Sarah at weejars is our host and you can play along with this week’s Saturday Mix here
This week we are dipping our toes into the pool of OPPOSITES. Our challenge is all about “opposing forces” and the use of antithesis in our writing. You will need to use the two opposing words in your response – which can be poetry or prose.
Our words this week are:
– seldom and often
– serious and funny
My Uncle Bob was a dry old stick who’s visits were seldom, though he’d often ring for no apparent reason.
He only knew one joke, and for the life of me, I cannot remember it, but he was so serious when he told it, the fact we all knew what was coming made it all the more funny.

I am a retired number cruncher with a vivid imagination and wacky sense of humour which extends to short stories and poetry. I love to cook and am a bit of a dog whisperer as I get on better with them than people sometimes!
In November 2020, we lost our beloved Maggie who adopted us as a 7 week old pup in March 2005. We decided to have a photo put on canvas as we had for her predecessor Barney. We now have three pictures of our fur babies on the wall as we found a snapshot of Kizzy, my GSD when Hubby and I first met so had hers done too.
On February 24th 2022 we were blessed to find Maya, a 13 week old GSD pup who has made her own place in our hearts. You can follow our training methods, photos and her growth in my blog posts.
From 2014 to 2017 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat where we made strong friendships both on and off the water. We were close to nature enjoying swan and duck families for neighbours, and it was a fascinating chapter in our lives.
We now reside in a small bungalow on the Lincolnshire coast where we have forged new friendships and interests.

Sounds like Uncle Bob was quite a character
He was. He and my great aunt were engaged for 38 years before they got married as both had commitments to elderly relatives.
Wow, that’s a long term engagement
He promised to look after his Mum and when she died, my aunt had promised to look after hers. They had about 15 years of married life and complimented each other.
