Thank you Fandango for your Flash Fiction Challenge. Daddy promised he would be home today, in his lorry. He promised me he would bring me a dolly all the way from Paris. Yet, I watch the fog drift in from the east, and see nothing but the bridge meander into the distance. I sit here,Continue reading “Home Sweet Home”

My Valentine
This week Sunday’s Poser is; What are your thoughts about Valentine’s Day? I’ve been married for thirty-four years, and Valentine’s Day isn’t something we celebrate.

Since I could write my own name, I’ve always loved writing. I used to write little stories for Starsky and Hutch, hoping I could send them off.

With several shakes of his head, the mechanic imparted his bad news. He really wanted to give this owner a reprieve.

Capricious Capricorn
“How capricious of you,” my friend said, as I bent down to give a homeless man a cup of hot chocolate, sausage roll, and a pack of doughnuts. “Thank you,” he said. I stroked his pooch. I almost wished I brought a few treats, and retrieved a pack of cooked chicken from my shopping bag.
My Favourite Healthy Meal
Diets are something I have tried over the years since I was old enough to worry about my weight. Not that I had to when I was younger. My metabolism was really good and I could eat anything. It was great when I was a postie, and riding my bike five days a week. NothingContinue reading “My Favourite Healthy Meal”
Word of The Day
“You don’t understand Mum, it’s the party of the century, and I’ll be a laughing stock at school if I don’t go!” “I’ve made up my mind, you have exams in a few months, and there will be other parties.” Kylie glared, and slammed the kitchen draw shut, nearly trapping it in her fingers. “I’mContinue reading “Word of The Day”

Linda’s Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “fortune.” ”This must be worth a fortune!” Avery I said, his hand over a small, square box. E Bay’s site changed over thirty years. Gone were the computers, and shopping habits had changed. With a touch of the live stream on her temple, it was likeContinue reading “https://lindaghill.com/author/lindaghill/”
Fibbing Friday
My answers to his questions: Why is St. Valentine’s day observed on February 14th? It is when Valentine was born, he hated his name and changed it to Graham. According to legend, what is supposed to happen if a groundhog sees his shadow on February 2nd? Another groundhog will hear him from a thousand milesContinue reading “Fibbing Friday”
Role Model – For Throwback Thursday
My role model, growing up, was my dad. He was an amazing father, who never stopped listening to me. If I needed someone to talk to, he was there. No problem was too small for him. He was never afraid to show his emotional side, and I remember him saying ”If you cry at something,Continue reading “Role Model – For Throwback Thursday”
