Pinky and Perky

By Tom Merriman on September 14, 2018September 13, 2018

Presenting Pinky and Perky (not their real names*)

Always minding their own business and never minding each other, perching apart just enough from each other yet close enough to appear together at the same time, providing a united front, their body language provides a few clues about their relationship.

Pinky holds a higher authority, and Perky is subservient.

Pinky is alert and Perky aloof.

Pinky wants freedom and Perky is happy as is.

Pinky is wide awake and Perky is sound asleep.

Pinky can’t stand Perky’s snoring.

Perky can’t stand Pinky’s whining.

Pinky blames Perky for getting them both locked outside of their cage.

Pinky wouldn’t listen when Perky said they were still locked inside the run.

Pinky couldn’t settle on top of the cage, Perky was most comfortable.

Pinky had internal ruffled feathers, Perky just went with the flow.

I’m just going with the flow as well. Posting the occasional #InThePink post for Becky’s September Squares challenge (the link above will take you to many more pink-themed pics), and having fun doing so!

*I was contemplating pixelating Pinky and Perky’s faces for this post, but that would have hidden their perfect expressions. And besides, their noms de plume protect their identities perfectly.

Feel GOOD! Words

Clear the Mind; Soothe the Soul

By Tom Merriman on September 8, 2018September 8, 2018

Clear thoughts
In a clear head
Soothe the soul
It must be said
See the clarity
Filled with light
Negativity
Out of sight

I’m just casting aside negativity today.

I’m casting a Feel Good spell.

For the good of all… obviously.

And if you don’t like it

I hope the spell works quicker.

A spell for Six Word Saturday. And a clear sky with fading pink clouds for #InThePink. Just because. And links for both are below.

Let’s bring on the positivity, yes? YES!!!

Feel GOOD! Nature Super Heroes

The Superhero Diaries 5.20: Wet Weekend

By Tom Merriman on September 5, 2018September 5, 2018

Matthew Mist, master of mystical misty mysticism, invites YOU to attend the magnificent Wet Weekend. Held this year in the heavenly Thunderstruck Manor Gardens, you will find yourself both awed and dumbstruck by feats of magic so uncanny you will surely feel you are dreaming.

With Nature’s elements being kept at bay by our modern and cutting edge technology provided by our own Weather Men, feel free to wear your best summer clothes and finest exquisite jewellery, neither of which will become damaged by the weather’s fiercest attempts to break through the barricades.

With magic being key, those elements will be heightened so you may find an item or two of yours strangely disappear during the day’s events – all of which is designed to fit in with the day’s celebrations naturally.

Come along!

Dress to Really Impress!

Feel the Power!

See the Magic!

Tickets will be on sale on the day at the main entrance to Thunderstruck Manor, with the magic occurring throughout the day. Turn up and see. Turn up and Feel the Magic!

Something dodgy? Sounds too good? It probably is. Lucky that the Superheroes are onto it!

Did you notice those photos in the flyer? One of them looks remarkably like one of mine, this one:

Which I was going to post as part of Becky’s #InThePink September Squares challenge. Trust those dastardly supervillains to try to scupper my plans. But I’ve shown them! More pink squares can be found at the link below…
