Vacations

When at the ocean, do you want to be in it, on it, or just look at it? (If you don’t like visiting the ocean, what is a hobby you enjoy on vacation or in general?) I like sitting on the beach, in a deckchair, reading a book. Although this year I will probably beContinue reading “Vacations”

It’s a Dog’s Life

A dog’s devotion to mankind is well known. They will protect their owners, give them all their love, and only expect love in return. Even when they don’t have love, they will still be loyal to those around them. I’ve not always loved dogs. When I was a child, I was frightened of them, butContinue reading “It’s a Dog’s Life”

A pulse ran through the forest and out through the canopy of trees. Light, at its brightest here, the Wimba tree, wide leaves, and the lightest of trunks. Reaching towards the sun in a bid to grow tall. A flight of parrots, soared above the canopy, their colourful flight illuminating the sun’s rays even further.Continue reading “https://fivedotoh.com/2022/04/03/fowc-with-fandango-pulse/”

Energize

Inspired by Fandango and Wordle. As the mists of dawn awoke the quiet, sleeping birds stretched the tips of their wings, a sang their first song. Energized, they whirred into the sky, their wings shouldered against the brazen breeze. Another beautiful day, even when if it was raining. Dew dripped off the long stems ofContinue reading “Energize”

When I Was a Child

Looking back now, would you say you were a good, fair, or struggling student? I was a fair student, who struggled because I was bullied. I don’t think I ever reached my potential because I was too worried about being called names and followed home from school. I passed my GCSE in English a coupleContinue reading “When I Was a Child”

Forgotten

A steady stream of celebrities used to cross this bridge, but now it is empty and alone. Its red carpet gone, now it remembered the times when they could spout the names. Tony Blackburn, Phil Tufnell, Joe Pasqaule, Carol Thatcher, and so many more. The laughter, the sunshine, everyone in good spirits. There were fireworksContinue reading “Forgotten”

Granted

asked us to list 5 things that you sometimes (or always) take for granted. Before COVID, we took seeing our family for granted. During lockdown, and having my daughter just down the road, and not being able to see her was horrible. We missed out on so much growing up of my granddaughter. Going to theContinue reading “Granted”

Great British Weather

Another chance to read my post, couldn’t find a February https://fivedotoh.com/2023/02/10/fandangos-flashback-friday-february-10th/ English weather can be quite fickle at times, and we are not adverse to having snow in the afternoon, followed by sun a few hours later. I have had a barbecue in February because it was twenty five degrees. Saturday it was 18 degrees,Continue reading “Great British Weather”

It’s a Matter of Ethics

Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right to do, and what is right to do. Social media can be a brilliant place to be. A chance to keep in contact with loved ones and friends, even though you are not living near each other. However, the other side to that, isContinue reading “It’s a Matter of Ethics”
