What I have got but for everyone

Daily writing prompt
Write about your dream home.

I dream of a home for everyone, that has space, warmth and all the things that are needed to enjoy life alone or with family members. There has to be a garden and everything that is a basic human need , needs to be affordable and or repairable. Neighbors will be happy to see each other and help each other when needed.

Why can’t this be I really don’t understand, but I think it is a good dream to have

Anyone spot the AI generated mistake?

Jump around the Room and then go make a cup of Tea

Daily writing prompt
You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do?

I would jump around the room and then go make a cup of Tea and began to analyse whether the news was really that fantastic.

Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time?

One day a long time ago , I saw an article about Sky Diving, and I seriously thought , why not? Then more seriously I thought, what a way to go and decided against it.

Oh Heavens!

Daily writing prompt
Do you need a break? From what?

When I’m stuck with a prompt, I like to refer to a definition and a break can mean so many things.

So I’ll go with one of the verb meanings.

“separate or cause to separate into pieces as a result of a blow , shock or strain.”

I guess the answer is no I don’t need that. Sounds like it would hurt.

Same as Last Year ,Sir Tim Berners-Lee’s Internet

Daily writing prompt
The most important invention in your lifetime is…

Yes, I remember this prompt from last year and for me the answer will always be Sir Tim Berners- Lee who invented what we now know today as the Internet .He has continued to promote his original thought ,the Internet’s role is to improve communication of ideas.

Unfortunately , it also enabled the worse aspects of the human psyche to have access to an audience. This has had some tragic consequences and the Law has intervened in trying to control the Dantes Inferno of content. The lesson is perhaps that it is uncontrollable and that every individual has a responsibility to look and learn and be tolerant and respect each other. Only we can do that , outside forces cannot.

Ideally ideal

Daily writing prompt
Describe your most ideal day from beginning to end.

As usual for such an expansive prompt, I resort to a definition of Ideal.

“Existing only in the imagination; desirable or perfect but not likely to become a reality .”

How hard is that? Your ideal day is about as likely as winning the lottery, but perhaps that is just as well. We: if lucky enough to have a choice ,have many days to fill and we aren’t always so self aware as to make good use of them or perhaps because of others’ demands we do things for either money or necessity.

That’s life and it’s not ideal, nevertheless it can be interesting or fun, so let’s not get too much in a tizz about it.

Quite a lot or not at all

Daily writing prompt
How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life?

I’m sure everything has an impact on a person but depending on the situation and the personal qualities of that person , the effect can range from being barely noticed to totally life changing. I suppose it depends on their perspective at the time and whether other experiences over time have changed or developed. There are so many variables.

I lost my to-do list. If anyone finds it let me have it back please.

Daily writing prompt
Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done.

I was reaching into my handbag while I was out shopping , which I know was definitely on my to do list when a gust of wind from one of our recent storms, might have been the French one, blew my “to do list” straight out of the little nesting place it had found in between my phone and my purse. Why, you may ask, did I have a handwritten note? Yes, guilty, sometimes I scribble things on pieces of paper.

Anyway the” to do’s” disappeared into the stratosphere and for the life of me I cannot remember any of the tasks I was supposed to do. I know we still don’t have a spare key for the lock up garage, so that must have been on it as the hardware man in town does keys. The rest I haven’t got a clue.

Anything (Safely)

Daily writing prompt
What’s your favorite thing to cook?

Just to be able to cook is an achievement.

Which recipe from which book should I use? Where is my favourite whisk? Why does the blender smells of sour cream? I need to google how to make my own mayonnaise and my phone is out of charge. I don’t have enough eggs or limes so will have to go back out to the shops again. No I am not pre-heating the oven, it’s gas and reaches it’s temperature in minutes and I won’t be ready for hours.The washing up is mounting up as I cannot use the same spoon or knife due to cross contamination of flavours. Where is my tupperware container with the couscous? Is it safe to reheat this? Is it mould or just a skin?

Oh really my favourite thing is just to be able to cook.(safely)
