Ringing in my Ears

1. What is a humdinger? It is a bell ringer’s way of showing they are going to do some fancy footwork, while they are bellringing. It is to get the other bell ringers away, so they don’t hurt each other. 2. What is Hopscotch? It is a type of dance, which a bell ringer willContinue reading “Ringing in my Ears”

Terra Firma

The RagTag prompt today is cruise and I can think of nothing worse than spending my holiday surrounded by water. I’m not that great at swimming, and I would be afraid of drowning. I know that is a stupid fear, but it is the same as being afraid of mice. They cannot harm me, butContinue reading “Terra Firma”

Hibernation

It would be great if humans could hibernate in the winter, and wake up when the warmer weather is here. I’m not a big fan of winter. It is too cold to go out, and the heating is on nearly all the time. The cost of gas has gone up so much, I’m afraid forContinue reading “Hibernation”

Anxiety Rules

Statement

Taking her notepad out of her top pocket, Detective Samson faced a young man, just old enough to drive. Whatever he had to tell her was going to be long winded. She needed to take a statement about what happened at the bus stop. An elderly lady stood behind them, her hands wrapped around herContinue reading “Statement”

Daylight Saving Time

Assuming you agree that we should have the same time year-round rather than moving up an hour each spring and back an hour each fall, do you favour going to permanent Daylight Saving Time or permanent Standard Time? Why do you feel that way? I have thought, for a long time now, there is noContinue reading “Daylight Saving Time”

There’s Been A Murder

At first, I thought it was only the dog making noise, but when I went to investigate, I saw that it was something more. He barked at anything; the pigeon, our neighbour’s cat, and a leaf falling off the apple tree outside. We learnt to zone out his yelping, but he wouldn’t quit. Armed withContinue reading “There’s Been A Murder”
