Shit! That’s Gaz over there. He mustn’t see me like this. Oh my God! I don’t even know how he got into those jeans. I can see the bulge of his iPhone. He’s looking my way. Stay busy with the cart, keep my hood up, pick the big brush. He’s never going to recognise me.

Monthly competition: April passed unnoticed, and I had @Seagreen remind me I’d set a competition (my head down, editing) so watch this space for whatever theme @Seagreen sets, and please, please make the effort both for her and to keep the flame alive!!

Good heavens!! What happened to April? I completely forgot I’d set a competition, was somewhat startled to discover it was May, but I do like this – rings some bells since, apart from invisible, April seems to have been a retrospective month, for more than me.

Thank you @Athelstone and @seagreen. Also thanks @Janette for a prompt which enabled me to try out a reason for a murder.

Using a tried and trusted formula, I’d like you to start with the opening line of track 11 from Arab Strap’s ‘As days get dark’ and take it wherever you will. Maximum word count 350 please, deadline Friday 30th April.

Wow. Thank you Janette, I’d relaxed, confident of having been entertainingly pipped at the post. Will drag myself from editing and see what I can come up with.

Understatement of the year!

Thank you Jane – and Kate and Raine – it’s always good to get positive feedback, and Carol’s was more incisive that I could have managed. (I’m still grinning)
