Gallivant
That reminds me of my mother.
Don’t be out gallivanting all night, you’ve school tomorrow.
I’d go to the café, meet Froggy and Chester, nurse a Coke for three hours.
She and Froggy are long gone.
When in Scotland, I visit Chester.
We still don’t gallivant.
Such tight writing, as usual. Well done.
Ronda
Thanks, Ronda, not much choice with 46 words!
Who taught our mothers the meaning of the word gallivant. It seems I’ve always known it. I never use it, until now. Love listening to you read.
Probably their mothers, I don’t think we invented going out and getting up to stuff we shouldn’t!
And thanks, glad it adds to the presentation.
Happy memories with a tinge of sadness. Nice one
Thanks, Keith
My mother also used to tell me not to go gallivanting all night… Hmmm.
She obviously knew you…
Without a doubt
Did you get my email about the ‘block’ editor?
I sent it Saturday evening my time.
No… and I checked everywhere… did you send it to dalerog@sympatico.ca?
There is gallivanting that involves little physical roaming about, I find …
😉
Well done!
Na’ama
My mum meant ‘Don’t get up to any mischief!’
I know … 😉
That’s cool you embed an audio of you reading it too!
Yes, I usually do that, I find it fun.
I put some of my stuff on YouTube too, sometimes with different readers.
Dear CE,
Love that this didn’t exactly take you out gallivanting. Lovely story with a wistful tone.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you, m’lady.
Once I started I could have written 46 pages!
