Pingbacks don’t always work so leave your link in the comments so that I can respond to you directly and other bloggers can read your writings. Why not check out some of theirs while you’re there!
The challenge goes out around 6.00 am UK time, but pingbacks may not show immediately as they have to be approved manually and sometimes I’m late accessing my blog. I will get there, I promise!
Looking forward to reading your responses.

Your final three words for this week are:
HUMID
HOAX
HORRIBLE

“I can’t stand this horrible humid weather!” Sharon was tired all the time and had no energy to even make dinner. Her husband always thought there was a conspiracy of some kind going on, and remarked, “Don’t worry my dear, it won’t last long, Snopes declared it a hoax!”

MTB: A revisit with the Cherita

“Yes, I can do Pilates”, demonstrating the plank exercise to the critically bold stranger. Later, Velvet and her husband were relaxing at home. Velvet took the vintage teapot, adorned with a dove, filled their cups. “It’s wonderful having you be my gladiator when that rude person challenged my ability. He saw the scab healing on my shin and decided I can’t do certain exercises. Thanks for sticking up for me.”

Can You Tell A Story In…

She kept the clock running backward, just to see which regrets would return first. It was an annual event, curse, helpful advice, could be either/or, determined by how she reacted. Suddenly the night before, on New Year’s Eve, and the clock was still running correctly forward, she saw the image of herself. Standing on the edge of the bridge, teetering on the railing, her mind full of regrets. Deciding to jump or not, she chose not. Promising herself that the next day, start of the new year, she would watch the clock and renew faith in herself. Curling up on her sofa, the clock spun the regret visions as she vowed to change. Her disposition would now be to throw the clock when it was finished, and never use such a device again. A bright more caring and knowledgeable future ahead.

Reena’s Xploration Challenge #393

we want our burdens to be lighter

we want our future to be brighter

doesn’t matter who is the righter

relationships broken need to be tighter

separating families – tell me you’re a fighter

the administration is a being a blighter

it’s time for all inciters

To act!

#Easy Peasy Writes – 8/6/25

“Coffee, tea, or me?” Shari said coquettishly as she slid out of the kitchen banquette.
“Do I have to choose? I would love all three but in reverse order.” Jerry approached his wife and placed a big kiss on her cheek. He was late getting dressed for the office again, but never could just get out of bed and leave. His wife was a seductress and he enjoyed every minute of her.
“Well I guess you’ll have to wait in the car, because it’s my turn to dress.”

8 August 2025

Well this morning, after another no sleep night, my motivation involved a pounding on my door at 6:30. I had no idea who it was but might be a package I had to sign for, but at 6:30??? I got up and went to the door, no one there and then found a handwritten paper shoved under my other door. It was a notification of games being played at 4:00 pm. 🙄😵‍💫🤨😳. Otherwise, coffee motivates me.
