Maggie, at From Cave Walls, and Lauren, at LSS Attitude of Gratitude, alternate hosting Throwback Thursday. This is my take on their questions. Who in your family was the person who made and enforced rules? It was a joint effort with Mum and Dad, however Mum was the person who would smack me if I wasContinue reading “Throwback Thursday”

Grannie
Going to college at the age of seventy seemed a little silly to her grandchildren at first. What on earth was she going to do? Pass an English GCSE? What would be the point in that? She didn’t work, so didn’t need to prove anything. ‘I’m going to take up painting again,’ she said. ‘Painting?’Continue reading “Grannie”
Sharing My World
A few more questions from Melanie’s Share Your World. QUESTIONS Do you ever feel more excited about getting the package in the mail, rather than the item that’s in it? I don’t get excited about getting a package in the mail normally because they’re normally a bill. We rarely get letters these days. Although near myContinue reading “Sharing My World”

GC and Sue W are our hosts for this weekly word challenge. Recycling was getting more complicated as the years went on. Sarah thought it was a matter of all plastics going in one bin, but it had to be a certain type of plastic, and clean of any debris. It was her little boy,Continue reading “https://weeklyprompts.com/2022/08/03/weekly-prompts-wednesday-challenge-cycling/”
Hot Flush
Our word of the day from https://fivedotoh.com/2022/08/03/fowc-with-fandango-flush/ is flush. Anne held her cards like they were in a vice, she had to keep it cool, not show any emotion, otherwise the rest of the players would know she had a good hand. However, at her age, it was difficult to keep cool, especially as everyContinue reading “Hot Flush”
Marriage Proposal
Your love a blank canvass, asking me that question, to marry, or not to marry you. The question is do I love you enough to spend the rest of my life with you.
Pro Choice
The question from Melanie, of Sparks from a Combustible Mind is about birth control. Back in the forties, before birth control was used, women had no control on their bodies. When they were pregnant, which happened often (big families were common then) they had no choice but to go ahead with the pregnancy. Abortion wasn’tContinue reading “Pro Choice”

Leaving Home
Written for https://fivedotoh.com/2022/08/01/fandangos-flash-fiction-challenge-179/ ‘It only seems like yesterday we were taking the training wheels off your bike,’ Terry’s mum said. Helping sort out the boxes, it was her way of staying close to her daughter. So grown up, it didn’t seem possible she was moving in with her boyfriend. She hadn’t even got the weddingContinue reading “Leaving Home”
Amateur Writer
#blogging insights has given us this food for thought. I agree in the most part, many of the writers on Word press, are amateur writers, who didn’t quit. They write most days, and learn from the feedback they get off other writers. About ten years ago, I wrote my first book, and was definitely anContinue reading “Amateur Writer”
