But I Smile Anyway…

Linda’s SoCS prompt.

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “cosy.’” Use it any way you like. Have fun! (And Merry Christmas if I don’t come back before then!)!

I know the weather is awful right now in the States and Canada, and I wish you all well and hope all those who read this from there are staying safe.

We had the snow and low temperatures last week, but though low for here, it was nothing like what you guys are experiencing.

Right now, it’s Christmas Eve, and instead of snow, we have had a few torrential downpours, which I had to navigate to get the last of the Christmas Food shop!

I’d much rather have been sat at home, in bed with my book and a cup of tea, all tucked up and cosy, but hey, what’s a girl supposed to do when you have a gannet for a son, and there is no way you could buy anything too early, as he would probably eat it!

Still, enjoy your Christmas Eve, Peeps!

Artistic license used with the spelling for cosy, because, well, I am from Britain!

Linda’s SoCS prompt.

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “start your post or one paragraph with the word ‘anyway.’” Bonus points if you start your post with “anyway” and regular points if you use it in a paragraph somewhere else in your post. Enjoy!

“Anyway,” Becca said. “He’s going to propose tomorrow. I just know it.” She stood in front of the mirror, twirling around.

Nicki sighed. “Would you stop pouting at yourself, you’re worse than all those influencers on Instagram!”

“Well, I have to be ready, with the right expression, don’t I? You never know. He might be getting someone to film it. And who knows, we might go viral because it’s so romantic!” She clasped her hands together against her chest and attempted another couple of eyelash-fluttering poses.

The thing is, Nicki already knew the outcome. There was no way in hell that Jake was proposing to Becca. Because he’d already promised he was leaving her.

For Nicki.

I know what you’re all thinking. Who needs enemies with best friends like that?
