My freezer definitely needs defrosting. Would You Rather Hear The Music Of Johann Sebastian Bach Played By A Barbershop Quartet, Or AContinue reading “Sharing My World”

What’s the Occasion?

“What’s the occasion?” Sadie said, as her husband brought a tray into the front room. A red rose, a glass of whisky, and lemonade, and a lasagne, with a few slices of garlic bread. ”No occasion, just thought you could do with a rest, that’s all.” Sadie narrowed her eyes, and looked to the trayContinue reading “What’s the Occasion?”

Frying Tonight

”That’s nasty weather out there,’ Steven said, picking up an umbrella from the stand in the hall. “I forgot to get eggs, and I can’t make dinner without them.” ”Isn’t there something else we can have instead?” Her silence told him everything he needed to hear. It was either go and get eggs, or listenContinue reading “Frying Tonight”

For Fandango – Word Challenge

”I am sending the referral to your doctor. I’m sorry, but there will be a waiting list, but it is clear you are having a panic attack.” Robert lay on the dentist chair, and allowed himself to calm down. He hated being terrified of needles. He could handle other people’s pain, but not his own.Continue reading “For Fandango – Word Challenge”
