“Don’t take things too seriously, and just chill.” – Kailash Kher
Thanks Spidey!
I think this is something I really need to do at the moment.
I spend so long getting myself all caught up in the things I think I have to do, and forget to have that down time for me, or with the family.
So this is what this Sunday will be based upon, time with my children and Husband… and my book!
So… tell me, how do you chill?

Linda’s SoCS Prompt this week…
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “the last piece of mail you received.” Talk about the subject of the last piece of physical mail you received, i.e. a gas bill–talk about gas, not the bill itself. Have fun!
Hmmm… it’s not often I get mail nowadays. Most of my bank statements and bills are online, as I hate to throw so much paper away!
However, there are some things that are inevitable… Bills.
And Insurance renewals.
The last piece of physical mail I received was a renewal reminder for my cat, Sonu Singh. And his Pet insurance premium.
We are lucky to be blessed with a beautiful, healthy kitty who has just celebrated his 5th birthday with us too.
And his health means that we haven’t ever had to use the insurance, but is’s a ‘just in case’ scenario, as it is for all insurance.
He’s a fully fledged member of the family so he deserves to be looked after, just right too!
But the premiums! Oh my!
It went up by £100 just in a year, and that is even though we haven’t claimed ever.
Apparently it’s his age.
Seriously? He’s 5! And a house cat, at that.
Most insurers mention the 10 year mark as a time you would start to see rises, but not our company.
Suffice to say, we found another insurer, at a fraction of the cost, and the same piece of mind regarding our fur baby.
We love you Sonu Singh!

Charli’s 99-word fiction prompt:
March 21, 2019, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story that features a bucket of water. What is the condition of the water and what is the bucket for? Drop deep into the weel and draw from where the prompt leads! u.
The Big Leak
Drip. Drip. Drip.
Colin lay on the bed, trying his hardest to sleep but the incessant dripping noise was keeping him from his beauty sleep.
He’s already emptied the bucket, just before going to bed, though it sounded like it would be full of more rainwater before long, and he’d have to dispose of it again.
Drip. Drip. Drip.
It was typical that a leak had to spring now, during the rainiest of seasons, with a hurricane brewing, when no roofer was willing to risk his life to patch up a few shingles on his roof.
Drip. Drip. Drip.

Sue’s #WritePhoto prompt:
I see the beginnings of a valley
I see distances starting to form
A natural split happening
A land that will become torn
Will beauty dissipate
Or will it double?
Will we have peace
or trouble?
Brexit?
Rift...

Thank you so much to Simon for this kindness!
I apologise for not participating as I would usually, but I am suffering a no time issue at the moment with work and life…
But I would like to express my gratitude to Simon! ❤
There are so many of you who I would mention on here, kindness personified, honestly! ❤
Like Cyranny with this award I’m chaeting a little. She kindly nominated me for the Random Acts of Kindness award but pinged Planet Simon, I’m going to post my reply on here instead.
I don’t know much about this award but seems to be something you do to randomly select great blogger sna give them some love as an act of kindness. But I owuld like to say that blogging is something that has affected me more than I could have imagined, there are people who have come and sadly gone. The landscape is always changing but some just stay and they have a special place. Some of those aren’t mentioned here as Cyranny stole them from me… but they all know who they are. So with that I’ll shut up and I’ll just select them.
But these are all bloggers that are great and deserve some kindness. I can…
