Memories

This week’s questions from https://lssattitudeofgratitude.wordpress.com/2022/10/13/throwback-thursday-59-no-one-else-would-know/ are about family 1) Did you have multiple family generations nearby when growing up? I never knew my grandparents, as I was born when my parents were older (my dad was fifty, and Mum Thirty-Eight) I had many aunts and uncles, mostly from Mum’s side. I only met some ofContinue reading “Memories”

A Day of Curious Training

PROMPT #252 There is no restriction on format of our work. https://reinventionsreena.wordpress.com/2022/10/13/reenas-xploration-challenge-252/ could seem a bit weird, odd, and causing chaos. But I love the different viewpoints of one picture. ‘What’s a little chaos?’ Tom said, as he sent an email to all his staff. ‘Don’t you think it’s a little weird, dressing in costumesContinue reading “A Day of Curious Training”

Film Night

This week from https://girlieontheedge1.wordpress.com/2022/10/09/sundays-six-sentence-story-word-prompt-233/ and our prompt is to write six sentences including film. ‘What film to do you want to watch tonight?’ Steve rifled through the video tapes on the shelf, not even sure what he wanted to watch, but as usual the television had the same old shows. He needed something upbeat, orContinue reading “Film Night”

The Power of Three

My hope was that I posted a picture a day for October, but as ever life got in the way. On Tuesday I went to my Slimming world meeting and didn’t get home until eight o’clock. By the time we had dinner it was nearly nine. I did one post, but my eyes were droopingContinue reading “The Power of Three”

Out of Hours

This week’s question from https://sparksfromacombustiblemind.wordpress.com/2022/10/11/truthful-tuesday-10-11-2022/ is about her pet peeve, being compelled to answer the phone or door. How polite do you find it to ignore the doorbell and/or the phone, especially if you’ve just begun to eat dinner or want to just veg out all by your lonesome? Why do we feel obligated toContinue reading “Out of Hours”

The Way Home

This week https://fivedotoh.com/2022/10/10/fandangos-flash-fiction-challenge-188/ Standing at the brink of success or failure, Tom stopped in the middle of the clearing. The autumn leaves littered the ground, in a crazy paving of colour. He loved being here, never felt like he was alone. Amongst the constant chatter of the birds, speaking to each other, he felt aContinue reading “The Way Home”

Blindsided

https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/what-do-you-see/ and this is my interpretation of their prompt. Walking through the darkness, and the couple in front of me are mere shadows against the fog. It is like someone has taken a paintbrush and is slowly erasing the light. In two months, I won’t be able to see anything. There may be some light,Continue reading “Blindsided”

Pumpkins – October 9

Today’s picture is of some pumpkins I knitted a few years ago. When my granddaughter was born nearly three years ago, I decided I should start knitting. I since found out the only things I can knit well are blankets. I first knitted Christmas decorations, as at the time my dog tended to eat anything,Continue reading “Pumpkins – October 9”

Alone

For this week’s prompt from https://weeklyprompts.com/2022/10/08/weekly-prompts-weekend-challenge-alone/ Where are you? Hours ago, or it seems like hours, you went into that funny little room I’m not allowed in. You take in a book, shut the door, and I wait outside for you to return. I don’t even know if you are going to return My headContinue reading “Alone”
