There is no Perfect Space

You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like?

Reality is there is no perfect space, there are always irritants. The light is wrong, the boiler blew up , your perfect room has no heating. The red marker has exploded all over your desk and stained your favourite napkin which you use to wipe your lips after slurping your home made soup for lunch. Today you forgot to defrost the soup so not only is your bright white napkin covered in bright red blobs , but you have no lunch.

The battery on your lap top is dying, you have unpaid bills and your cat has just decided to poo in the corner as you forgot to clean out the litter tray downstairs.

The cleaner left in disgust three weeks ago and the windows are beginning to rattle as the frames are rotting due to condensation and the force 10 gale outside.

Your ideal writing space that once was, is desolation, however, there is one thing that will never change, you have a notebook and you are jotting down ideas. Now that is perfection.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

What is your all time favourite Automobile?

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was a novel by Ian Fleming who also wrote the “James Bond novels” made into a film starring along with the Car , the now Centenarian Dick Van Dyke.

The Car took centre stage and would have to be my favourite automobile ever. Although Herbie the VW comes close.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

Little Hovel

Daily writing prompt
Who are the biggest influences in your life?

So what are the biggest influences in my life? Are they who’s or what’s? I think they are both. They are both part of my D.N.A and also part of my experience.

But Little Hovel, is my home and it’s where I can be myself and not have intrusions or distractions that modern life thrusts upon us. Perhaps my D.N.A and my experience taught me that Little Hovel is where the heart is.

Oops I did it again

Share what you know about the year you were born.

Are you kidding, do you think I’m going to tell( or share as you so empathetically put it) with an AI prompt my year of birth so you could can add it to your ever increasing digital database. What do you think? I was born yesterday? Well I wasn’t! And no I wasn’t born in the year that the wonderful Britney Spears had her hit record dressed as a schoolgirl , so don’t try to be clever. It just seemed a good title.

Hope your algorithm explodes with misnomers.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading. 🙏

Sylvester or Tweetie Pie

Are you a good judge of character?

No matter how bad Sylvester was he was still my favourite. Poor Tweetie Pie, her intelligence, her understanding all went by the wayside, but thankfully she always got the better of that naughty cat Sylvester.

Golden Glow

When are you most happy?

We can choose to ignore it , we can choose not to believe in it, but the truth is it is there.

Good people create warmth and caring, they do not try and break each other to move onto the next goal, they do not profit from another’s lack of resource to cope with whatever is thrown at them. They see what is needed and try and improve the status quo so that the unnecessary suffering is stopped

Yes there is much ill in this world but there is more good and that good makes me happy when I feel it’s golden glow. It is there and you have to learn to appreciate it and be influenced by it.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading. 🙏

Walk the dog.

Daily writing prompt
What was the last thing you did for play or fun?

I walked my dog, has to be done very regularly and it’s fun. Why get a dog if you are not going to have fun with him/her.

List your top 5 grocery store items.

Listing my top 5 grocery items, might just give away too much . Am I a healthy eater? Do I have a biscuit fetish? How often to I do the washing up? Do I use toilet rolls regularly enough. Seriously I think there are things better left unsaid and details not spread over the internet.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏
