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.

To Infinity and Back
For https://lindaghill.com/author/lindaghill/ stream of consciousness is ring, and it got me to thinking the origin of wearing a ring to symbolise marriage. Through research I have learnt that before medical science it was believed that there was a direct vein called vena amoris (vein of love) that went straight to the heart to show anContinue reading “To Infinity and Back”
Silent
https://lindaghill.com/author/lindaghill/ Strean of Consciousness is silent letters. In the English language we are full of them. A knife, you know, and our palms are numb. There are many rules when writing, and yet it is something I know, rather than something I have learnt. In the written word, writing has that ”w”. Why? It’s likeContinue reading “Silent”
Why?
Why is often a question used when your children are growing up and curious about the world around them. Constant questions about what they don’t know is a good thing, because when we ask questions, we learn something new every day. As adults we don’t really ask many questions. We go to work, live ourContinue reading “Why?”
A New Start
For her steam of consciousness, https://lindaghill.com/author/lindaghill/ is wallpaper. ‘That wallpaper will have to go,’ Simon said.

Dana remembered her own parent’s house, and she was pretty sure it was the same one. ‘At least it matches theContinue reading “A New Start”

Iron(y)
My Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “iron(y). Toby stood in the doorway of the restaurant, watching his date make her order. It paid to be observant, in those first few moments, that way he could catch them unawares. Every so often she looked up, and he side stepped back. She was definitely the strongContinue reading “Iron(y)”
Don’t Run
“This post is part of SoCS:” https://lindaghill.com/author/lindaghill/. She asks for a phrase you grew up with. My mum used to say if you fall down and break your leg don’t come running to me. I mean, even as a child I knew, that if I did break my leg, how in the heck was I goingContinue reading “Don’t Run”
Zip, Zero, Zilch
My Friday prompt from Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “zip, zero, zilch.” Use one, use ’em all, bonus points if you use all three. Have fun! Zip, zero, zilch, the amount in my bank account was clear, I needed to find a job and soon. Resorting to food banks to feed my family, the rent wasContinue reading “Zip, Zero, Zilch”
