Spidey’s Serene Sunday – Part 309 – Snowy Thoughts

img_00411

“Snow rouses your inner child to dream and play once more.”

Angie Weiland-Crosby

Thanks, Spidey! You know exactly what has been on our minds, recently, especially here in the South East!

We have had two weekends of hints that we will wake in the morning to a coating of the white stuff, but both weekends, here.

Nothing.

I seriously can’t explain the disappointment!

I may be a mid-forties aged woman, but there is still that excitement at waking in the morning, pulling your curtains open and seeing white blanketing the world.

So, we have been told, that on Sunday, which is today for you, but tomorrow for me, as I type this, The Beast from The Baltic, is coming to visit. And I hope that I wake to that white blanket!

It’s meant to be heavy, for us, tomorrow, and possibly continuing a little into Monday. Heaven knows what that means for school.

School snow days could be a thing of the past, now the world has become switched onto remote learning, but I do hope that most schools affected, take the initiative, and encourage children to get out there, with their families, and enjoy the time, together. We don’t see substantial snow often, here so the kids need to be able to enjoy. Imagine the postiive effect on their mental health!

Now, here’s hoping it actually materialises! I really don’t need another disappointment, and am holding onto that third time lucky thing! (Better get my wellies ready just in case!)

So… tell me, how do you feel about snow?

#SoCS Feb. 6, 2021

Linda’s #SoCS prompt for this week:

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “flag.” Use it any way you’d like. Have fun!

I’m flagging.

We have a week left before half term is welcomed with open arms by teachers and parents alike.

Usually, the thought of having the kids at home can be a drag for some parents, but this time, it will be a welcome break, as, though the kids have been home since mid-December, they have been remote learning for the last five weeks, and parents have had to become supervisors of their children’s learning, or even the teacher, for the younger ones who can’t access remote learning independently.

They won’t be juggling devices, and ensuring that teens are logged in, instead of being asleep while their lessons are playing. No more phonics, and numbers, either. Just simple family time.

And for teachers, and school staff it will be similar. Instead of juggling the remote learning, marking and feedback as well as researching and recording lessons, and trying to teach the children who are still in school simultaneously, we can, hopefully, take our school hats off for a week, or a few days, at least, and recharge batteries.

Because, as I said, I am flagging. It has been a long half term. You’d think with not many kids in it was an easy ride… the mental strain of dealing with offering online learning, as well as ensuring it is being accessed by all, with coming to terms with new technology to deliver it… never ending.

I’ve been falling asleep before 10pm again the last few days. I’m already yawning, before midday…

Roll on, this week!

February 4: Flash Fiction Challenge – Finding Your Prince Charming

The Carrot Ranch Prompt, this week:

February 4, 2021, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story that features a substitution. How might a character or situation be impacted by a stand-in? Bonus points for fairy tale elements. Go where the prompt leads.

Finding Your Prince Charming
 
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful Princess, awaiting her Prince Charming.
 After reading the Find Your Prince self-help book, she tried the Sleeping Beauty, the Snow White, and even the Cinderella. 
 Nothing.
 Eventually, she decided to use her long hair as she attempted the Rapunzel.
 Sitting in her tower, with her golden plait fluttering out of the window, she felt a tug.
 “Yes! Finally, my Prince is coming!”
 More pulling followed by the grunt of her beloved-to-be as he hoisted himself up.
 Alas, no Prince, just the toothless Palace window cleaner!
 No happily ever after, just yet!
