Morning!

Have been battling a headache since yesterday. Sucks. The weather here is miserable so I’m assuming that’s the culprit. Hoping for some relief when the thunderstorms push through this afternoon. Anyways, enough whining. Better than a hangover.

It’s awfully quiet in here. Hope everyone is doing well!!

I am off to do the required adulting now. A Starbucks stop is definitely required.

Happy Monday!!

That sucks Sam- hope your 'dache goes.
Finished my critique - sent it in (e/m) with an example of my 'creative writing', from the group of same name. This is to provide them with evidence I can use words..as that is what arty people do.

Bet it's awesome PJ....as always, I would love to read.

Awww Sam, I thought about you all day yesterday....I looked up your weather, couldn't find a 45 but hey, it got way over 35 here and once again the humidity is 90% or more when I wake up....open the door and BOOM.....you almost get knocked out.

I had a massive cry about this yesterday afternoon....more like a tantrum actually....I cannot live in this weather. So I looked up Melbourne's humidity...and saw the same thing is happening there. The humidity is just going crazy.

Hope your headache is going..... ♥♥

An example of my 'creative writing'.

AVAST! There be terror.

There he sat on the floor in the shadow of the lounge. He knew from experience this vantage

allowed him a view of the front porch without being seen by any one outside. It was only a matter

of time until HE came. He would hear the crunch of crushed stone on the path leading to the

front door. This would be accompanied by the soft, incessant whistling, there was always whistling.


How had this situation gone so far? He and the man used to be mates. They would drink, laugh

and shout at the world. Together they solved the world's problems and were experts on every sport

on tele. They were thick as thieves and many jealous blokes at the pub would talk of their

'bromance'. They were untouchable. No one could challenge their mate-ship.


The terror climbed up his spine, freezing his thought and turning his bowels to water. He knew it

was coming, it was inevitable. The mate-ship had soured and been replaced with fear and disdain.

He was coming.

Slowly the seconds passed, only punctuated by the hypnotic rhythm of the carriage clock that sat on

the mantle – tick tock, tick tock. Outside the cacophony of suburban sounds dwindled into

meaningless white noise. Hyper vigilance was his watch word. His heightened senses aligned with

the inevitability of fate. The man was coming and he had a debt to pay.

The man was coming to have his due.

The gravels crunches and the whistling frames his mind. The man steps up on the front porch and

bangs slowly on the wooden door with the pendulous rhythm of a heart beat, lub dup, lub dup.

The man calls out

' COME ON MATE! You knew this day would come! YOU NEED TO PAY!!'



And that was the start of it. The terror of mateship and obligation. No deed comes without a price.

The Tupperware man was here.

See, now I would have gone with the Avon Man. That's only because I was in the presence "Tupperware parties" as a child. It was many years later that I realized how bizarre that was, to me anyway. It's a good product, but...

Good stuff, PJ!

or amway...or the pyramid schemes that in their glossy brochures say- look at this lady, she is her own boss and earns lots of buckets of money. They sell motivation books. Then it turns out the way to get rich- is to work 120 hours a week- by getting other people to sell books to other people on how to motivate yourself.
