Written in response to https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2022/11/18/fibbing-friday-18th-november/ 1. Why do we say it’s raining cats and dogs? Because cats and dogs don’t like being wet. 2. What is meant by ‘The elephant in the room?’ It is a version of Cluedo, where the elephant is the killer in the zoo. 3. What is downsizing? When you loseContinue reading “Fibs on a Friday”

Unlocking Minds

Written in response https://reinventionsreena.wordpress.com/2022/11/17/reenas-xploration-challenge-257-2/ Break times, in the factory, could be torture for some and a time to read for others. Locked minds felt bored. There was nothing they could do but ponder on what had gone wrong in their shift. Bob, scrunching his eyes, thought about what he would do if he won theContinue reading “Unlocking Minds”

This Time Next Year

Written for https://fivedotoh.com/2022/11/16/fandangos-provocative-question-190/ It is something I don’t think will ever happen. You just won a giant lottery jackpot. What are the first three things you’re going to do with the money you won? I have been doing the National lottery in the UK but stopped and changed to the postcode lottery instead. I haven’tContinue reading “This Time Next Year”

Migraine

For https://girlieontheedge1.wordpress.com/2022/11/16/its-thursdays-six-sentence-story-link-up-12/ our PROMPT WORD is ETERNAL. Anyone, who suffers with migraines, understands the eternal pain that goes with it. Sometimes, like today, I get warning.

Thank You

Written in response to https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/what-do-you-see/. We have a lot to be thankful for. A silent prayer, thanking for all the good in his life, Simon held his hands together in thanks. A roof over his head, a great family, friends and life. Sometimes it wasn’t perfect, but then he was lucky. A man, outside theContinue reading “Thank You”

Sharing My World

1.   Does the weather affect your mood? No, not really. I live in the UK, where we get a lot of rain. I would be permanently depressed if that was the case. There is something familiar about being in the rain, jumping in puddles, that makes me feel at home. It is great when youContinue reading “Sharing My World”

Disco Dancing

Written in response https://sillyfrogsusan.com/2022/11/14/five-word-weekly-challenge-leaving-your-mark/ In her wardrobe, in various colours, were jumpsuits. She never quite got over the seventies fog, and it had been a while since she wore them. Her school reunion seemed a great time to use them. The only barrier, she wasn’t sure if they would fit. Laying on the bed, sheContinue reading “Disco Dancing”

Help?

The https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/my-question/ is about asking for help I don’t ask for help, even when I need it. Mostly because I was brought up to be independent and do things for myself. I hate asking, especially when I have geared myself for the answer. No. I am even more embarrassed when the answer is no. IContinue reading “Help?”
