  • Every Other

    “Significant other” Well Mr Prompt Setter Ai thing or whatever you are, I know what you are alluding to but, every other is significant to me. If that wasn’t the case that would mean some people are insignificant, and not even a politician would own up to that. So I assume allowing for the stupidity… Read more

    This wasn’t difficult, the best day of my life? Rolling back the years, with no regrets or fears, the day I married my wifeA day of joy, a day of warmth the best day of my lifeThat day in December, so cold I remember, but under a pale full sunFrozen bridesmaids charms my brothers in… Read more

  • Short But Sweet.

  • THE JOURNEY. The book that sent me off on a journey, was my own. What started out as a distraction from my burn injuries, became an insight into people’s lives, the doctors and nurses love and compassion, my friends and relations care and understanding, in fact the power people have to love. It also gave… Read more

  • Anarchic, funny, irreverent, set me up for later life. I’m talking about “Monty Pythons Flying Circus” of course, It’s a bit like Marmite, you either loved it or hated it, for those not familiar with it I apologise. The quotes are not meant to be exact, it’s just a pastiche. LET’S TAKE A FUNNY WALK.… Read more

  • Putting Up Bounderies.

    I quite like to challenge myself, firstly with coming up with a twist on the prompt, then turning the whole thing around. Being nearly 72 now I no longer have now my parents, and one brother who was nine years older than I died four years ago, nevertheless the below still works in principal. This… Read more

  • Souls

    I would have loved to have written, about the fish”sole” or even shoe soles, and there is another of course but I’m not going there, the spelling isn’t the same so it wouldn’t really work.
