorgasbord Blog Magazine – Weekly Round Up – March 7th -13th 2021 – Free promotion, Petula Clark, Pigeons, Poetry, Anti-Aging, Frozen Shoulders and humour

Welcome to the round up of posts that you might have missed during the week here on Smorgasbord.

Before I get into the news and posts from the week.. I would like to just to share the link again to Debby Gies post this week in case you missed it. Her husband is in hospital again and as you will read has received some devastating news. Debby is as we know a warrior woman and is advocate and carer for her husband, a challenge under normal circumstances but further complicated by Covid restrictions. Let’s Have A Look – Our Medical System During Covid #Health and #Wellness

For the time being you will not see as much of her as we usually do ( I know how much she supports so many of us in the community). This month’s relationship column has been postponed until April and I am sure that you join me in wishing both Debby and her husband love and strength.

A mixed week on the home front with 100kph winds and lashing rain most of the week and they are still pretty fierce today and it is very cold, even if the sun is shining. I did manage to get out earlier in the week and have a bit of tidy in the garden and check on progress with the annuals.. The hydrangeas seem to be doing well and another six weeks should see all eight of the potted ones back in bloom…

Right outside my window the small clump of primroses has expanded and that too gives me hope that spring might at last be around the corner.

There is a lot of chatter going on in the hedges that surround our garden and by the amount of seed they are getting through I think it is safe to say that as far as they are concerned, despite the weather, there is courting to be done.

There is a new series for authors in the Cafe and Bookstore –  Share an Excerpt from a Previous Book starting in April and here is the post that tells you all about it. An opportunity to give an older book a bit of love and certainly useful to share an excerpt from the first book in a series etc. Anyway another bit of free book marketing that will just take a few minutes of your time to participate. Here is an example of how it will look the link: Smorgasbord Cafe and Bookstore – #Free #Bookmarketing – Share an Excerpt from a previous books 2021

Coming up on Monday morning is a full list of the current and upcoming promotions for you to take advantage of. Don’t forget it is free and all it takes is a little time to let me know your news… and to help spread the word when it has been promoted.

On my book front, Mary Crowley who is both an author and columnist for The Munster Express not only featured my latest book but wrote a wonderful review.. that was a huge boost to the week. She also kindly put on Goodreads too

Time to get on with the posts from the week.. and as always my thanks to William Price King, Debby Gies for the funnies (posted a couple of weeks ahead) and all of you who provide such amazing support each week for me and those that are promoted in the Cafe.

  1. Thank you so much Sally for your kind words. You know me, I love being in blogland. Mornings on phones with doctors, hospital, then phones at night. I’m bone tired. And when I can I’m happy to be here. And thanks for another wonderful week of which I hope to visit some of what I missed. ❤ xx

  2. I’m sorry to hear about Debby’s husband and their continued struggles with the hospital. It’s so hard to see a loved one struggling. Thanks for all you do, Sally. I’m hitting my second blogging anniversary on Monday.

  3. I just read Debby’s post and I am deeply saddened to hear about the struggles and difficulties that she and her husband are going through at the moment. My very best thoughts go out to them and I wish them the best. Aside from that, this was another super week, Sally, and a pleasure to have been a part of it. Hugs

  6. Love this, Sally, and all love to our Debby, whom I consider a true ray of sunshine and a delight to follow. You had me LOL with the ” sang on no one in Ireland, ever.” Good one! And, the collie, of course . Sometimes our one year old shepherd gets into that low to the ground stalking mode and I laugh every time! The hydrangeas look great, and congratulations on your book in the Munster paper!
