Ginger moggy
Like lemon marmalade
Hasty and zingy
Wide eyed and happy.
Bouncing like rubber
Heels kicking
Flying free
Ginger moggy
I wish I were thee…

Under the sink
Caught up – day 6, under the sink… With added characters because it’s really boring!
Cavers explore the underworld of the sink. Avoiding hidden eight legged hairy spiders…. Mixture of watercolours and black italic marker pen….
Swan and Cygnet
I remember
When you were an egg
I sat on you for weeks.
Then a fluffy brown chick emerged.
You were a handful,
with your siblings.
Sampling duck weed,
Chasing stickleback,
Bobbing up and down
While pike examined
your feet.
You could have been snapped up
By a fox or a stray dog.
But you grew
And grew
Fed by people
as well as your parents.
Your down is disappearing,
Soon you will be serene
White feathers sailing
Over the lake…..
And as the year ends..
The days will get colder
We will huddle more
Keep warm,
But open the windows!
Fight off illness
Be more thoughtful
Consider others
Work wirh people more
Avoid making Resolutions
Wait and see what happens
At least it won’t be 2020!
Commandments for today.
Thou shalt not
Meet more than one person from another household.
Travel from your tier to another tier
Visit relatives in nursing homes
Have a party for New Year’s Eve
Visit non essential shops
Buy too much toilet roll
Go out without a mask
Thou shall
Wear a mask
Wash your hands
Maintain a social distance
Buy just enough toilet roll
(well it has been a s***** year!)
Apologies if this is offensive.
23 eggs!
It was an offer I wasn’t going to refuse. I’ll go shopping said hubby. So I said just take one bag then you can’t buy too much.
Do you need a list? No I’ll be OK. Well don’t buy a roast chicken, just get some thighs. We don’t need a lot, just a few things.
I knew there was a problem when he carried in two huge bags of shopping. I’ve not got much space in the fridge.
He bought:
An amaryllis (we already have FOUR)
A loaf of bread (we already have one and two half used loaves).
Two torches and some batteries (to go with at least five he already has).
A bunch of flowers
A box of frozen haddock
Three tubs of olives,
A bag of spinach
A roast chicken
Beefburgers
Gammon steaks,
A beef joint
And fifteen eggs (to go with the eight he already bought yesterday).
When I asked why he had bought the eggs he said you can never have enough eggs!
Never too many
Books, books,
Glorious books
Never too many
For stirring the blood
So follow me
follow me
Up to the library
And there we
shall wallow
In glorious Books!
(after the song ‘Mud mud glorious mud’ by Flanders and Swann).
A nativity scene?
So, that’s two adults?
There is a donkey parking space.
Breakfast in the Nativity Restaurant.
Double bed, en-suite.
No smoking or vaping,
No visitors from afar allowed.
No ‘angelic hosts’ parties allowed.
Visur or Masterboard?
What do you mean ‘a child will be born’?
No we don’t do Frankincense or Myhrr facials.
Gold, well yes as an exception we will accept it.
You want how many towels, and hot water?
I’m sorry but your wife looks unwell.
We are not a maternity unit.
Sorry, we reserve the right to cancel your reservation.
The hospital is that way.
Merry Christmas.

Esther Chilton, who has a blog at WordPress, challenges us to write things to prompts. On a Monday it’s a limerick using a particular word (this week it was ‘Santa’ ) and then on a Thursday its telling a story in five words. The prompt today was ‘presents’.
I wrote these eight lines and included an eight letter word using the first letter of each line, just for fun.

Merry Christmas
Christmas owl?
Baubles and glitter
Owlish glass eyes
Tinsel and paper chains
Stationary supplies
Could be for Christmas
Could be for spring
Maybe for summer
A decorative thing….
What is this poem?
Totally daft
Owling not owing
Writing this draft.
