Five ways I like my coffee I love the flavoured Beanie coffee. My favourite are the sweet flavours like jam, biscuit, and Irish cream. I always buy a latte after I go shopping with my husband. Milky coffee. Cappuccino. An Irish coffee (Most coffee, but never, ever cold. There is something wrong with the taste)

The Festive Season
A plastic box, full of baubles for the festivities of Christmas, which cannot be put up until twelve days before the big day, are kept underneath my stairs. One tree has been in my possession since I was a little girl. Truth be told it has seen better days, but I will not get ridContinue reading “The Festive Season”
Anger not Needed
Written for #Sundayposer I am the type of person who doesn’t get angry very often, and will take a lot of flak without saying anything. The trouble is, I’m a bit like a pressure cooker and when I do go steam pours out of my ears. My filter goes completely and I say exactly howContinue reading “Anger not Needed”
For Fibbing Friday on Saturday
1. Lucky dip is self explanatory when it comes to gifts, but how did it originate? It was used in caveman days when they went out hunting, whoever took out the longest hair would stay behind. 2. Why is seven considered a lucky number? It originates from Snow white and how the dwarves kept her safe.Continue reading “For Fibbing Friday on Saturday”
Thanks to #Throwback Thursday
This week’s prompt TV memories I remember when I was younger sitting in front of the television watching my favourite shows. I loved things like Chips, Doctor Who, and my favourite Starsky and Hutch. It was small, but a colour TV, and had three channels. At twelve o’clock the test card picture was only shown.Continue reading “Thanks to #Throwback Thursday”

When my daughter asked me what I want for Christmas this year, I said I wanted to do a parachute jump. She looked at me for a few minutes as though I had grown three heads and sprouted wings. It has always been something I want to do: my father was a paratrooper and heContinue reading “https://fivedotoh.com/2021/11/11/thursday-inspiration-the-thrill-is-gone/”
Remembrance Day
As a child I used to watch my dad on Remembrance Sunday, as he watched his fellow, former soldiers march past the Cenotaph and lay their poppy wreathes. I could see the pain behind his eyes and he wasn’t ashamed to show his emotions. I understood that many sacrificed their lives so that we haveContinue reading “Remembrance Day”
My Take on #FPQ
How much have you and your priorities changed over the past twenty years? If you’re on the younger side, answer from the perspective of the past ten years or even five years. Twenty years ago my children were the most important people in my life. My son was five and my daughter ten. If theyContinue reading “My Take on #FPQ”
For Truthful Tuesday
Do Housework or Yardwork? In the UK we call ours a back garden. Unlike my mother-in-law I am not a natural gardener, so I brought a house with fake grass and decking. We have a pear and apple tree, but I am rubbish at collecting the haul. I do the housework once a week, soContinue reading “For Truthful Tuesday”
Just One More Word Prompt – I promise
#Fandango’sflashbackfriday How many pillows do you sleep with? If over one or two, is it because you sleep better ‘propped up’ a little? I prefer three pillows when I sleep. When I go away on holiday it annoys me they only give one pillow. I end up folding up just to get a decent night’sContinue reading “Just One More Word Prompt – I promise”
