This delightful little horse was a gift from a friend who’d been to the island of Rhodes, famous for its horses. It stands on the bookshelf beside my desk. And so…On The Shelf, I claim that title from the list Maria Antonia has given us for #2022picoftheweek

Did you hear what he said?
The bloody audacity
The cheek, the effrontery
I suppose he said it for comedic effect
Hurt people’s feelings but what the heck
Stir the house into greater hilarity
Modern comedians, can’t raise a laugh
Without risking a slap
I’d slap him. I’d kick him.
I’d poked him out his eyes
And tear off his disguise
Nowt but a boy with a little temerity

Even though you’re no longer here
I whisper goodnight as if in your ear
And snuggle into bed
And cuddle tight with Little Ted
You think me a fool?
That I’ve lost my cool?
But this you gifted me
And our love always will be
45 words written for Sammi’s Weekend Prompt: Goodnight
Don’t come too close
Just leave me be
And do not touch
I’m fine
I swear it
Just feeling rough
My coat’s gone ragged
Itching and irritating
I have to rub it off, you see
On the sand beside the sea
Then you’ll see the perfect me
This cutie is a grey seal pup in molt. Below is one *perfected*
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:
You have plenty of scope and only two criteria:
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
22nd December the sky called to me. I grabbed my camera, shoved my feet in some shoes and my arms in my coat, and went down to the sea

Hope you enjoyed. It is a wondrous thing to watch the sun rise from out of the sea.
20th December, we bus to Kessingland and walk back to Lowestoft along the beach. But at Pakefield we cheat and walk on the promenade provided…
A lone tree watches us pass

I name this X Marks the Spot. That wind turbine sits on Britain’s most eastern point, Lowestoft Ness

Gazing out to sea while eating lunch, curious of the shape of this ship. I just had to zoom in to see. I think it’s a helipad

Beach huts at Pakefield… for changing in privacy, sheltering from wind, and making cuppas. They look like garden sheds to me
20th December 2021
I love this rainbow beach hut. I think the owner used tester pots
20th December 2021
Beach huts at Lowestoft. A different look. Corporation-owned?
20th December 2021
Lowestoft sea front…
20th December 2021
Groynes at Lowestoft… and that ship
20th December 2021
The Royal Yacht Club… not that the royal yacht docks there. This is where I stand and dream. Now, which one do I want?
20th December 2021
That’s the one for me, all decked out. Sail away, sail away, sail away…

Hope you enjoyed this little jaunt along the prom. Thank you for following me. I wish you Peace, Love & Contentment in 2022.

It rains. And I stand here.
The wind howls. And I stand here.
It snows. And I stand here.
The sun shines bright. And I stand here.
But when the klaxon sounds
Calling my fellows from around the town
Then I’m first to our station, another soul to save.
The statue is of a Lifeboat Man. The Royal National Lifeboat Institute is manned mostly by unpaid volunteers. Founded in 1824, it has 238 lifeboat stations around our coast with 444 lifeboats.
*Manned* as in handed, for there are women crewmembers too
