Sue’s amazing Photo prompt this week.
In this photo, I saw two very different halves of the same picture, and it reminded me of the fact that life is a series of opposites, and those opposites often complement each other, like Yin and Yang!
One step at a time
Drawing closer to safety
Keep your mind focussed
On one side you feel danger
On the other calmness reignsYet both are required
To retain life’s harmony
Yin and Yang completesRitu 2016

Friday gave me Ronovan’s Fiction Prompt, but as I have been a little out of sorts (read totally exhaustipated!) I was unable to get my head into gear.
The prompt word was Holiday.
So I decided to take a break too this week. Lara is having a holiday! She will be back next week, full of bumbling exploits with her crew.
Sorry… Cheesy excuse, but I seriously am so tired, that the old brain isn’t quite ticking as well as usual!
I sat with my computer on for hours, in front of me, and not one word formed when it came to Lara, so I figured, rather than feed you an awful chapter, we can have a break, and by then I will be on holiday too, and hopefully refreshed, I can get Lara’s story going again!

Linda’s SoCS prompt today…
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “if/then.” Begin your post with the word “If.” For bonus points, end your post with a phrase containing the word “then.” Enjoy!
If I’ve done my job correctly
And my students are prepared
Then transition to their big school
Won’t leave them feeling scared.
A little ditty dedicated to my first ever class of children who are stepping up big time, from nursery to real school in September!

TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge this week… check it out here.
His prompt photo was
and the prompt word, Fence.
My take…
Cricket match tension
Batter standing at the green
Fielders fence him in
Can he hit a boundary?
By God, he’s done it! Howzat!Ritu 2016
Dedicated to my Lil Man, who is completing his first season as a young cricketer!
