https://ragtagcommunity.wordpress.com/ I am the youngest child, and there are many benefits to this. I’m sure my older brother and sister will say I got away with a lot as a child., but as I watched them gain in independence I was still at home. I wanted to be where they were, able to make myContinue reading “Independence – An earned right”

School Days
Not a story today, but a memory for the word regurgitate. An old Geography teacher, and I cannot remember is name (well it is nearly forty years ago) We called him the Jolly Green Giant because he had to duck when walking through doors. His favourite saying when we had a test was I wantContinue reading “School Days”
#Share Your World – Answers to your Questions
Are you easily frightened or startled? In a word yes, and I’m a screamer. If something startles me I will scream very loudly and make someone else jump (Purely whimsical supposition. Suspend disbelief for a bit)If you were a ghost, what location do you think you would haunt? Is it the same or different fromContinue reading “#Share Your World – Answers to your Questions”
Add an hour – Take it Away
Spring forward, fall back is something I remember from my childhood. A way make sure the clocks are going the right way for the time of year. I think the reason they went back or forward was to do with daylight saving time. A way to have more hours for farmers during the second worldContinue reading “Add an hour – Take it Away”

Swindle Excuse me for my rant, but I have had enough of being swindled. I’ve known my guttering needs doing for a while now, so I got quotes and got someone in to do the job. Two weeks ago he arrived (five hours late) and did half the job because he said I needed newContinue reading “https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/”

In past years the humble table has been the heart of the family home. Television programmes set the most important decisions around it. My memories are pretty much the same. Family parties, where there was always a spread of a variety of food on display. Christmas dinners where we laughed at ancient jokes in theContinue reading “https://fivedotoh.com/2021/10/15/fowc-with-fandango-table/”
#Throwback Thursday – My Collections
I remember when I collected comics, and kept them in an ottoman in my bedroom. I liked a varied selection. There was a comic, a little bit like the Beano. My favourite comic was called Misty. I brought this comic from edition one, and it was full of horror stories, which is weird because IContinue reading “#Throwback Thursday – My Collections”
Matching
https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/ This word prompt got me thinking about socks and the way we always lose one of the pair. My daughter has given up on matching socks, and wears odd ones all the time. Where do all those lost socks go to – is there a lost and found for matching socks. Or does itContinue reading “Matching”
From Three Things Challenge
Quizzical, Riot, Roast We always had roast on a Sunday, but my mum’s attempts were very much like school dinners. When I was a child my nephew used to stay the weekend. We had beef slices (cooked in their own bags) roast potatoes, and tinned carrots. For pudding we used to have apple pies andContinue reading “From Three Things Challenge”
My Take on #WQWWC
Never in my wildest imagination did I think I was going to be part of something so cutting edge, but next week my play is going to be filmed for VR360. I am so excited. It is my first commissioned play, and will be professionally edited to be seen on a headset. On the firstContinue reading “My Take on #WQWWC”
