For those of you joining SoCS for the first time, it’s a little different than the other prompts in that it’s not always a whole or single word. If you’re joining in from JusJoJan, don’t want to write stream of consciousness style, no worries. It’s up to you! If you do want to try it, please check out the rules below. It’s fun! Here’s your Saturday prompt:
Your prompt for #JusJoJan the 28th and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “throw in the towel.” Use the phrase “throw in the towel” somewhere in your post. Enjoy!
Throw in the Towel
To give up to concede When it is too difficult To slow your pace give up the lead When the going gets tough Shrug your shoulders and say enough When you can no longer duck the punches. The gym implodes you can do no more crunches. That job has taken so long it makes you scowl. Give up, give in, throw in the towel.

Family : well Mum met Dad and they fell in love. Not only were they from different ends of the social scale but he was catholic and she a protestant but somehow they overcame the odds and had a life long loveafair, nine children six of whom six survived. I was the youngest, I had three sisters and two brothers to look up too. Now I have told you all many tales of my family life and how Mum and Dad taught us all good family and christian valves.
First there was me then I met you We united and that made us two Growing close we became one Then a new life came along We became two plus one. Moving on and we soon had another one Our total rising up to four A nice round figure, then along came one more! Our numbers added up to five Our youngsters keep us alive. Five was our sum for a long while Then number five met number six and that Made us all smile. So there we stayed for a while. Not quite the same as before Different for all, then suddenly we find there is one more! So here we are at seven All is good and seems like heaven. We all learn new roles and tricks As grandparents and uncles we enter the mix. We just get it off all pat When number eight lands on the mat! So here we are a family of eight There may be more and that will be great.
Then there is my Blogging Family all of you who I love and lots of whom I have met at the Bloggers Bash. I have written about you all too my bloggily. Photos of some of you, those still with us some sadly gone. If you are not there you still count , you are all important to me.💜

Well its quite a while since I have picked up a paint brush either to decorate or create a piece of art.( I use that term loosely😊). I have lots of fun watching my grandsons paint and I have lots of their works of art. Anyway that is me for today.

If you’d like to see what I have so far on your prompt list and what’s to come, you can find it HERE.
Phantom, that’s a neat word, it can refer to pregnancy, symptoms, people, creatures, ghosts and the supernatural.
The Lloyd/ Webber musical and film are among my favourite stories and the music 🎶 and singing are amazing. I thought though let’s go sideways and listen to Nightwish a Heavy metal, symphonic metal, power metal group from Finland, with female Dutch singer Floor Jansen. Floor has an amazing voice she can sing soprano with a range of more than three octaves (C3 to F6). As well as rasping rock and heavy metal.
The male singer Marko Tapani Hietala so has a fantastic voice though not operatic in the real sense but with power depth and feeling and brilliant diction. I hear ever word from both singers.
Just look at how they have the young audience in their hands,bmoving them and showing them how opera and metal can mix.
Did I say how much I like long hair on a guy?
To finnish ( do you see what I did there?) An acrostic poem .
Phantom
Phantasmagorical sights Hold you under their spell Alluring spectres give your desires flight Night terrors drag you to hell Tormenting your mind and soul Only to leave you naked while Macarbre creatures eat you whole

If you’d like to see what I have so far on your prompt list and what’s to come, you can find it HERE.“
I used to work in Customer Services in a large supermarket, I had to deal with all sorts of complaints, difficult customers, visitors and queries… Not mention take orders for party food and cakes and at Christmas, Turkeys and Geese! Easy one hand tied behind your back stuff!
Well you would not believe some of the daft things we had to deal with. EG : Lady wearing Barbour Jacket and headscarf throws any empty egg carton at me . ” These eggs all cracked when I boiled them ” she screeched! I replied that eggs do crack when they are boiled occasionally. “WRONG!” She replied “they never crack when I boil then! ” I will not bore you with what happened next but in the end I gave her a refund and another box of eggs! I also had to smile at her and apologise for her inconvenience??
Another day a woman came up to the desk and told me that her husband had been in at the weekend and a cashier has been rude to him. I asked if she had the receipt so I could see which cashier had served him. …. Imagine my delight when she handed me a bill for the Local Tesco’s … I smiled sweetly and said sorry madam but the incident did not happen here.
I got thing’s wrong too, one evening we were checking the returns .. ” who dealt with this prepacked Colli ” the supervisor asked, I said I had. “what did you do for the customer ” she asked sounding irritated. I told her I had done as always given her a replacement and a refund. She almost smiled. “Great , they are from Marks and Spencer’s” we did all chuckle !
I won’t go on but below is an Acrostic Nonet about the time a man came in and thrust a bunch of flowers into my face. ” They don’t smell, they are seven days old and were guarantied for ten day. ” … what could I do apart from smile? Yes a refund and a new bunch of flowers!
