He was always there for me, especially when I finally toldContinue reading “Family”

Safe
His first day at the FBI, didn’t go well. A trick played on him by older agents. Keeping Britain safe, he was allowed to type out the letters for the undercover agents. It wasn’t his fault he got distracted. She walked up to the counter, blew smoke in his face. ‘Can I see The Boss?’Continue reading “Safe”
Grandad Grumps
‘You never let me get away with any of that when I was the same age.’ Alan said, watching his daughter eat her way through a packet of Haribo. ‘If I wanted sweets before dinner, you would say no.’ ‘Well, she loves Haribo, and besides it is only a little packet.’ Hands on hips, AlanContinue reading “Grandad Grumps”
People
I think, at my age, being a people pleaser isn’t something I am too concerned with. As another blogger posted, you cannot please everyone. Sometimes you need to think of yourself. I was brought up to be polite, caring, and understanding of other people’s feelings. We don’t get on with everyone, all of the time.Continue reading “People”

Forgiveness
Written for https://girlieontheedge1.wordpress.com/2023/04/23/sundays-six-sentence-story-word-prompt-259/. Consequences is the word chosen this week. There were consequences to her positive actions.

Great Teacher
Written in response https://ragtagcommunity.wordpress.com/2023/04/20/ragtag-daily-prompt-thursday-imbricate/ Imbricate the plates, that’s what Steve’s chef told him, but the trouble was he didn’t understand a word. Did it mean just wash them in the dish washer, or by hand? He wasn’t sure, but couldn’t ask again. Whatever he needed to do, maybe it was best to remember what hisContinue reading “Great Teacher”
Book Review – Dead Embers
Another book, from my second hand haul from Tesco. A charity bookcase, where avid readers can swap books, while giving money for charity. I would love to buy new books, but sometimes the forgotten reads can be just as good. Dead Embers starts with the homicide of two detectives (husband and wife). Their three yearContinue reading “Book Review – Dead Embers”
