100 words!

“I needed a brick wall in my garden to separate my wonderful floral displays from my legendary vegetables. I found a builder claiming  to an expert, although you can’t always believe what tradesmen tell you, they can be a bit boastful.

I was telling him about my recent achievements, stuff I’d done, things I’d won. I was surprised he’d not heard of me, after all I am quite a celebrity around here.

But look at that. Why the odd shaped portal?”

“You’ve got such a big head, he probably wanted to ensure you could get could through without bumping it!”

    Well, I wasn’t expecting THAT! Laughed out loud, so you win the day so far 🙂

      I couldn’t have asked for a nicer response, thank you, Linda!

    No, Keef, say it ain’t so!
    I don’t believe it.
    The bit about legendary vegetables, I mean!

    Hahaha! Nothing like bringing down a boastful oaf down a peg!

    Just a tad big for the door, isn’t he! Great ending.

      Thanks too for the photo, Fleur.

    Sometimes, blowing your own trumpet, the tune sounds different to the listeners.

    I was going through my walker on my phone for a tidy up…and saw this photo…realising I hadn’t sent it to Rochelle yet! The stories are so varied and all so clever.

    I’ve tried correcting my previous comment, but no luck. ‘Walker’ should read ‘gallery’. Absolutely no idea how that happened!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings May 18, 2026 / 12:24

      Got it!
      It’s so nice to have a picture that offers more than one possibility when coming up with a tale.

    Yeah, sorry about that typo.. ‘walker’ was meant to be gallery…autocorrect mucked up there!
    Im glad you enjoyed the photo, so many good yarns spun from it.
