Thanks Seagreen. Glad you laughed. Well, Terrie, there’s a coincidence. I’ve barely been able to write for the last month having been fitting our new kitchen. Completely new from top to bottom including having to rebuild joists under the floor and fit a kitchen to an accuracy of 1mm per metre. As I’ve never done anything to that accuracy except by…[Read more]

I popped in a few times but sorry, didn’t  managed to post  anything for  the monthly comp . I’ve been really busy sorting and emptying  the kitchen  as sparkly new  units,   sink  and other  gizmos  are being fitted in the new  year. the old one is over 20 years old  and it’s turned into a major refit having to  move pipes, wiring  and other thin…[Read more]

Sea,  I well remember, a couple of years ago admiring your shorter haircut when you picked me up at Markinch station, Promise I wasn’t thinking of the competition we might meet at Craigievar! I did hope to do something more inspired for this great prompt, but ran out of mental space, so well done Ath.

I’m not surprised by this. For some time there have been AI editing features available with Prowritingaid, Grammarly and so on. I have the former, and although I seldom use the AI features, some of which are behind an additional paywall, I have given them a spin in the past. What you get from one of the reports does appear to be a reasonably…[Read more]

Brighton man grows hair for five years for special reason.

I remember the blonde hair on the windowsill. My hair’s brown, so it must have come from Taz. Her hair is, or was, I should say, long, and rich, and blonde. Curious, I ran my fingers through my hair a few times and then examined what had come loose. Not a lot,…[Read more]

Looks very promising. I shall be donning the headphones when I set about cooking dinner.

This is not my take on the headline, but I’ve posted it here because I could not come up with anything more ludicrous.

Thank you for setting Octobers comp, Knicks.

I enjoy seeing  how  differently  we  all approach  the monthly challenges. this months were wonderfully varied.

Congratulations to Seagreen  for  such an atmospheric winning  offering.

Congratulations to Seagreen, and to everyone else who supplied an entertaining and impressive piece to October’s comp. And to Knicks for setting it,

Heya lovelies,

Apologies for the day-late decision making. I’ve been oout and aboout with my egg, enjoying our midterm break from work and school, and foolishly saved the reading until the final day of the month because I wanted to take in each piece at the same time, rather than read as submitted, and also to give everyone who could, a chance to…[Read more]

Darn it! Missed it! A fab selection though.

Apologies, Knicks, I’m not going to submit anything this month – torn three ways with something that will not knit.

A rhyming effort  from me for this challenge 

<u>All in my head</u>

Emotion, bright as a shooting star, trails across the bowl of dark-light, caught

crackling and spluttering, straining against the speckle and spackle of midnight thought.

 I feel it drift, almost mutely, into a cascade of unspoken dreams, tumbling, and falling

slowly, into an…[Read more]
