Christmas Break
I won’t be posting in the next few days. I will be celebrating with my family, walking my dog, opening our presents. It will be a time when technology will happen second Merry Christmas to all.
Going Home
Written for https://fivedotoh.com/2022/12/19/fandangos-flash-fiction-challenge-198/ Mary sat on the floor, in the library, waiting for the madness to be over. Everyone, in their Christmas hats, and jumpers. Singing festive songs on the Karaoke machine. She didn’t want to be there, reminded of those, whose Christmas would be full of presents and peace. There was no peace atContinue reading “Going Home”
Looking Good
We are asked by https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/author/sadje19/ on her Sunday Poser, about looking good. I do think as you get older looking good takes second over being comfortable. As a young woman, I wore high heeled stilettoes, not caring if my feet hurt. I wanted to look good. Saying that, I never spent a lot of moneyContinue reading “Looking Good”
Coffee Questions
Written for https://earthlycomforts.uk/ 01 Do you sometimes ‘just’ LIKE posts from those you follow but don’t often read the content, and if so, why do you do this? I will read most posts, but when they are long, I do tend to skim read the rest. Is it a time restraint or something else thatContinue reading “Coffee Questions”
Half My Plate

I have gone back to Slimming World, as I was steadily putting on weight, and needed to think about what I put on my plate. Surprisingly, I convinced my husband to join me. He has steadily been eating the wrong thing for a long time andContinue reading “Half My Plate”
Inspiration
Written in response to https://fivedotoh.com/2022/11/21/fandangos-flash-fiction-challenge-194/ Sarah was sitting here so long, waiting for inspiration to strike the keyboard, but nothing. She pondered on why it is so difficult to just write one line. The delete button was used so much, it should have malfunctioned hours before. Her hand tapped her chin, trying to find aContinue reading “Inspiration”
Ouch – That Hurt
The week’s question from https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2022/10/18/can-see-no-truthful-tuesday-so-am-stepping-in-for-melanie/ and it is definitely one for me. Today, hubby and I went for our annual flu jab. I work in an environment where I am more likely to have flu, and my husband is getting to an age where he needs all the help he can get. I’m not muchContinue reading “Ouch – That Hurt”
The Power of Three
My hope was that I posted a picture a day for October, but as ever life got in the way. On Tuesday I went to my Slimming world meeting and didn’t get home until eight o’clock. By the time we had dinner it was nearly nine. I did one post, but my eyes were droopingContinue reading “The Power of Three”
