For Word of the Day

The Word of The Day is PISMIRE. “The whole situation is a blooming pismire,” James said, his voice raised several octaves higher. This was the tenth meeting of the brewery’s budget for the next year and they were no further in saving any money. “I don’t hear you come up with anyway of being able toContinue reading “For Word of the Day”

Throwback Thursday #24 – Commercials and Jingles

Thank you Maggie for your brilliant prompts. There have been times when commercials have been better than the actual films and series on television. Especially in the summer, where producers don’t even care and will put on repeat, after repeat, after repeat. One of my favourite commercials is the instant mash – Aliens laughing asContinue reading “Throwback Thursday #24 – Commercials and Jingles”

A Little Bit of Love

Grannie’s was always her favourite place to go on the weekend when it was raining outside. In the cupboard under the stairs there was a plain cardboard box. Inside, there was a treasure trove of fun. Along with a selection of board games, which weren’t even plugged into the mains, there were puzzles, colouring books,Continue reading “A Little Bit of Love”

#FPQ – Where Will I Be?

Fandango asks, where will we be in five years. In five years I will be over sixty, and cannot see me working where I am past that age. I have a really good pension from when I worked at Royal Mail, when I reach 60. I would like to be able to retire, and concentrateContinue reading “#FPQ – Where Will I Be?”

Word of the Day – Perplex

Perplex Patience is the teacher’s aim, but . . . easy to perplex a student’s brain. Remembering Shakespeare’s punchy prose purpose has been juxtaposed. Every sentence extremely muddled Xanthippe’s scolds, bursts their bubble.

For One Liner Wednesday

Never give up, there are always other plans.

I am part of a talented group of amateur writers and directors, who with the help of a local entertainment centre, have created some amazing VR360 plays. Along with LIVR, and the lottery, we are more than ready for our premier next week. Today I was able to view mine, and another writer’s play. IContinue reading “VR360 – My First Viewing”

Truthful Tuesday – Working at Home

Working from home – that’s the dream. In 2020, during COVID, I worked from home for a few months. Not unusual, and for many has become a normal way of working. I work in a school as learning support, and it is difficult to support when the school was open. To give us something toContinue reading “Truthful Tuesday – Working at Home”

Five Little Things

The question was asked by https://saltedcaramel670.wordpress.com/tag/saltedcaramel/ what five things irritate you. I hate it when people are rude, and don’t consider other feelings. I grew up in a time where we learnt to be polite, even when we didn’t like the person. Please and thank you cost nothing. I can still hear my mum sayingContinue reading “Five Little Things”
