New Fangled

This week’s one liner from https://reinventionsreena.wordpress.com/2022/10/20/reenas-xploration-challenge-253/ reminded me of something Mum said when she got a set of cordless phones.

At Your Disposal

Would you consider a green burial if it were legal where you live? is a question from https://fivedotoh.com/2022/10/19/fandangos-provocative-question-186/. My answer is I’m not sure.

Comfort Food

The word soup from https://weeklyprompts.com/2022/10/19/weekly-prompts-wednesday-challenge-soup/ and it the perfect word for winter. I love a good soup. Whether it be the homemade kind or the type you buy in a tin. My daughter makes the best tomato soup (Slimming world style) and you can’t tell the difference between that and tinned. The only difference isContinue reading “Comfort Food”
