To Make a Long Story Short

Construct a story in six words
A challenge accepted by Ernest Hemingway
And solved in the following way
For sale: baby shoes, never worn.
Now it’s my turn to compete
In words only six quite clear

That is so true, I’ve made some amazing friends through blogging and through twitter as well.

Aww… That’s nice!
The Hemingway story has very sad connotations.
“My brain is not working today”
Does that tell a story?

@Maz - So have I.
@Mike - Mmmmm…!
@Steph - I think you need some salts, of the Andrews variety!
Enjoy the tennis!

Grannymar,
With the Olympics coming up in Beijing, my story is about one event:
“Synchronized swimmer drowns; do all drown?”

@Nancy - That is something I never thought about before! Now I wonder… Mike is the swimmer, we will have to ask him.
@ChrisD - Give it time, join in and attend meet-ups.
@Judy - You and I have both enjoyed meeting bloggers in real life.

I like it GM. Mr. Doyle challenged me to this some months ago but I have hard a very hard time coming up with anything fitting. Back to the drawing board.

That is not like you to give in. Don#t think about it, just get on and do it.
Lottie said,

@GM - That could be it. “Not like me to give up” You may be onto something.
Mike said,

Weather hasn’t changed much….

You were swimming today?
It was grey, wet and miserable here until 4pm today.
Mike said,
July 5, 2008 at 9:40 pm
Its lashing here. The sea wag rough with a big swell
Great fun when your in but you had to time it right getting out otherwise you’d be hammered by the breaking wave and sucked into the gulley

With all this talk of swimming, I need a hot toddie.
Mike said,
July 5, 2008 at 9:53 pm

Grannymar said,

Nice one GrannyMar and I totally agree with yours. . . I have one for today as I madly make pasta:
“Lunch with friends makes me happy!”
Enjoy your Sunday!

‘Time is best spent with family’ would be mine after my recent holiday
