My dear sis Erika took something I said and made it into one of her quotes for the day. As I mentioned in her comments, it’s not strictly my quote, it’s a saying that has been around for aeons.
Today, maybe more than most it feels apt.
I am off soon on a long journey, to attend the funeral of my cousin who passed away last week.
Funerals are not lovely things to attend, by any means. They indicate the end. I don’t like to say goodbye… But then the silver lining part comes into play, as they can also be a celebration of someone’s life, if you let then be.
My cousin sister was a vibrant soul, always there to help everyone, with wacky health care and natural remedy solutions at hand all of the time, and a LOT of love to give to us all.
She lost her husband many years ago, and now she leaves 4 children, and grandchildren also. Although I know we shall miss her greatly, I feel happy knowing she will be reunited with her husband after all these years, and that she’ll be looking down on us, wishing the best for us at all times.
RIP Didi

FFF #18 – Writing’s On The Wall

It’s been a while, but finally Matt, our very own Book Blogger is back with his 18th Flash Fiction challenge, also known as the Flash Fiction Foray!
What the lovely Matt usually does, is give us a song to work with, as inspiration, and our job is to create a 100 word flash fiction masterpiece, which we post, and ping back to him!
Well the inspiration for today is the new Bond Theme by Sam Smith, Writing’s On The Wall.
And as it is the week of Halloween, I have allowed my mind to wander to the creepy side…!
They looked around the shabby room… no real clues here. Detective Inspector Walsh stepped into the hallway. “I don’t know what to think, really.” he murmered. There appeared to be no sign of any recent life here, yet the neighbours had been complaining of loud banging and shouting, scraping and screaming, over the last few nights.
Just then PC Brown called out “I think you’re gonna want to see this sir.” DI Walsh turned back into the room. A large piece of wallpaper lay, partly pulled off the wall, and there, alongside what looked like bloody scratch marks, were words…
I hope you liked my little effort!

It’s Monday, and time to think about the weekly challenge set by Ronovan’s, on his blog… Check it out here.
The two words, as a prompt, are Pen & Muse…
Musing quietly
Wondering which thoughts shall flow
Through my ink today…
Where are you, my muse?
It’s true, you inspire my words…
Thoughts marked down by pen
Silently she stood
Letter clasped close to her breast
Thinking what to write

She drew me a picture of the monster she dreamed up, did Lil Princess…
Don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t mind a visit from this particular monster… If he got particularly aggressive, I’d just eat him!
A ‘downut’ (donut/doughnut) head
A ‘clare’ (an eclair) body
‘Kit cat’ (KitKat) arms
‘Jaffa cake legs
‘Marsh mellow’ (marshmallow) feet…
It’s coming up to Halloween… I’d play a nasty trick on him, and give myself a tasty treat!!! Yum!!!
The only scary thing would be the lbs I may put on, def-eating the monster!!!
