Behold & Eye

The first… a little serious…

Eyes cannot unsee
Witness to all that happened
Truly scarred for life

And a second for my Lil Man who has been bringing home scrumptious delights as he has started Food Technology (formerly known as Cookery, but that’s too girly for boys!)

Behold the wonder
He made his first Mac’n’Cheese
Feast your eyes on it!

A little repost from past year. Happy 45th Anniversary Pops and Mum!

Wishing my parents, Pops and Mum a very happy wedding anniversary!

A love like yours
We wish to achieve
That blanket of life
We want to weave
That unerring faith
You have in each other
The respect that you show
For one another
You’re there for us
Whenever the need
The advice you give
We’ll always heed
If we only had half
Of what you had
We’d be so lucky
And we’d be glad
A marriage built
On respect and love
You truly are a match
Made up above.

My entry for TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge this week.

The prompt words are:

Ancient and Moment or the photo you could use is..

Charming Rennes

Colourful painting
Refresh old walls in a flash
A new lease of life

One moment in time
Within ancient history
Changes our life paths

***

Treasure forever
Memories from days gone by
They never come back

Oh Sacha, you evil task master!!!! What have you got us doing this week??

writespiration-2017

Your challenge is to write your story using the weekly theme/prompt and write it in just 52 words…. EXACTLY, no more, no less.
Backwards.
BUT, in addition to that, I want you to write your story backwards…!

Seriously??!!

Ok, so I wasn’t sure, word for word backwards? Sentences backwards? Reflected backwards???

Here’s what I came up with, in several forms! And all 52 words!!!!!

Backwards sentences…

The discussion about changing her surname was always going to happen, but there was no way she was going from Portia Peters to bloody Portia Carr!!!!!
The marriage proposal came soon after.
It had been a few years since they started dating.
Tim stared back sullenly.
“Jeez! You’re so backwards!” Portia huffed.

Word for word backwards…

And in case that made no sense whatsoever… The original!

“Jeez! You’re so backwards!” Portia huffed.
Tim stared back sullenly.
It had been a few years since they started dating.
The marriage proposal came soon after.
The discussion about changing her surname was always going to happen, but there was no way she was going from Portia Peters to bloody Portia Carr!!!!!

OMG Sasha, that was tough!!!
