Need to stop browsing Oxfam Online. I have the weirdest interests, graveyards and history 😂 Saw a Monty (General Montgomery) Toby jug. It arrived very speedily in a huge box. Well I thought it would be the normal Toby jug size, it’s huge but very beautiful. Photo to show scale.

I had a #Goal once but it became too hard to achieve. It’s now a tiny little ball rolling about in my brain and one day it will become like the football that wins the World Cup, and I’ll celebrate like the thousands of fans. 🎉🎉 #vss365

Has there been a #delay asked the Troll? The donkey wondered what was the best answer. Yes and the Troll would be cross, No and he’d expect to see the proceeds of the long wait. Decisions decisions! #vss365

Stella @stellaturner.bsky.social · 26/11/2024
Ethel rolled her eyes and lifted her eyebrows simultaneously. It was truly a talent. Doris tried to tell her that the #delay wasn’t her fault but Ethel would have none of it. #vss365

Somewhere over the #horizon sang Ethel Don’t you mean rainbow Nan? Probably Seb but I like a bit of variation now and again. #vss365

#hop dibberty dop sang The Troll at the top of his voice. The village shook and the villagers hid in shock. The Donkey brayed to his friend, lower it Matey else the sound police will be visiting. The Troll stopped and remembered the last visit from noise abatement. #vss365

#hop dibberty dop sang Doris Seb laughed, he loved his Nan so much but her voice at times was dire and she didn’t always get the lyrics right. #vss365

Doris and Ethel stood with their arms firmly folded. Have you seen it George? What? The word prompt for todays #vss365 is #Troll George could sense trouble brewing and popped in the kitchen to brew several big mugs of tea.

Stella @stellaturner.bsky.social · 21/11/2024
The donkey yelled with excitement! The word prompt for #vss365 today is #Troll so tomorrow is should be donkey. What’s good for his best friend is good enough for him 😁😁

Stella @stellaturner.bsky.social · 20/11/2024
We could go #sightseeing No said the troll. I’d only see the clouds you would be telling me all about the fabulous sights I’ve missed I could take lots of photos said the donkey. Okay it’s Venice then. #vss365

Stella @stellaturner.bsky.social · 20/11/2024
We could go #sightseeing No George we can’t Why not? Because I don’t like fishing, hunting, shooting and golfing. I don’t hunt nor shoot I rest my net and bag. 🙄🙄🙄 #vss365

Don’t open that #suitcase Why? Could be something upsetting inside it. This isn’t a horror film no bits of limbs, a severed head. Okay open it. Seconds later screams could be heard by the neighbours. Never believe all you hear #vss365

Stella @stellaturner.bsky.social · 18/11/2024
I am never going on a #journey again. The Troll laughed and gently hugged his best friend. I will always be there for you my friend. The Donkey discreetly wiped a tear away and planned a small holiday at the nearby village. #vss365

Sorry George I’ve decided a #journey is not for me. Doris I’ve planned a day trip to Blackpool not a hike to Kathmandu! #vss365

The village postman hoped this was a storm in a teacup as he held a #postcard from the goats addressed to the Troll. Should he get the ladder to climb up to deliver it or conveniently lose it in his post bag? Decisions decisions! #vss365

Stella @stellaturner.bsky.social · 17/11/2024
The #postcard had sat on the mantelpiece for years. No one dared move it. Doris dusted around it religiously and told George if he ever read the back he’d be out on the street. George had read it in the dead of night and it was another Agatha Christie mystery! #vss365

Stella @stellaturner.bsky.social · 16/11/2024
Where shall we #travel to George? George wondered what Ethel would like his reply to be. So said nothing to keep the peace. #vss365

Stella @stellaturner.bsky.social · 16/11/2024
The donkey wondered where he’d #travel to next. He thought he’d never go back to the village the Troll hated him or so he thought. Two strides up the mountain the troll scooped up his best friend and carried him back to the stable. #vss365

She’s managed to #raise herself out of bed Ethel looked at George in disbelief. Her friend Doris was always a lark in more ways than one Is she unwell? She says she’s exhausted with the excitement of cracking the case OMG you don’t see Miss Marple in bed, ever! #vss365

The donkey realised standing on this mountain #pinnacle had its challenges! If he wanted to #raise his left hoof he might topple over and plunge down the mountain. If he raised his right hoof he might graze his shin on the rocks. God knows what his back hooves risked. #vss365

Stella @stellaturner.bsky.social · 14/11/2024
The donkey stood on the #pinnacle of the mountain. His hooves steadfast. He hoped the Troll couldn’t see him. The Troll wasn’t very happy with the goats gift and the donkey felt safer here clinging on for grim death. #vss365

The #lobster wondered if this was his day. Not to be caught in a lobster pot, not to be boiled in a cooking pot but to just potter around in the sea with his friends for another day 🦞 #vss365

#violet bruises covered her body. She loved the hue and wondered what colour they would fade to next. Like a rainbow. She wondered how she managed to find some joy out of that horrible incident and it certainly wasn’t an accident. Truth would eventually come out. #vss365

#lavender are you joking we already have Lilly, Lupin, Lobelia and Lunaria? She looked down at her newborn maybe his father was right. Their first son needed a name to stand out amongst his sisters perhaps Oak or Walnut. #vss365

The ghostly #spirit eyed his protagonist, watching him drink the 70% spirit. His spirit lifted as the man decided the spirit could stay. He thought he was having hallucinations. The spirit knew different and planned to scare the ‘spiritus’ out of him. #vss365

The #gauntlet lay on the floor. No I wasn’t going to pick it up. I had my litter picking stick with me and several filled bags of discarded detritus but no time for a challenge today. #vss365
