This week from https://christinebialczak.com/2023/04/18/simply-6-minutes-welcome-to-the-challenge-04-18-2023/ A tiny shoot of hope, growing where an old key used to open the cell. Now, zoos were banned, plants were pushing through the rust, growing into something beautiful. He hardly wanted to touch the ancient lock. Why would he want to destroy life? Yet, he couldn’t let the jail remain.Continue reading “New Shoot”

Sharing my World
Written for https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2023/04/17/share-your-world-17th-april/ 1. Do you have a special talent (ie music, art, singing, dress making, pottery etc). I have a talent for writing, (hopefully). I was eight when I started writing, and don’t think I will stop until I can no longer type or write. I cannot sing, I am more than tone deaf.Continue reading “Sharing my World”

First Love
Written in response to the question https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2023/04/16/sunday-confessionals-fleeting Something I thought would last forever, but faded over time. As a teenager, you think your first love will last forever, but fades over time. The first time I ”fell in love” I was fourteen.

Sentiment
Written for http://earthlycomforts.uk/2023/04/15/the-garden-dawdler-4/ Are you utterly minimalistic in your lifestyle, an absolute clutterer hoarder, or just messy? I am not any good in throwing things away, neither is my husband. If it belonged to someone else, it holds a great deal of sentiment. Do you prefer to sit on a chair, cushion, bench, floor orContinue reading “Sentiment”
Book Review – Dead Embers
Another book, from my second hand haul from Tesco. A charity bookcase, where avid readers can swap books, while giving money for charity. I would love to buy new books, but sometimes the forgotten reads can be just as good. Dead Embers starts with the homicide of two detectives (husband and wife). Their three yearContinue reading “Book Review – Dead Embers”
Best Friends
Written for https://reinventionsreena.wordpress.com/2023/04/13/reenas-xploration-challenge-276/ ‘I’m stuck, what do I write next B Bot?’ ‘I am not sure I understand the question.’ B Bot sat on the floor, next to his friend Stephen, his computer cells whirring. He would never understand a human. Writing, wasn’t that copying what you had read before. He read many things, couldContinue reading “Best Friends”

Written in response https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2023/04/11/truthful-tuesday-11th-april/ and their question, do I think Easter is a commercialised as Christmas. Yes, it has always been commercial though, even when I was a girl, I looked forward to the Easter Eggs, more than I did the reason behind the celebration. I was brought up in a Christian home, went toContinue reading “Easter”
Bucket and Cloth
This week from https://girlieontheedge1.wordpress.com/2023/04/09/sundays-six-sentence-story-word-prompt-257/ Toby had many jobs over the years. When he was in university he worked as a valet, although that wasn’t quite his role. More like he stood at the kerbside with a bucket and a cloth, asking if they wanted their window screens washed. It wasn’t the greatest job. Although heContinue reading “Bucket and Cloth”
