Due to recent events, ouija boards are no longer permitted on the patio
It was one of those crooked little pubs where every eye swings towards you when you walk in, and even a man of average height needs to duck his head to avoid braining himself on the beams.

Sexy Lemon Drizzle
Lemon drizzle used to be my favourite. Unfortunately, I can never have this as a treat when I'm out anymore, because whatever they give me is never as good as this bad boy I can whip up at home. Sigh.

It's Coming
I remember the last time I got a really good night's sleep. I wish I'd known it was the last. I'd have appreciated it more.

Sporting Chance: Reflections on A Story Every Day So Far (October Edition)
It's November already. Two things occur to me about November. One: it's been nearly a whole year since I put my little book of stories out into the world. Two: I'm in the penultimate month. I'm so close to the home stretch I can bloody well taste it.

Friendzone Frankie
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a woman in the public eye garners respect, if not in direct correlation to her level of attractiveness, then on a sort of bell curve.

Reflections on the Sky-ku Challenge
I loved the variety of this challenge. I had lots of reads to catch up on, so, selfishly, I also loved that I could return a read so quickly. If not for the glut of haikus, I might not have caught up.

Come and See
I was making coleslaw when the portal opened. Have you ever noticed how beautiful a cabbage is? Especially the red ones. Which are actually purple, but perhaps that is a debate for another day. All those lines. All that symmetry. Gorgeous.

Dollar Challenge - Dead Inside But Caffeinated (October/November edition)
It's that time again! First of all, here's the challenge I set for October: Here's the prompt: Only in our dreams are we free. The rest of the time, we need wages. -T. Pratchett

Tortured Soul
Otherworldly lights winked in the freezing mist swirling off the river. It's beautiful. Sometimes. Like, when she's standing on the bridge with a partner. Sharing warmth. Belly full of an expensive meal, limbs lubricated by a bottle of wine. Cheeks blushed by the cold.

Glamour
There's a new neighbour at the end of the street. Her only concession to the season is a single pumpkin on her doorstep. The kids have been watching the decorations go up on all the houses for days. Fake cobwebs, plastic bats, coffins, tombstones, skeletons and (obviously) jack o'lanterns. The house at the end looks dull by comparison.

Would You Think I Was Strange
They move, you know. When I'm not looking. If I look the other way, or blink, or (oh god no) fall asleep. When I open my eyes, they're closer than before.
