Her letter said she’d be carrying a red gladiolus. When I got to the railway station everyone in sight was carrying a red gladiolus. #MicroflashMonday #WHQCommunity

@startfire10 @LKTranslator I second that emotion.

'Have you seen this?’ shouted the king. 'Swans, royal birds, my personal property, dying,’ the king spluttered. ‘They should all be swimming.’
‘It’ll be avian flu.’
‘But what are they doing about it?’
His consort shrugged. ‘Don’t know.’

There’s a step on our stairs. I often miss it. Yesterday I found it and went to fairyland. When I stepped out I was in the hospital. I’m home. I’m looking at the stairs. The steps are plain to see. The hidden step is invisible.

‘Ever noticed,’ said Charlotte, ‘Rain on the pavement makes it shimmer and shine in the light. When the sun dries up the wet the pavement doesn’t shine anymore.’ Then she slipped on the rain-slick pavement, fell, and gave herself a shiner. #MicroflashMonday #WHQCommunity

So #TeessideAirshow is 'a victim of it's own success.' Maybe so. But that success involved the sale of 22000 tickets, apparently. Perhaps someone should have checked that, figured out how many cars would be involved and planned appropriate traffic management arrangements. No?

[mattspop @mattspop]

Was really looking forward to seeing the Catalina. Love that plane. #TeessideAirshow #disappointed
