Dad – Trifextra Week 74

This week, the Trifextra challenge is to play around with the following quote from Henry James:

“Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind.”

I hope you enjoy my offering – please visit here to read many more!

There are three ways to live your life:

The first is to experience every glorious moment

The second is to experience every glorious moment

And the third is to experience every glorious moment

This week’s offering is about and in honour of my Dad, who has always done just that.

Third Time’s the Charm – Trifextra Week 73

In some respects, I’m a creature of habit, so I have a feeling that this is the second entry of many into Trifextra, one of the Trifecta writing challenges.

This weekend’s Trifextra challenge is to write exactly 33 words on the idiom ‘third time’s the charm’.  Here in the UK, we use the alternative ‘third time lucky’, but I’ll stick with the original. I hope you enjoy it, and all the other submissions!

“THIRD TIME’S THE CHARM – INSUFFICIENT DATA” 

Science 1, Superstition 0.

Summer – Trifextra week 72

I’m on a bit of a writing buzz today, so couldn’t resist my first entry into one of the Trifecta writing challenges – Trifextra. I’ve had my eye on this blog for a little while – it’s time to jump in!

This weekend’s Trifextra challenge is to write exactly 33 words on what summer means to the writer. Summer means many things to me, so my offering below is just one aspect.

As a late-leaving office worker, now I can enjoy my version of London in all its deserted, light-blessed glory. No crowds to dodge, just space in which to reflect on the glass-bound skyscrapers.
