Daily writing prompt
What technology would you be better off without, why?

Do you remember actually having to get up and change channels. It was really quite nice. No Alexa, no funny rubber buttons and no scanning endless options. Plus you do at least 10 steps to get closer to your daily quota.

Those were the days.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.πŸ™

Getting out of bed this morning

Daily writing prompt
What’s the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make? Why?

This morning I made it yet again. It’s nice and possibly the start was a bit shaky and reluctant, but I did it.

I need my sleep!

Daily writing prompt
If you didn’t need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time?

I need my sleep and everyone who is fortunate enough to be able to sleep enjoys it too. Extra time is a misnomer, time is a constant and cannot be added to.

What it made extra is human perception.

What is a peeve?

Daily writing prompt
Name your top three pet peeves.

Apparently “a peeve” is a Scottish slang word for having a lot to drink ,going on a bender or getting blootered, although I’ve not heard that myself, but it’s alternative meaning and the one that the daily writing prompt refers to is something mildly irritating or that causes you a minor inconvenience.

I mean I think it’s healthy to express an outlet of irritation , so my top three peevish moments at the moment are.

Packaging on products that are just designed to be impossible to open. Cardboard, plastic , glue and flaps that rip rather than open. Hidden pieces of tape or sellotape that are impossible to lift with your fingernail and you have to go and get a scissors which inevitably are blunt.

Zips on dresses that I can’t do up myself and the hubby is in the shower and I have to wait until he comes out to get the zip pulled up and then he acts as if he’s doing me such a big favour and I have to wait until he dries himself thoroughly so he can get a good grip of the zip. Irritating!

The Sky TV remote, the buttons are funny and rubbery and never seem to work first time.

Hope you enjoyed, Namaste and Thank you for reading. πŸ™

They exist…..

Daily writing prompt
Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why?

Beaches and Mountain’s exist for some reason. So how can I , as a human on this planet and also part of a bigger Universe justify having a preference for one over the other?

They are both wonderful and inspiring and everyone should have access to their beauty without destroying their beauty and the habitat of those that live within their ecosystems.

Do we include the animals?

Daily writing prompt
What are your family’s top 3 favorite meals?

Well as my family include a dog, a rabbit and a human.

The favourite meals are sirloin steak( the dog), complete rabbit food and soup ( any soup but particularly leek and potato for the human).

Apologies if you think this is a bit weird, and that the dog insists on sirloin steak, but this is just how it is.

If…

Daily writing prompt
If you could meet a historical figure, who would it be and why?

What If? Well I can’t ,perhaps I’m a nihilist to some, but then again I just think that although I enjoy reading about history, or inevitably someone else’s interpretation of history; I cannot pretend that there is a benefit of creating my own meeting with one of those long gone protagonists. Although I may have tried in the past. Though I wouldn’t go so far as to enter into a sΓ©ance

Today however the challenge for me with history, is interpretation of fact over fiction, and that I must say is enlightening but can be trying. So to everyone past and present ( even the wicked ones) I say thank you, for we build on information, but really I don’t need to sit down and have tea with you.

Namaste and thank you for reading.πŸ™
