CCC#75
Welcome to my weekly challenge—open to all—just for FUN, FUN, FUN
Here’s how it works:
Every Wednesday I post a photo (this week it’s that one above.)
You respond with something CREATIVE
Here are some suggestions:
- An answering photo
- A cartoon
- A joke
- A caption
- An anecdote
- A short story (flash fiction)
- A poem
- A newly minted proverb, adage or saying
- An essay
- A song—the lyrics or the performance
You have plenty of scope and only two criteria:
- Your creative offering is indeed yours
- Your writing is kept to 150 words or less
If you post a link in the comments section of this post I’ll be able to find it
If you include Crimson’s Creative Challenge as a heading, WP Search will find it (theory)
by ‘Searching’ in the WP Reader (fingers crossed)
Here’s wishing you inspirational explosions. And FUN.
The photo was taken at Cromer, on the North Norfolk Coast in July last year

Old Jeremy had an amazing catch. People would talk for years about the number of water polo balls he had landed for Mikasa in a single day.

The boat? I named it after my third wife. You never met Irene. Count your blessings. Oh, you’d like her . . . at first. Irene was gorgeous, had a pleasing laugh, and was great in the sack . . . when she wanted to be.
I bought the boat to go crab fishing. Named it after her in hopes she’d come with me. She did . . . once. Never endured so much crabbing, and I’m not talking about shellfish. Boat leaked the first day I took it out. Hit a submerged rock on the second trip. That was it for that year, for the boat and my marriage.
About the same time I paid out a divorce settlement, the boat was sunk at the dock in a storm. Couldn’t fix the marriage, but I sure could fix the boat!

Excellent, Brian. Sounds such a real scenario. The boat is moored at Cromer, famous for its Cromer Crabs.

What’s written on that buoy? Looks like “OHIO” from here!
LikeLiked by 2 people
I agree, it does look like that. Maybe it’s the owner’s initials?
LikeLiked by 1 person
Initials of “OHIO” – that would be special! But it’s probably like “Harold Ivan Olsen” or something without that nice, first O. If I could name my kid to have crazy initials, I would. But I made a bet with a high school teacher that I’d name my firstborn “Clement Vallandigham” regardless of sex. My plan is to win that bet by never having kids, haha.

Clement I get, but Vallandigham? Nix, that’s gotta be a place.
But howabout it’s two people’s initials, husband and wife? Harold Osbern and his wife Irene Osbern?

Clement Vallandigham was a Copperhead leader and representative from Ohio (the Copperheads were northerners who wanted quick peace by allowing the South to secede during the Civil War). But that wasn’t the reason – the reason was his epic death by accidental gunfire trying to show that a “murder” was actually a suicide. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clement_Vallandigham#Death

Ah-ha, I think. You do realise we Brits are non-starters when it comes to American history… unless it’s been part of a big movie!

Vallandigham is pretty hidden in there. He’s worthy of maybe a sentence in an advanced high school history text, but that’s about it.

Evidently hasn’t made it into the few historical novels I’ve read set in the period.
