He had a song for her
& she had a song for him
Achingly sweet
#hypnotic beats
That spoke of love
And wishful things
They hadn’t told each other
& the words lay secret on their minds
But hearts have ears
When souls connect
In a dance as old as time

@PunkyMantilla Born New Zealand mid-60's. Food was ALL homemade. Breakfast - toast & spread or porridge, lunch -sandwiches with fruit & a homemade baked treat, & dinner - meat & 3 veg. Morning tea & afternoon tea - more baked treats. Dessert & ice cream at night. We biked or walked a LOT

@LadyNimby I have face blindness too. If you have this condition, you get used to looking out for specific characteristics. Boobs aren't generally one of them (it's not something I hone in on) but eyes are. Sydney Sweeney has really odd eyes. Droopy. Uneven. Memorable. Pic 2 shows this.

@McphersonWrites I love writing adventure books with strong, thoughtful male leads. Try 'No Place To Be Lost', a story based on real events about a shipwrecked 14 year old whose grit & determination meant he survived and flourished against all odds.

Excited to have TWO of my stories featured in these horror-filled anthologies - be ready to check them out in the Escape and Watch editions of this six-book collection

@the_mark_rob How cool. Well done!

@winstonpeters Why did I automatically think of Huey, Dewey, and Louie?

@arlsy6 @COUNTERSPIN111 They're not volunteers - you get paid for doing it. There's a special tax rate for election day workers. It is a manual process with lots of box ticking by the workers. Only a very quick 'box swap' before the vote count in the back room would allow for fraud at the polling booth.

@MichaelaWills2 @NzFubar I had to do a special vote at the booth 150 metres from my house (the house where I've lived for 3 years). I've been mysteriously deleted from the roll

@the_mark_rob I reckon - they all sounded great, but I ran out of time too. I also went for Lurk - the setting was awesome. Good luck!!

[Cherry One Two @hotfromthepen]

@ornithopteryx Mosasaurs are an under-utilised literary element and an interesting plot twist too though - I based my favourite series around them just so I could give them the fanfare they deserve 🐉

@stoic008 Chips. That show and Miami Vice shaped our view of American law enforcement from all the way over here in New Zealand. The good ole boys in Dukes of Hazard gave us a view of the "villains".

@saltyreigns Haha - this is like the 'recline or not' in a plane. Most people park badly when reversing into a park & we now have the getting past the wing mirrors problem for people whose cars are parked normally on either side. Ever tried to carry a toddler & a bag of groceries to your car?

[Cherry One Two @hotfromthepen]

@YardleyShooting Sorry to hear that. Wishing you the best

[Cherry One Two @hotfromthepen]

@AuthorTOBurnett I used to write fiction stories for magazines back in the day on one of those (although mine was an old Remington Rand I picked up at a garage sale), but the bottle of White Out got a regular work out 🤣

[Cherry One Two @hotfromthepen]

@Radarsteal1 You need to hitch up one side of that fabric skirting at the front of the table and have a pair of red eyes peering out from beneath - or a bunch of bones from a plastic skeleton heaped into a pile... Good luck with the book sales!

[Cherry One Two @hotfromthepen]

@Radarsteal1 Make sure it's well edited, have a great cover, have a grab 'em blurb, set up pre-orders, do pre-launch TikToks...

[Cherry One Two @hotfromthepen]

@fasc1nate That is a really cute dance and I hope he was successful, but all I can think of is the female spider sitting there humming "I smell sex and candy" 🤣

@TastingHistory1 The entire back of my grandparents' house (New Zealand) was crammed with red currant, white currant, black currant, and gooseberry bushes. Red currant jelly is a great alternative to cranberry jelly due to the lack of fruity sweetness in the berries.
