The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS Nov. 17/18

This week for #SoCs Linda G.Hill has given us the words Roll and Role to use for Stream of Consciousness Saturday.

“Roll with it” from Oasis one of my favourite songs from the Gallagher brothers and their mates.

Not only is it a great song but it reminds me of my middle son and his mates. They were all born circa 1975, as were most of the bands that are known as the Brit Pops.

It’s a call to arms, to roll with the blows of life, to fight for what you want, not letting anyone get in your way. To be the best you can.

My lad used to go to as many Oasis concerts as he possibly could. In his Parker coat, hands clasped behind his back and the rolling dance they all used to do. ( Watch the video you will see the lead singer, arms clasped behind back doing the rolling dance)

It was like he and his mates were in the role of mini Oasis’s !

To finish with here is another Roll with it. This time from Stevie Winwood very much my era and someone I met.

I met Stevie and the rest of the group when he was with the Spenser Davis group, at Top of the Pops at the BBC’S Lime Grove Studios.

That was in my role as Rock Chick, Stevie was five years older than me… In those days it seemed like 30yrs older than me!

#SoCS Nov. 10/18

This week LindaGHill said. “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “mean(s).” Use it with or without the “s,” any way you’d like. Have fun!”. So this week I decided to do a short Acrostic Poem.

Rules and Pingback Here.

Mean Acrostic

Mealy-mouthed is mean

Ever tight when time to pay

And not meaning what you say

Never nice your just plain mean.

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS Oct. 27/18

This is my entry for LindaGHill‘s Stream of Consciousness Saturday.

This week’s prompt is Bone. Use it anyway you like and have fun.

So I have used some coloquial phrases using the word Bone in an Etheree.

#SoCs.

Bone.

Cut

To the

Bone I am

Wounded, broken

On the bones of my

Arse. Not a penny to

My name. Boned and truly

Gutted. If I’d boned up on you

I’d of seen you had only wanted

To use me badly and just jump my bones.

The Escapist’s Colouring Club October Update.

After my spectacular fail last month to get any colouring done for the Escapist’s Colouring Club (run by the lovely Linda G Hill of A life in progress. ) Resulted in my entering a portrait my husband painted of our eldest son. At the time our lady was ill in hospital,aged five. Happily he recovered and forty years on he is hale and hearty.

So to this month October , I have made a start so here is an overdue mid month progress report.

New pencils on the right, bright pastels, the originals on the left are darker warmer colours!

The bare start.

The beginnings

Progress so far.

So wishing all other participants well and see you all on October first 💜💜💜💜

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS Oct. 13/18

This week’s prompt for LindaGHill’s SoCs is Precious .

Rules and Pingback Here

Precious is a word

That is mainly reserved

For that which is special and rare

Like a first tooth or a lock of baby hair

Or the kind of love,

A gift from above.

That a lucky few can share.

Metal can be precious too

Or rare stones of green or blue.

Yet if I were to be honest

To live and love and do our best

For eachother

And protect our world is just so precious.

Stream of Consciousness Saturday on Sunday.

This little piece of silliness comes to you care of LindaGHill’s #SoCs

This week’s prompt is card. We can use it anyway we like, as long as we have fun.

You can have a business card, or a place card to show you where to sit at a wedding, or an important function.

You can have flash cards to teach someone to read.

Prompt cards to help with a speech.

There are football cards, cigarette cards.

When someone is the life and soul of the party they call them a card. Full of life, full of fun always joking : “Isn’t he a card”

If you really want something,a favour, some money, a job, a holiday. People say :”play your cards right” that means do whatever you can to please that person, make them happy flatter them to get what you want.

If something is inevitable, unavoidable they say : “Its on the cards.”

Card, colours and glitter

And a happy rhyme

Really that’s all you need.

Days made special by a card.
