Go with your gut

The prompt today is ‘Do you trust your instincts’ and I would say most of the time Yes.
Hubby says I’m a scary judge of character as I can usually tell within a few moments whether I like someone or will just tolerate them.
I am always polite, but there are some people that just come across as trying too hard to impress or be something they are probably not, and I pick up on that.
It’s not just people though.
On several occasions I have decided against travelling on a certain route, and on a few of those there have been holdups or road closures.
I also trust my dog, and if she does not want to go a particular way or her hackles rise, then I will go in the opposite direction. Saying that though, Hubby was the only person Kizzy barked at, so you could say she was warning me…. or was she trying to tell me he was OK in the only vocal way she knew how?
That was over 36 years ago!

Hope you enjoy it the second time around.

Esther’s Writing Prompt 19th November

Esther Chilton is our host and this week our writing prompt is

SAVE
Well, this is a little different from saving money or being a goalie!
When you are short of space, little things like this are a life saver.
They come in various colours, some oval like this one, circular, rectangular or square, but this little space saving device works well indoors or out for the ‘smalls’ or socks.

Snow they said……………………

Well, we certainly have a lot of white stuff falling, but it ain’t snow.
It’s hail, and the pavements and gardens are turning white
I took Maya out for her first walk early and glad that I did as I felt some icy stuff in the air on the way round.
Hubby took her out for a second walk at 11, but she didn’t do anything and it is now 1.35 so she will be wanting ‘to go’. Hopefully she’ll do her business in the garden.

Daft Thought of the Day: 18th November

I am sure that all of us have had a daft thought flitter through our mind for no reason at all, one that maybe makes us think of the way we do things automatically rather than via thought processes.
Today I was thinking about toast and how you put it in the toaster.
