Clearly, it is a beautiful day. On Easter Weekend, the sun is shining, and we are going out for the day (secret squirrel style) The person concerned doesn’t know as it is a surprise party. We have the perfect day for it, and I am looking forward to seeing family. I wish we had aContinue reading “https://fivedotoh.com/2022/04/17/fowc-with-fandango-clearly/”

Sink or Swim
This week’s throwback Thursday post from https://lssattitudeofgratitude.wordpress.com/author/lssattitudeofgratitude/ is about learning to swim. When I was about five, I got pushed in the swimming pool by two boys. I couldn’t swim. Luckily, I was pulled out of the pool, but learning to swim frightened me after that. I didn’t like swallowing the water, or not beingContinue reading “Sink or Swim”
Pristine
The word from https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/author/cyranny/ is pristine. Pushing the hoover across her carpet, Masie felt like Filch in the last film of Harry Potter. No matter the amount of cleaning would get rid the aroma of her Rottweiler Trevor. It would never be pristine. Normally it didn’t matter to her. Young children made a mess, itContinue reading “Pristine”
One Liner Wednesday
Many hours in one day, but you can never go back, only forward.
Tragedy
Tragedy struck again. Maurine was about to go out with the dog, when she saw the poor little bird. A robin this time, next doors cat was going on a murder spree. Taking the tiny creature, she gently picked it up before he did. Putting her dog into a sit, she cradled it in herContinue reading “Tragedy”
Glasses
Where had I put my glasses? More forgetful than normal, this was the seventh time I lost them this week. Yesterday, I left them in the fridge. I’m not even sure why, but I went to get some milk, there they were sitting in the middle rail, chilling. I’m not sure why they were there,Continue reading “Glasses”
Lucky Seven . . .
Five people had already died trying to find that cursed bag, that’s what the thugs at my door told me. They appeared, or rather, slammed past my door with their size eleven boots. I was just eating my dinner, or rather trying to. ”I don’t know what bag you’re on about,’ I said, digging aContinue reading “Lucky Seven . . .”
Favourite World
Questions Do You Prefer Salty Foods or Sweet Foods? I prefer sweet food rather than savoury. I do pick up biscuits, or cake rather than crisps. Although I do like sweet chilli crisps. I like cheesecake, and treacle pudding with lots of ambrosia custard. Would you rather be in a place where it is excessivelyContinue reading “Favourite World”
A Call from the Past
A rotary phone, pink, the same colour as the one I used as a child. Mum used to spend hours, with the handset to her ear. A flurry of sisters, she could be on the phone for hours. There is something about the way the numbers revolve around the centre, clicking and whirring into position.Continue reading “A Call from the Past”
An Intentional Affair
INTENTIONAL Intentional, not an accident as he had told the police. Hiding in the shadows, her husband’s killer watched him die. She was sure of it. Her mum, dad, said it was her job. She was naturally untrusting, and sometimes it was just an accident. Richard was the only one of a handful of peopleContinue reading “An Intentional Affair”
