...is what I speak. It describes what I actually say (nonsense, mostly) and how I say it (ie my accent, which is a mixture of all sorts - a bit of North of England, a bit of Irish, a bit of South West England, a lot of just me!) The word comes from my name, Mel, and the fact that I'm one-quarter Welsh. But there's not actually any Welsh in my accent. Go figure...

Like your action shot! DH is reading the same over here - suspect it'll be a while before he's done!
Throwing the ducks is always good in my book. Throwing penguins is even better :)
