Day 20 & Thursday Doors 20/4/23: Aliens and little men

This prompt came just in time. I had a similar thought last week on my visit to Slovenia. But what was it that I saw? What spurred it on? Prompt 20: Have you ever heard someone wonder what future archaeologists, whether human or from alien civilization, will make of us? Today, I’d like to challenge

Day 14

Today it’s 10 years since I moved to Tuscany from Slovenia for love, but the poems – the one I chose and the one I wrote – reach further back. Prompt 14: Today, I challenge you to write a parody or satire based on a famous poem. It can be long or short, rhymed or

Day 22 & CFFC: Water

Yes, I am one, I am drawn to every kind of water and whenever I was asked what I wished to do in life I replied: “I wish to live by the sea.” Here it is, a 12-km sandy beach less than 2 km away. For almost nine years I’ve been living in the south

Five challenges

Welcome! Windows, seats, trios, Which Way, and six words await. But first, a revelation: 101 blogs. That many I follow by email. And I counted only those that have been active in the last month. Imagine. True, not all of you post daily but still, that’s a lot of email notifications to follow through. I

Sitting trios

I found the three chairs below in my archives and thought that today was a good day to combine two challenges, Thursday Trios and Pull up a Seat. Only then I thought of 3×3 chair basketball. While the three chairs are from last summer, all the rest are from a single occasion in 2018 when
