https://ragtagcommunity.wordpress.com/2021/08/22/rdp-sunday-aghast/ https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/daily-prompt-links-for-august-2021/ When my old dog, Scamp, passed away I wasn’t sure I would get a new dog. It had been an inspiring journey with him. My husband always owned dogs, and I was aghast when he said we should have one. I am a cat person, and all my life they were given houseroom.Continue reading “Word prompts – Faithful friends”

Word Prompts – Word of the Day/Stream of Consciousness.
https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/2021/08/21/marzipan/ Marzipan, in years all told, and I am in childhood mode. Parties where my mum would either buy a cake, with marzipan covering the top like a blanket. Or she would get one of her sisters to bake a cake with marzipan. My ode to marzipan is a short one because I’m not theContinue reading “Word Prompts – Word of the Day/Stream of Consciousness.”
An answer to Fandango’s question #FPQ
https://fivedotoh.com/2021/07/28/fandangos-provocative-question-128/ I’m not sure, but my husband is totally my opposite in many ways. I am normally the glass half full sort of person. If something goes wrong I will try and find solutions to the problem. I won’t give up until I can at least find a way through the fog. My husband isContinue reading “An answer to Fandango’s question #FPQ”
Life lessons
I have had three on line interviews this week and have heard about two of them. I didn’t get the jobs, but I have learnt a lot from them. I have made two power point presentations. At the beginning of this week I didn’t even know how to make them, so I’m proud of myselfContinue reading “Life lessons”
https://fivedotoh.com/2021/08/11/fandangos-provocative-question-130/
The first question from Fandango is what worries you about the future. I’m not sure, but I think I worry about other people more than I worry about myself. COVID has knocked the stuffing out of me. You go out without a mask, and it feels weird not to put one on. I’m fully vaccinated,Continue reading “https://fivedotoh.com/2021/08/11/fandangos-provocative-question-130/”
Stream of Consciousness – luck
Okay, here goes. My stream of consciousness for luck. Some people may think luck is winning on the lottery, or getting some good news. For me luck is having my family around me and getting their support. Luck is something you can give to others in the way you treat them. Luck is walking inContinue reading “Stream of Consciousness – luck”
Walkies Titan
I was up early this morning – only way I could get an appointment for the dentist. My husband cracked his tooth eating crisps, and now wants the remnants taken out. He is not the bravest person with pain, and I was determined to get him an appointment. Success, but I had to phone several.Continue reading “Walkies Titan”
Word of the day challenge – Grizzle
https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/2021/08/10/grizzle/ I pulled the first grey hair I saw, but that only made a grizzle more, In the past, I’ve coloured, dyed, my frazzled hair to auburn red, to disguise, the fact I was getting older. Now my grey is getting bolder. Each strand shouldering the rest. I no longer pull them out. In fact,Continue reading “Word of the day challenge – Grizzle”
Anniversary Celebrations
Today is my wedding anniversary and I have been married for thirty-four years – apparently next year is Coral, so might have to go away for that. This year we’re going to have a meal out, at our favourite Italian restaurant, and then go and watch a movie. I met my husband on a blindContinue reading “Anniversary Celebrations”
Last Day
It was my last day at work today as learning support. I’ve enjoyed the last three years working alongside talented support assistants and teachers. All those lessons in English have definitely helped my writing. What to do next? I’m not sure. I’ve applied for other jobs, but my heart will always belong to creating aContinue reading “Last Day”
