In a bun dance

If I'm going to get something, I usually get it in spades - luck (both kinds), children, clutter, dirty laundry, bright ideas, daft ideas...

Find inspiration, she said – 100 words

January 2, 2024 By Ellen

Find inspiration, she said Hello! I don’t know what you look like. I’m over here. I can’t see you. Give me a sign. There. Did you get it? No, only a leaf tumbling, and some scampering. That was me. Show yourself. Are you a squirrel? No. Or only sometimes, then I’m a bird, or a […]

Day One – 100 words

January 1, 2024 By Ellen

Day One You have arrived, inevitable as hunger. A stranger with a suitcase of mysteries, neatly folded. But we aren’t friends. Yet… Does it matter if my welcome is cool? Or my star-lit arms opened with fanfare? Will you execute a plan, detailed and deliberate, or will cruel whimsy buffet me? Must I barter with […]

Resolution – 100 words

December 31, 2023 By Ellen

New year: new you. What’s wrong with the old me, the current me? The me that hurt, and worked on it, and fell apart. Put back together. Kept going. Achieved the things that, with your try-harder, get-better whip cracking, you want me to leave behind. In the old year, like the broken bauble and the […]

Light Show – 100 words

November 10, 2023 By Ellen

Light Show   They’re putting up the town decorations again – a giant gift, angel and stars all folded on the lorry. 45 days to go and the twinkling of jingles and holly is already scratchy. All I Want For Christmas is not to hear this song every time I prowl the aisles. The men […]

What? – 100 words

November 6, 2023 By Ellen

What?   I have my best ideas on the move – in the car, the forest path, the check-out queue. I often tie a knot in the thought and let it cling like a burr where the very importance of it scratches my brain though I never keep a note of little details like what […]

5th November – 100 words

November 5, 2023 By Ellen

5th November   Scorching faces, freezing bums. The Gunpowder Plot 1605. An effigy in your old jumper writhes and tumbles into the orange where ghosts of older blazes tangle in the smoke. As you gather half-hot and brave against the shadows, invisible eyes are watching from the inky chill. The darkness behind you is so […]

August 21, 2023 By Ellen

If you’re walking around exhausted every day and feeling like you are walking with your head in the clouds it’s probably because you’re not getting enough. Sleep allows you to function properly and when you’re not getting enough of it, it won’t be long before your body starts rebelling against you.    This rebellion can […]
