Calling the Bluff
Dan Williams said:

I almost hesitate to say in this judgmental world, but I am also armed to the teeth. Better to have it and not need it...

Paranoia perpetuates protectiveness prodigiously providing proactively piled ‘ponry. Please add the ‘wea’ only when fully provided.

Well since you asked, there is a immature delusional maniac running for the office only someone of mature competence is allowed to enter. Have taser, straight jacket and men in white coats ready for acquisition. 🙄

Dark, sad and haunting casting a shadow over the landscape. Whether personal or not I felt it.

Sounds like someone that one would say \'Hello\' to, and get the reply \'What do ya mean hello? I will punch ya on the nose for saying that!\'\'

Having watched all the 007 flicks, yes, you Brits would say that. Since there\'s always more than one way to skin a cat, I think I\'ll leave it at that. Sweetly rendered in to the point brevity with fascinatingly telling details and a none too subtle poignancy, thank you very much for sharing.

I am out of range. But I will watch it for sure. I had a chuckle over that one, Neville

I hear just a bit of touchiness in this. I better measure my words well in this comment and may already have stepped over my bounds. I always sleep with a machete under my pillow, just in case

Fine words Neville but love takes it beyond not being loved.

Clean Sheets
Doggerel Dave said:

It’s like you tore a page out of my nonexistent diary:
Regular visits, always clean sheets.. Good with zero emotional commitment. Then one Saturday another male already there. Coffie round well used kitchen table inherited from her mother. All cool. He seemed like good guy. Same language of origin; obvious empathy between. Left after coffee. Perhaps all he knew of me was a casual neighbor passing the time of day……. Best wishes to her, she was lovely.

Remembering An Orange Room
Cheeky Missy said:

Correct me iffen I\'m mistaken, but the reference specifically to an orange room seems reminiscent of the \'60\'s or \'70\'s, rendering this delightful tribute to former days all the more winsome. Frankly, having considered it further I\'m reminded of my long since departed adopted grandmother\'s house-- the walls were a rather garrish purple and green. That aside, this is beautifully rendered with a gently haunting poignancy and excellent details. Thank you so very much for sharing.

The things that we don\'t know until too late and how they make changes in things that could have been or things that become. Sad story my friend a bit haunting.

Thinking Back on Polly
Cassie58 said:

Remembering Polly, and also introducing her tragically short life to your readers. It is hard to comprehend sometimes just how cruel life can be. You lost a lovely young friend before she had time to fully bloom. This morning, another young boy 15 years old was knifed to death. More devastated family and friends. Dear Neville, a most poignant write. On a school bus. ……..A rose from me 🌹

Completely agree, Neville. Things have moved on so quickly, but not for the better. A fine write.

This a case study, Neville? When ‘sliding doors’ becomes a matter of life or death, then it is more than even a tragedy.

I wonder it our ancesters spoke of the times before fire? I often look back on (those days) and just feel happy that I was able to live them. I got the feeling Neville and have to agree
