I’m taking a little time off to celebrate 25 years of being married to my best friend. Back in a couple of weeks… ✈️☀️🏩🍷🍷

The crows (word prompts)
These six-word stories were prompted by the Page Flutter Six-Word Story Challenge. The painting in the background is a detail of ‘Things are Looking Up’.
22. Her dream was his worst nightmare.
23. Ancestor’s curse fell on deaf ears.
24. The crows themselves were not superstitious.
25. Bitten! Smitten! Must be a lovebug.
26. Autumn: a treat for the senses.
27. Her imagination was the spookiest place…
28. Mischief makers teased the fun police.
[October prompts: worst nightmare, ancestor’s curse, the crows, bitten!, fall treat, spookiest place, mischief makers.]
Akaroa
A golden evening looking out over Akaroa Harbour
I was so happy with this scene that I decided to dust off the sketchbook…

The other quick sketch from the weekend has been enhanced digitally using Affinity Photo.
Friendly ghosts (word prompts)
These six-word stories were prompted by the Page Flutter Six-Word Story Challenge. I’m also posting a few favourites on Instagram.
15. Their menagerie included jitterbugs and goosebumps.
16. Pleasant memories surfaced like friendly ghosts.
17. Happily, the glass was half full.
18. I’d rather be free-spirited than ghoul-oriented.
19. Typical. It must be after midnight.
20. The losing pumpkin made prize-winning soup.
21. They possessed desire but owned defeat.
[October prompts: goosebumps, friendly ghost, thirst, ghoul-oriented, after midnight, prize pumpkin, possessed.]
