Adele

Written in response to https://fivedotoh.com/2023/01/30/fowc-with-fandango-dominant/ Adele, or Mary, as her master called her, loved cooking the daily meal. A slave, being in the kitchen was a much better job, although, when they had a dinner party, she would be on her feet from six in the morning to gone past midnight. A long day, butContinue reading “Adele”

All Her Fault – Book Review

Before I give my review for ”All Her Fault”, I want to praise the cover. Reading in between the lines (WHEN THE WORST HAPPENS THERE’S ALWAYS SOMEONE TO BLAME) You get the feeling that the author ”Andrea Mara”, is informing her audience that women would automatically get the blame when something goes wrong. As aContinue reading “All Her Fault – Book Review”

Shriek

Shriek, she heard it alright. It was from the woods, where during the day, everything was silent. Tonight, it was different. The hairs on her legs and arms were rigid, as she turned her ears to the source of the sound. Nose on the ground, I sniffed, pulling her owner through brambles. She wasn’t happy,Continue reading “Shriek”

Acts of Kindness

Another blogger https://sillyfrogsusan.com/author/sillyfrogsusan/ told us about a memory where a elderly woman was handing out roses, and kindness. I think that is something we are all capable of. Smiling at someone, and it is infectious. Hopefully that smile will be passed along, making their day better. There have been days when I couldn’t find theContinue reading “Acts of Kindness”

Far Too Many Books

A piece of prose for https://lindaghill.com/2023/01/27/the-friday-reminder-for-socs-jusjojan-2023-daily-prompt-jan-28th/. The prompt words ”Throw in the towel.” ‘I’m not giving up, or throwing in any towel, I must finish what I started,’ David said, looking at the book shelf. Yes, it was a little wonky, but there must be something he could do. Even if it was to takeContinue reading “Far Too Many Books”

Dreams

Written for https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2023/01/23/share-your-world-23rd-january/  Do you find it relatively easy to fall asleep at night? Most nights, I find it easy to sleep. Working during the day helps, and by the time it is eleven I find myself falling asleep on the sofa, with my husband telling me I need to go to bed.  Do youContinue reading “Dreams”

Surprise Birthday

Written in response to https://willowdot21.wordpress.com/2023/01/26/daily-prompt-jusjojan-the-26th-2023/ and family. ‘Stay quiet,’ Charlotte said, putting her finger to her lips. A family gathering, but with the main guest missing. It wasn’t quite a surprise, not really. Her husband thought he was going for a pub lunch, but she was never quite good at keeping secrets. Private messages, aContinue reading “Surprise Birthday”

DIY

Written for https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2023/01/24/truthful-tuesday-24th-january/ My house, and it was owned by someone, who liked to do all the DIY himself. He put a false ceiling up to hide the fact he made holes in a good ceiling. I’m still not sure why. I don’t trust myself to DIY, I haven’t got any skills in that field,Continue reading “DIY”
