Morning Drive
See through the mist the romantic silhouettes of dwellings Indistinct, becoming irradiated into golden blueness by Light lifting itself from its dark bed, yawning,

Francine
They were sat on the terrace, the sea shimmering before them, the sun catching the heads of waves, making them smile with vibrancy in its warmth, like the hand of a kindly uncle, tousling the hair on the head of his favourite nephew.

Stuck. Content Warning.
"What do we have here?" The light blares and my eyes are startled. Blinking rapidly, I try to assess where the voice is coming from.

Better Watch Out!
It's gone! All my life's work! Gone! I found out by accident when I went Googling myself. No author called Jeff Trick; no bestsellers by Jeff Trick; no podcast by Jeff Trick!

The Storyteller
The days were long on the ship. They prayed for one with a little swell so the rocking of the ship would lull them to sleep. This was their only reprieve from the prospect of their life now and what was ahead of them.

The Husband, His Wife, Pat and the Threesome. Content Warning.
So she says to me, "Let's have a threesome" and I'm like, "What?" And then she says, "I think we need to mix it up a bit" and I says, "Can't we just go to Butlin's or something or change where we do the grocery shopping?" And she says, "That's your problem! You've got no imagination!"

Rachel Reviews: Mad Honey by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan
I've always liked Jodi Picoult's books in the main and think that she delivers good stories; I'm not familiar with Jennifer Finney Boylan's work although that will change on the strength of this read. I know that Picoult's novels often deal with thorny issues, representative of the times that we live in and present the viewpoints that threaten to divide, in very human stories, with a stress on that - the humans, the people who are affected, who live the lives that we question ethically or morally or simply because we don't understand..

Two Weeks of a Lady's Life in the Dramatic Landscapes of Colorado and Utah
This is the third instalment of a recent road trip. Links to the others are provided at the end. *** We were hoping for a bright day. A rain-filled night had eased the heat but we wanted it to be brief. A mountain in the rain makes for a miserable experience: it's all about what you can see when you get to the top. Mist is not a transparent film through which to view the vista. Seeing it clinging to the sides of the mountain you wish to ascend breeds disappointment in the heart of many an intrepid traveller. It did the same with me.
