A vulture who lived in my tree
was a wonderful creature to see
He lived solely on steak
but kept me awake
every night when he got up to pee

Twittering Tales #117 – 1 January 2019
It’s time again for Kat Myrman’s wonderful challenge to tax our creativity. Just take her photo prompt and write a story, inspired by the prompt, in 280 characters or fewer.
Here is this week’s prompt and my contribution.
Check out all the fabulous entries here and, if you’ve never had a go, why not try a story of your own? You may surprise yourself!

Polly’s dream
I’m sick of this cabbage and carrot diet. Look, it’s turning my tail feathers green!
Thank goodness it’s Christmas.
Maybe I’ll get some plum pudding, and there’s bound to be some nuts and fruit going spare.
I’m hoping there may be stilton and port left over too.
Now we’re talking!

He’s not dead after all!
A post I wrote some time ago, (nearly 3 years ago, now that I look back,) speculated on what may have happened to a blogger who fades away into oblivion. Did they die? Were they incarcerated for the rest of their life, having killed the POTUS? Are they seriously ill, in hospital?

I’m still yet to tell you all about my walk for charity, show you the pictures and tell you all about my blisters.
But before that, I thought I might just start by saying hello and apologising for not having been around for so long.
I’ve neglected the very people that had given me a welcome for so much of my weight loss adventure, and for that I am truly sorry.
It’s amazing really. To my mind nothing has changed in the past 18 months but that is because I have lived each day and don’t recognise the change, therefore it must be nigh on impossible to quantify the massive changes that have actually taken place.
During my blogging hiatus, I have been drunk and sober, happy and sad, lonely and content, busy and…

What a good, if very disturbing article, about changing eating habits over the years!
