I was in the kid’s section of the library when my friend Rosey strolled around the corner. She asked what I was after. ‘Dahl books’, I said.
Ever helpful, she suggested I try the science section because those books are really dull.
‘No, books by Roald Dahl,’ I said.
She said her favourite of his is The Twit! Can’t think why!
She wanted a book on French Cuisine. ‘Look in the Quizzing section,’ I said. She thought for a moment, pulled a face then punched my shoulder!
I’ve just had a text inviting me round to try her ‘cockinavan’. I can’t wait!

Thanks to Rochelle for hosting and to Ted Strutz for the picture.

There are lots more Rosey stories here –
Love your word play.
I’m pleased! Thanks, Sadje.
You’re welcome
Nice way with words. Having never before heard of “the Twits’, I looked it up. It has even been made into a movie.
Nor had I before yesterday – I left the ‘s’ off for dramatic effect!
Nice puns
Thanks, Neil.
You had me laughing again, Keith. Roald Dahl and his sidekick, Quentin Blake, two of my favorite children’s books creators.
They are both brilliant. Delighted to have amused you, Lisa!
Hahaha! Too much fun!
There’s nothing like a fun overload!
Welll… 😉
Nahh.. you’re right!
Worthy of Dahl himself.
Wow, unlike Dahl I’m lost for words!
Keith, the ever clever friend of rocking Rosie, plays the best game with words. Well done, Sir.
They’re the perfect double act! Thanks, Bill.
You’re welcome, Keith.
Whatever she cooks up, it will be an adventure.
Her kitchen exploits have given me plenty to write about over the years!
Good fun here Keith 😀
I’m pleased you like it, thank you.
Fun word play, Keith – I love your Rosey stories. I wouldn’t mind trying some Cockinavan!
It wasn’t as bad as she made it sound! Can’t beat a dish of coq au vin!
Being as I’m doing dry January, anything with the word ‘vin’ makes me salivate!
You have an impressive way with words
That’s really kind of you, thanks.
I trust it was tasty?
Surprisingly, it was!
Interesting play of words!
Not a ‘Dahl’ moment!
Never when Rosey’s around! Thanks, Anita.
Fun story.. I have to read the story by Dahl now..
Kid’s stories that even adults enjoy!
Great.. on my list now
Dear Keith,
Rosey always leaves us smiling. I have to say that this wouldn’t have been nearly as effective if you hadn’t recorded it. Love it.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Me too Rochelle! I’m a fairly recent convert to recording my stories and I did it as a result of listening to your audios and a couple of others. It brings an extra dimension to the written piece.
Lots of fun here, although I am not sure that Rosey has used her French Cooking book, I wonder what she is up to. Enjoy your meal on wheels (in the van).
I think he found the French dishes too difficult to understand let alone pronounce! Hopefully, I’ll get chicken in wine not a meal on wheels!
So much to like in this pair’s banter – lovely, warm story.
Thanks so much for your kind words Jilly.
interesting
She keeps me amused!
A whimsical write that always seems to include Rosey. She’s a fun gal.
I enjoyed your reading of the story. Mmmm … I understood you perfectly.
You have a very nice accent. Have a wonderful weekend …

If ever I’m stuck for a story, I make a beeline for Rosey, she’s so easy to write about! I’ll try to catch you out with a different accent one day!
HA HA I do have a good ear for accents.
Rosey is awesome. 🤩 a real super star.😊
I hope she reads this!
That can’t end well. Disaster in the kitchen 🙂
simply not a ‘dahl’ story. truly enjoyed it. 🙂
Rosie is always fun, and your word play really hit the mark 🙂
Very entertaining as always, Keith! 🙂
How did you know we’re cooking up dahl and rice for dinner? I love quizzing too!!
Ha Ha! This was utterly too much fun! 🙂
Great fun. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Ouch, the puns! That was great fun, and Rosey as animated gif, no less. 🙂
Never a dull moment with Rosey. That was fun.
What fun! Cockinavan! Hmm,,,a very cocky response, Keith
Never a “dahl” moment, indeed. I am not going to comment on that last joke though, except to say yummy chicken dinner, I hope? Always fun time when I drop by.
I thought sure she’d send you to the craft section to learn how to make a doll! I loved this!
