Do You Like?

Written for https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2023/07/10/share-your-world-10th-july/ 1.  How do you like your coffee/tea? I like my coffee without sugar, and hot. I do not let any of my hot drinks go cold because they don’t taste right. I always have one spoon of coffee, and a fairly weak tea. 2.  Are you a dunker (of biscuits/cookies)? Depends onContinue reading “Do You Like?”

Happiness?

Written for https://fromcavewalls.wordpress.com/2023/07/06/happiness-tranquil-thursday-16/ My gratitude – I have somewhere to sleep, enough food to eat and the love of my family. My pets make me happy too, especially Titan, who never fails to greet me, with a wag of his tail, and a big kiss. I am lucky, and I will never forget a sayingContinue reading “Happiness?”

What Could She Do

Written for https://girlieontheedge1.wordpress.com/2023/07/02/sundays-six-sentence-story-word-prompt-269/ A melancholy sort of day, spent relaxing on the sofa, perhaps an afternoon nap would do, she thought, as she typed up the last of her list of not to do’s today. What could she do? On such a balmy day as this, the only thing she could even think of wouldContinue reading “What Could She Do”

Imperial

Written for https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/tag/word-of-the-day/ I’ve never known any other money that imperial. My parents used to talk about shillings, even when the new money was introduced. I’m old enough to remember the half pence. There was also the thrupenny, which was worth two and half pence. We were taught how to handle money from a veryContinue reading “Imperial”

Strength

Inspiration from https://reinventionsreena.wordpress.com/2023/07/06/reenas-xploration-challenge-287/ A woman, who is okay about being alone, is a powerful woman. She didn’t need anyone in her life right now, that was for sure. Her divorce; messy was putting it lightly. It wasn’t all Tom’s fault, but then it wasn’t hers either. Something had happened between her having Theresa, and growingContinue reading “Strength”

Unlikely

Written in response https://ragtagcommunity.wordpress.com/2023/07/06/rdp-thursday-unlikely/ An unlikely day; dark clouds threatening to unleash an anger she wasn’t quite ready for. Most days were like that, but used to the bombardment of bullets, her bullying was normalised. Something changed that morning – it wasn’t just the test she was dreading, but the reaction of her peers whenContinue reading “Unlikely”

Turning the Pages

This week’s question from https://fivedotoh.com/2023/07/05/fandangos-provocative-question-221/ Do I read audio books? Not really, I do prefer the feel of a book, turning the pages, and reading the next page. I can’t really listen in the bath, which is where I read most of my books. However, I do use the audio, when listening to my ownContinue reading “Turning the Pages”

Protection

Written in response to https://fivedotoh.com/2023/07/04/fandangos-story-starter-104/ The mysterious figure emerged from the shadows of the dimly lit alley and started walking toward her, sending chills up and down her spine. She remembered her uncle’s words, and held the keys in her right hand. Nobody was going to hurt her, not with his valued advice. As heContinue reading “Protection”
