Thursday was yesterday which means it time for Maggie and Lauren’s join venture.
It’s Lauren’s choice for this week’s prompt for Throwback Thursday : Going to the Movies.
Do you remember specific times you went to indoor movies or drive in theatres?
We didn’t have drive in Movies in the U.K. until very recently and as yet I have never been to a drive in movie!
Do you remember the first time for either?
The first film I can remember seeing as a child was when my mum took me to see Snow White , the original Disney version. It was truly the most wonderful thing I had ever seen.
I believe I went to see “A man for all seasons” a fantastic historical film set in the court of Henry VIII and the man for all seasons in question was Thomas Moore. Our convent was a five minute walk from the cinema so we all walked upon crocodile formation.🐊
Do you remember going with friends and not parents?
I remember going to the cinema with a girl friend or friends we usually went to see pop star films . We saw “Catch us if you can” starring the Dave Clarke Five, “Hold on” starring Herman’s Hermits. There were other films but I really can’t remember them 😊
Please share one or more experiences about going to the movies.
My sister Frankie took me to see Westside story again I was totally enthralled by the sing and dancing I loved it.
I must of been to the cinema in my courting days with hubby but I can’t remember…. I can remember more recent trips but not early ones. I also remember us taking the boys and often their friends to cinema : Star Trek, Star Wars, Flash Gorden (that was fun) A film where we all stood up and cheered!
and took the children to many more!
I also remember hubby and I and friends going to see Brave Heart…we stood and cheered at his speech before the battle and I don’t think there was a Scottish person in the cinema!
As I say there have been many many more and concerts too 💜💜

LindaGHill our host said. : “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “hat/het/hit/hot/hut.” Choose one, choose ’em all, put ’em in your post. Enjoy!”
As there were five words I have chosen to write an off the cuff Tanka with one of the words in each of the five lines.

Black cat in swish hat
Het up for lack of his mat
He’d taken a hit
Hot to trot he thought to split
From the hut roof he jumped splat.

Jo had awful teeth
The overbite was a fright
Just to talk caused grief
One look, the dentist took flight
X-rays caused such disbelief.

Chelsea Owens has challenged us to have some fun. Rule one below.
Seasons are changing. The Theme is a funny haiku (or, more technically accurate, a senryu) about seasonal change. Spring, fall, summer, winter, autumn; whatever.

Days are getting short
Gaia’s tempers getting fraught
We just won’t be taught
All rules for this prompt can be found at Chelsea’s post.

Welcome to The Three Things Challenge.
For those of you unfamiliar with the challenge, every day Di at pensitivity101 lists three things that may, or may not, be related.
The challenge is to simply read the prompt and see where your creativity takes you, using one, two or all three words in your post. There are no restrictions regarding length, style, or genre apart from keeping it family friendly.
You can use the 3TC, #threethingschallenge or TTC as a tag and the logo if you wish
Your three things today are:
HOST
FUN
TIME
“Tonight your host is Ca Rona, she is delighted you could all come. She hopes you will have fun. Laughing, dancing, singing, smooching and kissing are the order of the night.
Ca has prepared all the food and drink for you to enjoy , every morsel touched by her personally.
So what’s the saying? Oh! Yes, ‘eat drink and be merry for tomorrow you die’ maybe not tomorrow but soon. Time is running out for you all.
Yes of course you can leave any time , go home to your families, go to work, go shopping, give everyone Ca Rona’s greetings. Tomorrow there’s a beach party your all welcome. Times a ticking …so is CA Rona.
sadly we can only blame ourselves.
Two sides to every story your actions have consequences.
This sombre piece was bought to you courtesy of pensivity101’s Three things challenge.

Frank gave us some great questions last week and now it’s my turn.
As regular readers know, between us we have kept the Fibbing Friday challenge going and thank you all for your support and participation.
Below are 10 questions, the answers to which are entirely up to you.
The idea though is to fib a little, a lot, tell whoppers, be inventive, silly or even outrageous, in your response as you evade the truth.
Write a post with your answers and tag it “Fibbing Friday” or #FibbingFriday, then link back to this post so that others can enjoy your them and maybe join in too!
