Anyone else remember The Fast Show? No? Arthur Weasley coming out of his shed and telling you he's mostly been wearing nipple clamps?

The Beginning, The Middle, and the Twist
With the winners of the recent "Tales Retold" challenge being announced in the next few days, I wanted to stick a pen to paper, metaphorically, with a few more thoughts. I've already banged on a bit about this here.

Schäfer's Round Up - Take Two
Please don't get excited - I'm not promising to do this every week! Some of the people I included last week knocked some gems out recently, but I decided not to give the same writers a shout out two weeks in a row.

Mmmm, Eggs Benny 😋
Ever heard that "mleh mleh mleh hollandaise is harrrrdddd wahhh". Shut up, you babies. Getting the sauce right is not actually that tricky ***if you have a blender***. If you don't have a blender, fine, I yield, give up, go and buy it in a packet like the other losers.

A quick note to men You may be tempted to skip this, thinking it's not for you. Don't. Unless you live on an island populated entirely by males, there are insights here for you as well. And if you already know them, then you might have something to add. If you have a daughter, or niece, or female students, then this is absolutely for your consideration. It is likely that a girl would prefer to get a commemmorative gift from her mother, or another female relative. The other stuff? They need that from both parents.

Dirty Soles - micro
The soles of her feet were dirty. That's the first thing I remember noticing. Mama was always so clean. Always smelled nice, like soap.

Losing My Vocal V-Plates
The first piece I wrote for Vocal was called The Squinch. Here it is: I'd come out of a long spell of not writing very much at all (don't ask how long), so I was very rusty. I knew it.

Word of the Day - Exogenous
As a long-time logophile (lover of words) I've been itching to do this for a while. You agree with me, right? Words are fascinating. Where would you or I be without them? They are the most versatile tools; they can be paintbrushes or knives. They can be sharp; they can soothe. They might be what separates us from animals. They can have an intriguing history.

Thank you To Vocal for this challenge. I don't expect to place, but it was a lot of fun. It got me writing again after long creaky weeks of frustration and a dearth of creativity.
