Nice one, Keith. Self deception: the solution to all our woes. Right?
Absolutely so Bill – don’t I know it!
🙂
Liked this Keith. Shadows on the ground make me look thinner too. LOL
I’ve noticed that too!
🙂
Haha! Thanks for the smiles
My pleasure, Sadje!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Very true Mimi!
Mirrors ought to know their place … 😉
They need to reflect on their purpose in others’ lives!
LOL!!!! 🙂 yep, them do!
Well done Keith – those mirrors made going to the circus or arcades great fun …probably back in the day! Fun take on the word ‘temerity’ – cheers Hilary
They were fun, I wonder if they’re still around! Thanks, Hilary.
I’m not going looking for them!! Cheers – Hilary
A magic mirror’s temerity: Nice!
Indeed! Cheers.
Hahaha! I need one of the mirrors you walk through into some magic world! Ah, fairytales!
Someone called Alice had one of those!

Ha ha ha! A clever little story, Keith 🙂
Kind of you to say so Sunra, thank you!
How dare it, indeed! It’s not what we look at, it’s what we see 😉
