The #reek in the creek sent ol' Jeramiah running like a bat out of hell making BIg Ellie laugh til she cried. "Oh Lawd," she said, wiping her tears. "Swear he'd never smelt burnin flesh before. It's just a plain ol' hog roast. Nothin more. Now, pass me the chainsaw." #vss365

Since taking a breather from this #mystical machine I haven't thought once of Epstein or Trump Canada, Melania Elon and his mania things that seem so big here are nothing when plugged out This microcosm of humanity is hidden in anonymity but I miss the community Of #vss365

A fighter not a #boxer A survivor not a victim A super woman not Superwoman A keeper untamed Some days she set the world on fire others just passed her by. Legend. #Vss365

Heart thumps, blood pumps faster with my latest hit environmental new addiction an economic acquisition. โ‚ฌ4.50 brand new shirt rescued, branded, tag still on or not enough clothes on the planet for 6 generations ain't a #scintilla of shame in this thrift shop game. #vss365

For a #moment hold your breath. Don't blink. Be still. Tiptoe by the sleeping beast. Silently now, take your time. Don't look behind, for the weekend lies ahead. Monday will come in time, traipsing in with muddy boots, looking for attention. Don't pay it any heed. #vss365

Jane couldn't eat her dinner even though it was her favourite: potatoes, carrots and meatballs in gravy from a tin. The #vagery of Maria's words announcing she had a new best friend still made her tummy churn. It was official: Summer 1984 was the worst ever. #vss365

Help wanted! I have two questions for you. 1. Do you set yearly New Year resolutions/ goals? 2. How do you visualise the months of the year? In a line, in a circle/ in groups/ other? It's an #enigma but I have a hypothesis that I'd like to test. Thanks #vss365 people ๐Ÿ˜€

Being Irish means I am a #progenitor of parties, thanks to our history and our weather, but knowing I never have to wake up again with a hangover and hanxiety is cause for the biggest celebration. And it just keeps getting better and better. #vss365

One step. To enter reality from this #realm of dreams, all it takes is just one step. So, why is it so hard? #vss365

On a summer night by a moonlight shore I first realised it. Sure, I'd known the #susurrus and sideward glances but until that moment, I hadn't understood what I was. The swimmers entered the dark waters as I watched from a distance. Protecting them. Keeping them safe. #Vss365

Miles to go Before I sleep For sleep's a thing Eludes the mind And so, resigned I set the sail My body cold & soul consigned What lay behind The velvet veil Of horrors lurk In murk & shade I'll #slash away The rotted knot Into the night Farewell to day #vss365

She didn't set out to #slash her PB. It wasn't her intention to run so fast but the birdsong and pitter patter of rain drove her along the Greenway. She didn't set out to #slash her PB but today, after 7 years of ups and downs she did, and boy was she happy. #vss365 #loveparkrun

Small things like a cuppa in bed calm tummy, clear head remembering what was said like driving home no need to apologise like family time all over for dinner like hope and dignity on a hangxiety free Sober Sunday small things that were never really #small at all. #vss365

A #single word met a friend and despite its shyness began to chat. Soon they were surrounded by paragraphs big and small, rich and descriptive, all working together to tell a story. The word surveyed the fruit of its bravery and indeed it was good. #vss365

Since the magpie moved into our tree sans mate, I dreaded looking out at the garden. Superstition dictated saluting the bird to negate the bad luck and due to be a keynote #speaker, I couldn't take any chances. Doctor of ornithology: yes. Fool: Never. #vss365
