Roy, at Earthly Comforts https://earthlycomforts.uk/2022/10/29/question-time-over-coffee-2/ and I will answer his questions. What ways are you adopting to save on energy bills? I have a smart meter now and can tell when I am using the most energy. The air fryer tends to use less energy, so I will use that when I can. In theContinue reading “Now That’s a Question”

A New Beginning
Written for https://emkingston.wordpress.com/2022/10/28/e-m-s-rwp-314-junketeer/ Jacketless, I sit, holding sand in my palm, letting it drift through my fingers. What have I found out so far? That the person I was supposed to trust all the way through my investigation, has now been deemed a liar. Someone, who for the sake of power and privilege, took somethingContinue reading “A New Beginning”
Restart – Rewind
The word of the day from https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/category/word-of-the-day/ is alarm ‘Well, for a fire alarm, there isn’t much urgency is there – I mean fire, fire, there is a fire, in a calm tone doesn’t actually make me want to wake up.’ Terry said. ‘True, but at least I know when the toast is burnt,’ MelanieContinue reading “Restart – Rewind”
In The Dark
A chapter from my work in progress – In The Dark There is a hint of lemon cleaner still lingering on my table. It contrasts with the sweet chilli sauce I have just put on my chips. I pick one up, squashing it between my fingers, before I eat it in one go. Crackle, spit,Continue reading “In The Dark”
Politico – It’s an Opinion
Reena has given us her challenge this week, using the word Politico ‘It’s all so politico at the moment,’ David said. ‘Not heard of that word, what does it mean?’ His grandmother, not the typical person you would expect, would spend most of her time out of the house rather than in. To be fair,Continue reading “Politico – It’s an Opinion”
Costume Party
This week https://fromcavewalls.wordpress.com/author/magcindy/ has asked some spooky questions. 2. When was the last time you dressed in a costume? What was the reason? I went to a Halloween party held by my daughter’s friend’s mother. She always held a party. We would dress up for that. I was a witch, and my husband a werewolf.Continue reading “Costume Party”
Never Give In
One sentence for https://lindaghill.com/2022/10/26/one-liner-wednesday-its-a-night/ Failure is only failure, when you don’t try in the first place.
Blind Date
Have you ever made a decision on a whim that turned out to change your life? If so, what was that life-changing decision? Can you imagine what your life would be like if you hadn’t made that decision? I don’t tend to make decisions without thinking about it carefully first. I reckon one decision would be goingContinue reading “Blind Date”
Dinner for Two
I have written this short story for https://fivedotoh.com/2022/10/25/fowc-with-fandango-insubstantial/ An insubstantial meal for a person, but he always shared with his dog. With the pound in his plastic container, he got a free coffee, from Costa, and a pack of out-of-date chicken to eat with his dog Mitch. Many looked at him with disgust in theirContinue reading “Dinner for Two”
On-line
My question from https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2022/10/25/truthful-tuesday-25th-october/ Would you like to be a child growing up in today’s world? No, I wouldn’t because as bad as growing up in the eighties was, at least my mistakes weren’t there for all to see. Most teenagers, some younger, will have a mobile phone. They aren’t allowed in schools, but thenContinue reading “On-line”
