Diets

This week’s prompt from https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2022/06/25/saturday-swapit-25/ is talking about diets. Growing up I never had a problem with weight. I could eat what I wanted and never really put on any weight. When I was at the post office, and cycling everywhere, I could eat whatever I wanted, but the moment the exercise stopped, I becameContinue reading “Diets”

Robbery

Fandango’s word of the day is robbery https://fivedotoh.com/2022/06/26/fowc-with-fandango-robbery/. Driving up to the petrol pump was always a bit of a surprise these days. Scarlet was almost afraid to look up at the price. Only months ago it was one pound forty-five, now, a few months later, it was nearly two pounds. Robbery, and they didContinue reading “Robbery”

Beautiful

In a hundred words or less https://rochellewisoff.com/ has given us this picture prompt. Clive leans against his wooden stick, and wanders back to the day Mary became his wife. He couldn’t keep it. They didn’t have a daughter – not any more. She never did see her second birthday. The shop assistant stepped through theContinue reading “Beautiful”

Brevity

Sammiscribbles.wordpress.com and my poem in twelve words. To give Brevity, some levity, keep it short, give it some thought..

On The Spectrum

‘It’s called the insight, and not many people have it.’ Sarah didn’t expect it, not from her therapist, but she seemed to understand. When she told her of her dreams, in glorious technicolour, she wasn’t surprised. Sitting on her red couch, looking around an office full of cushions. Yellow, green, blue. Picture frames with allContinue reading “On The Spectrum”

Fibbing Friday Fibs

This week from https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/author/pensitivity101/ has no theme at all and just a mish mash of silly questions inviting you to give sillier answers. 1. What is liquid gold? A whisky and lemonade with lots of ice. Just the thing after a long day at work. 2. What is housemaid’s knee? It is a painting inContinue reading “Fibbing Friday Fibs”

Deer in Peril

For her prompt today, I hide as my mother taught me to do. https://crispinakemp.com/2022/06/22/crimsons-creative-challenge-189/ has posted the picture of a deer. Humans aren’t to be trusted, their guns ripping through the undergrowth against us. They hunt, stalk and never leave us alone. We cannot survive if we don’t have a sense of security. I don’tContinue reading “Deer in Peril”

The Old Girls Network

Today’s prompt from https://chellebcom2.wordpress.com/author/chellebee53/ is investigation. ‘Don’t you know that in any investigation you should listen to the little old lady and her theories?’ Detective Davidson said, looking down at the dead body.’ A little shocked, her colleague wasn’t sure what was meant by that, but he wasn’t about to get advice off a woman oldContinue reading “The Old Girls Network”

Fireworks

This week’s prompt from https://lssattitudeofgratitude.wordpress.com/2022/06/23/throwback-thursday-44-fireworks-celebrations/ is: Fireworks Celebrations 1) What are your earliest memories of watching fireworks? We used to go to firework displays, rather than having them at home. I haven’t really got a childhood memory of them, as my mum wasn’t too keen. She got chased by a Catherine Wheel, when it wasn’t attachedContinue reading “Fireworks”

You Are Not Alone

Written for ”Word of the Day Challenge”. ‘No matter how bad things seem now, memories fade,’ her best friend, Sarah said. It wasn’t the memories Laura was worried about, but the texts, her so called friends had sent. To make things worse, they had flooded Tic-toc with memes, and now everyone had seen her cry.Continue reading “You Are Not Alone”
