The Bag Lady

1. How organised are you? Do you plan ahead, take things as they come, or does it depend on the circumstances? Organized and yes and yes.

2. How many Christmas presents have you bought already? One.

3. Do you prefer a family gathering for special occasions, or just you and your significant other? Since I have no SO I prefer family gatherings always.

4. How many words do you think your pet understands? I don’t currently have a pet but I think animals in general know what we mean.

Share Your World 24th October

Looking at the clock after turning off the unceasing alarm, only to realize it’s barely dawn! Nevertheless I had to get out of bed, trudge to the bathroom and not willing to look in the mirror yet, splashed water on my face and held the towel up. Then I tossed it onto the counter and took the plunge—an early start because of the dreaded office get together at Starbucks.

It was about this time I heard the creaking of the stairs and saw a troubled arch of brows in my reflection. Could it be my Newfoundland, Charlie, my huge companion, or something else? I suddenly felt a wet nose on my leg and a sigh of relief. Charlie usually wakes me, but this morning I rose too early even for him.

“When her father dies, Eliza Scarlet finds herself facing a difficult choice. As an unmarried woman, she faces poverty without a husband to provide for her — unless she takes on the challenge of running her late father’s detective agency, which would be unthinkable for a respectable Victorian lady. Fortunately, she finds an unlikely partner in the unconventional Detective Inspector William Wellington of Scotland Yard, known as “The Duke,” and the pair begin to tackle the crimes and mysteries of Victorian London together.”

The salt seemed to lift off the waves, murmuring his grief and causing tiny bruises on his skin. He wondered if all the tears of ancestors made up the depths of oceans. He stood at the edge of the water, wishing it had all been a nightmare and the cool fresh breeze from the saltwater would wake him.

After, he stood with the others at the cemetery, the useless wants of his mind discarded, and faced the field of mourners. It was a short service and then he returned to the beach, letting more tears fill the sea.

I am not a horror fan but really liked the Netflix offering: “Mr. Harrigan’s Phone”, based on a short story by Stephen King. A teaser below, don’t read any further or watch trailer before watching. 😳. But of course I give you the trailer😁🙄

“When Mr. Harrigan dies, Craig, the teen who befriended and did odd jobs for him, puts his smart phone in his pocket before burial.”
