Saturday brings Linda’s SoCS… and here is my take!
Twas a post that was meant to be
Directed by Linda you see
Just take this one word
It might be absurd
And write, go on, you’re free!
BE.
To be or not to be
Is that a question or what?
I want to be a great writer.
I want to be a perfect mother.
I want to be the best wife ever.
I want to be a teacher my pupils never forget.
So many things I want to be.
And they are all things I can aspire to, to try and be as long as I put in the effort and work.
But the biggest thing I want to be is happy. If I’m happy, all those around me are happy too. Everything takes on a golden glow.
And when I think about it, I don’t want to be happy, I am happy!
So I urge you all too, don’t think about it too much, put a smile on that face, and feel the difference it makes in your life.
Don’t worry, be happy!
I love this song!!!!!!
Happy Saturday Peeps!

Sue has given us another wonderful photo prompt!
I went for humour, a 2 part limerick… a bit weird, but hey, that’s my mind for you!I have no excuse for how my brain works sometimes!
Slimming World
“How’dya do it?” said Fat Rock to Thin
“Look so tall yet incredibly slim?”
“It’s easy” said Thin
With a sly little grin
“I just tend to hold my breath in”The secret though folks is the sun
When the pale orb’s shine has begun
Its shadows create
A shape that is fake
Svelte without having to run!Ritu 2016

It’s Hugh’s weekly photo challenge. Check out the prompt here.
(Funny story alert. .. I’m trying to post this at my parents home and their WiFi filter deems Hugh’s blog as far too risqué! So I’m having to do this via my mobile so I can get all the links up, then edit via my Surface!
The prompt word?
GAP
Want to join the fun? Here’s what you need to do.
1. Take or choose a photo that you’ve taken which shows a gap in it.
2. Create a new post on your blog entitled “Hugh’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Week 19 – “Gap”
3. Add the photo(s) you have taken to the post and tell us a little about what you are showing.
4. Create a pingback to this post or leave a link to your post in the comments section below so that other participants can view the post.
So here’s mine, taken at Conkers Nature Park last summer, when Lil Princess was very nervously completing a rope adventure course… she was finally at the end and this great big gap appeared in the wooden slats! There were tears, and possible tantrums, had she not been too worried of falling through the slats, but she got there in the end!
Leap Of Faith
Nearly there
Just one more big step…
Mind the gap!!!

Sacha has asked us to do this for this week’s Writespiration challenge.
1 – The title of your current WIP – if you’re working on more than one, just choose the one you like the title of best. Or if you like, make a title up.
2 – A 150 word snippet from your current WIP. If it is part of a series, feel free to post links to amazon for the first book (only) in the series and I will add it for people to have a look.
So here goes… one of my WIP’s, a new one, could be a collection of short stories, could be a stand alone long story…
Venus on Earth
That’s the supposed titles… the working title as it is called.
And the 150 (151!) word snippet…
All pretty usual for this place.
Then you get Venus House.
Intriguing name, isn’t it?
It’s one of the townhouses on my road, right opposite my own rented space. A beautifully kept house, and as far as I knew, it was owned by the lady who lived there. There had been no converting, but I think she rented rooms out to students. Well, I had seen a number of young women who had stayed there for a while, before moving on, and a little time went by before another face became a familiar one.
Thing is, there were also quite a lot of visitors to this place. They could be family or friends, I know, but it seemed strange that they only came most evenings…
Oh, I wondered plenty about this house. It was intriguing. And one day I got to find out a lot more about the tenants and owner…
