.
It’s ridiculous but today I just can’t concentrate, nothing is coming into my brain for this prompt and it’s such a good prompt.
Well hubby and I have stinking colds, sore throats and coughs, plus I have chest and stomach and back ache too. I feel it would be ridiculous to keep going as it has taken me three hours to write this ridiculous post. So I am giving up now and having a rest , I hope to be back tomorrow. We have both taken LFTs and we are negative thank goodness. 💜💜💜

Here’s your Saturday prompt:
Your prompt for #JusJoJan and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “a rainy day.” Write about the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the phrase “a rainy day.” Enjoy!
A rainy day in London.
A rainy day keeping an eye on the weather. Two friends spending a day together In their home city. They came by train They have umbrellas incase of rain.
Heavy grey laden clouds hang above The roofs opposite, threatening. White swans glide a pair for life Light fades rain threatening Where can we shelter Lights from cafes Glisten in Dappled Thames.

Your prompt for JusJoJan January 14th, 2022, is “freckled.” Use the word “freckled” any way you’d like. Have fun!
Freckled skin is beautiful, as beautiful as skin that is freckleless. Some people like to comment on appearance, especially children. My eldest son has red hair hair, blue eyes and freckles. When he was little he did stand out and people made assumptions about him. Now he is a grown man his hair and freckled skin have tamed down a little. He has to be very careful in the sun because his skin is so pale. Lots of factor 50.
He has travelled the world and has taken him bike with him on many occasions. When he and his friend travelled Vietnam and Cambodia my son caused some constanation in some of the out of the way, off of the beaten track villages with his pale skin and red hair.
RED is my hair green are my eyes LIGHT are my thoughts like butterflies. GREEN the feelingd you have for me. LIGHT weight the side of me that you see. AMBER freckled skin creased by my smile LIGHT my day, stop ribbing me for a while.

Your prompt for JusJoJan January 13th, 2022, is “protocol.” Use the word “protocol” any way you’d like. Enjoy!
Protocol…well, John has picked us an interesting word. Basically protocols are rules / schedules that have to be adhered to. They can relate to Government, Royalty, Medicine, Law, and I.T. It can also relate to the military , schools or any type of work.
Prestigious makers of rules Royally cover their backs Openly laying down the law To keep us plebes in place Over us to laud it, making us Compliant and subservient On matters of the Law,Government,Royalty,Medicine, Military?

Your prompt for JusJoJan January 11th, 2022, is “cosmopolitan.” Use the word “cosmopolitan” any way you’d like. Enjoy!
Thank you Linda for choosing my prompt..
typically I am fashionably late!
Please excuse the lyrics of this song it was written in a much less politically correct era. The sentiments are good though and perfect for the prompt. Cosmopolitan, is a word for a coming together of all cultures, every city in the world apart from a few in war torn areas are now Cosmopolitan. It is also a cocktail.
A cosmopolitan, or informally a cosmo, is a cocktail made with vodka, triple sec, cranberry juice, and freshly squeezed or sweetened lime juice. Wikipedia.
It is also a magazin popular in the UK and US. Wikipedia
The city planners met and discussed the future :
We want it big , colourful and a blend of every culture.
Yes we must be inclusive of all cultures, creeds and colours.
Indeed we must cater for ever taste, a restaurant of every type, shops selling all ethnic clothes .
Of course we need to make sure everyone is included, a melting pot!
Right truly Cosmopolitan!
*****
That was the plan….but planners seldom get it right ! So what happened to the planners……did their noses begin to rust?

Your prompt for JusJoJan January 9th, 2022, is “unicorn.” Use the word “unicorn” any way you’d like. Enjoy!
Back in 2018 in the days when we could travel, and mix socially we had a holiday. (Do you remember those?) We went to Mexico and there was a German family there they were a two generation family and everyday they brought their beautiful unicorn 🦄 to the pool. Each evening he could be seen sitting in their jacuzzi!
Amid the palm trees and the pool bar There was a unicorn,legend and star. He made it to the pool each day. There he spends his holiday. He was such a sight to see Back in the days when we were free.
In the afternoon yesterday , 1.45 actually, I was on the phone to my eldest son, when suddenly there were huge black things floating infront of me. I kept try to brush them away, they were like huge cobwebs then for good measure silver flashes appeared from top to bottom of my periveral vision.
I could not concentrate on the phone conversation as the lights and cobwebs were so distracting. In the beginning I could not work out what was happening then as I relaxed I realized it was my left eye. This continued all afternoon and evening, at about 17.30 I rang my optician and asked for an appointment, she said what was the problem I told her. She advised me to go as soon as possible to the eye casualty. The earliest I could go was this morning. So I spent the evening wearing dark glasses and I have to admit worrying.
This morning we were up at dawn and off to the hospital after sorting Ruby. I was there at 8.30am the department opens at 9am. I was first in and was triaged , an eye test, then drops to anesthesise my eyes, followed by a test to measure the pressure in my eyes then drops to dilate my pupils. After a while I saw the Dr and her trainee they did loads of tests and even gave me more drops the put a special lense in my left eye to do a deeper test.
In the beginning I was scared when she told me I had had a P V D. Apparently this is an age related thing ..a Posterior Vitreous Detachment. This when the Vitreous ( a jelly) at the back of the eye breaks away, and we then see black floaters infront of our eyes. The light flashes are the vitreous pulling at the retina. It’s age related. Today every thing is okay, although rather disconcerting. The Dr said to just keep an eye on things … keep an eye 👀🤣🤣🤣🤣. But to watch out for the light flashes getting worse or suddenly lots more floaters as that could mean trouble, detached retina. So any problems I was to return to the eye casualty immediately.
Apparently this can go on for weeks months or even years???? I told her this was rather disconcerting because the floaters seem huge she told me that my brain will soon compensate for these and they will not bother me as much.
In the beginning I was very worried since seeing the Dr I feel better, though because of the drops my vision is very blurry so forgive me if I am late reading posts or comments today.
So in the end, for now all is well that ends well. 💜

The Tempest.
The tempest rants and raves It boils and froths huge waves The ragged ship is tossed and thrown. All dead the crew except he who stands alone Tied to the wheel to steer this vessel Below a single coffin on a tressle. The morning breaks the tempest will quell The cargo intact, a product of the gates of hell . The ship finally makes port The cargo onto land is brought…..
