Sasha’s back with the second prompt for #Writespiration.
Your challenge is to write your story using the weekly theme/prompt and write it in just 52 words…. EXACTLY, no more, no less.
Submit your entries in the comments or on a blog post and I post them the following week with the new prompt. You have until Sunday to enter.
This week’s prompt is to write about the badly timed trump!!
So… here goes…
She could feel the pressure building.
The music was loud. Surely letting one go wouldn’t hurt…
They slipped out to the beat of Beyonce’s latest release.
Relief.
Last one.
Out it came, loud and proud, as the dj faded the tune out so the Groom, her new husband, could start his speech.
There you go Sacha!!!!

Something silly today. I just got myself hooked on Instagram this summer, and use it to post photos of my food and cat! But as I scroll down my followed peeps, sometimes I do get this feeling…
“Ouch, I hurt my finger…Quick, can I catch that ‘sorry for me pout’ for my Insta?”
I sometimes find it hard to comprehend why we need selfies for every emotion, sometimes 10 times a day! But then, I have done it (only once or twice!)… so I can’t comment!
Incidentally,if you fancy following … you can find me on Instagram at @phantom_giggler!

Another from the archives but you know you need a Sonu Singh fix!
Cats, funny things they are…
Take the lovely Sonu Singh. Since he was a new kitty in our family, he’s found the strangest places to chill/fall asleep. I see articles and posts about other cats and their ‘beds’ of choice so thought I’d put one together of this crazy cat too!
1)
My trusty steed will protect me!
He camouflaged himself there, I didn’t know where he was until he poked his little head out!
2)
I’m a great gift!
Thanks to lil princess, he ended up in a gift bag, but loved it so much…
Hmmm, this is actually quite comfy!
…he fell asleep!
3)
Primarni bags! the greatest!
Love me a good paper bag!
4)
I wanna go to school too!
Though Lil Man’s school bag is a close second!
5)
The latest toy!
Buy me! You know you want to!
6)
Fish n chips! Where are they?
Someone smelled our dinner!
7)
If I fits, I sits!
Any old box!
8)
They look like they are having so much fun, when the little people are in here… why does it not feel the same now??
Bath tub!
9)
Wrap me!
He’d be a great gift (not that we’re giving him to anyone!)
10)
Unravelling my doormat!
Then doing his usual…hmmm so comfy!
Love me a good duvet!… this ones a bit itchy though…
11)
I love a good book!
Read me! Read me!
12)
Am cat, can balance, chill out Mum!
See??!!
Experimenting with his balancing…
And there are so many more, I could bore you for hours!
I’ll leave that for another instalment!
Hope you enjoyed getting to know Sonu Singh a little more!

This last week, amongst other things, My dear Lil Man decided that it would be a good idea to get concussed by a stray football!
On Thursday I got a call from his friend’s mum (He goes there after school and I pick him up from there) to say he was in a bad way, crying and headachey because of a hit to the head.
Obviously I left work ASAP and rushed to get him. A couple of years ago he got hit on the nose quite hard by another ball, and was concussed then too.
The boy was a mess. Tears flowing from a severe headache, but he was not compliant about getting checked out.
We agreed that if he woke in the morning with a headache, then Daddy would take him to the hospital to get checked.
Obviously, that was what had to happen. His temperature was up, and he was still suffering from a severe headache.
The Dr said he needed to refrain from any contact sport for a minimum of 3 weeks.
So, no football on Saturdays this side of Christmas, and PE at school would need t be limited. His only concern was that he wanted to be able to play badminton! Luckily the Dr said that should be ok!
We have been lucky enough to have my Precious Pops and Mum here for the weekend, and Pops is a Reiki healer, amongst other things.
So he worked his magic on Lil Man this morning too!
He said he thought it was funny when Nanu tickled him. Pops had to explain that he only touched his forehead once… the rest was the energy from the Reiki!
Not to be left out, Lil Princess also had a session as she has this lingering cough…
She said she could really feel the warmth in her chest as he performed the Reiki!
And talking of Lil Princess and her cough… Nanu/Pops always has remedies for things, but you know kids, they don’t like these natural, strange tasting concoctions. I said he could try and convince her, and I would be happy to make it if she agreed!
Their conversation went a little like this…
Sitting here listening to Pops trying to convince my daughter about drinking warm milk with turmeric and honey… good luck Pops!
Pops:”You know sometimes the things that taste good aren’t good for you and the things that taste bad are good for you.”
Sim:”Sweets are yummy and good for you. I eat them”!
Pops:”We’ll they aren’t really good for you…”
Sim: shrugs shoulders and continues playing games Robloks!Hmmm… I wonder what the answer will be when I ask her to drink some later???
