Gorgeous, rich Ferrero flavoured gelato from Topolino Gelateria in Wodonga, Victoria.
I so wanted to renege on the promise I’d made myself not to eat that 500ml tub of gorgeous, rich, Ferrero gelato. And I’m so proud that I held out.
I did eat the 1L tub of Mango/Lemon Meringue, which made me so happy and yet, really shit too!

Weekend Writing Prompt #183
We call her the kid-wrangler
We watch, she smiles, as she gathers her class
Thirty-plus students, not one smart-arse
We watch with pride, swallow envy
Our own cattle prods, held at the ready

Drunkenly, I wend my way across the dancefloor
Tentatively, I reach for the door; it moves.
Blearily, I tried to decipher what is happening.
And then realise. Ah, a revolving door.
Not supernatural. Not just drunkenness.
A lucid explanation.
Now, to navigate through.
Weekend Writing Prompt #175 Megalith
The Megalith hums; vibrates
Preternatural; outside nature
It stands, immobile but reaching skywards
Unearthed, yet anchored.
Moss covered; blending
Of sandstone, bluestone, granite
Of limestone, basalt, marble
Solid, unyielding, impervious
Ritual and superstition
Hold communities in awe
Engages curiosity
Pulses elevate
Living history is here
Standing stones
Alone; breathing
If I had the chance to rectify
slights, and errors, mistakenly taken
If I would, if I should, could I follow through?
If it meant being held accountable? Would I face the music?
Could you?

Enid Lane.
Sounds innocent enough.
Backyard access to homes in your standard residential neighbourhood.
Bituminised road. Pot-holed. Bedraggled. Innocuous.
Daily, residents access their garages, deliveries are made, walkers take shortcuts.
Nightly, it is avoided. Do not be out at night.
There is hearsay, myth, legend. About a corridor, passageway to a hinterland.
Stories whispered in coffee shops, in pubs. Tales passed within families.
Deal with the devil. Souls signed away.
Riches and pleasures await … for some.
For the rest, the deal’s gone wrong … End Lane.

Weekend Writing Prompt #159
Intrepid tumbler, aerialist elite
Flying and falling, fearless and free
Ropes a-climbing, rigorous display
Tackling obstacles, tramp and trapeze
Walking the wire, wowing the crowds
Intrepid performer, unflinching, unafraid
Pushing boundaries, body pummelled
Hoops and balls and ribbons in play
Crashing and flailing, into gracefulness
Beauty in motion. Winning, their way
for Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt where the given word is Abysmal and the word limit 93
How do we keep arriving at the same place?
Disrespect, intolerance, atrocity.
Anger, hate, war.
Should it be such an effort
to be sincere, kind, thoughtful
helpful, collaborative, inclusive
Our norm continues to be
Mistrustful, defensive, offensive
Fearful, fear mongering, belligerent
With the best of intentions and assumption of sincerity, I
Misdirect, deflect, protect
Hunker down, build a fence, assume offence
In my heart, I believe and hope that I am more than this
Respectful, hopeful, generous and inclusive
Open-minded, unassuming and impartial
But I am human. I am animal. I am too, Abysmal.
