What have you done with your extra hour?
This has been the house of junk food and movies today. And as I write this Neil and Isla are bonding over Super Mario Bros.
The writing prompt this week was a little backwards, but as promised here are the posts on Prep:
Deb on how blogging isn’t for the fainthearted (also, read the comments.)
Ritu’s wordplay
Carol’s Biscuit Crumbs
Susanne’s Ready or Not
and
Rebecca’s review of a writing submission app (which I need.)
This week’s writing prompt is ROADTRIP, inspired by my recent travels over here.
Add this week’s words by Friday, November 2nd. We’ve already had some great posts!
Have fun, think big, the road’s open.

Isn’t the extra hour next week, or is the UK different? Like chips instead of fires? And I have a road trip story to share, finally get to take part in this!
The UK was today, but I’m bilingual. So happy you have a road trip to share too. I thought you might, somehow.
Lorna, road trips are the best, especially when you discover something new!
The extra hour really meant nothing lol! I was still up early… But at least now I’ll get a bubble bath in this evening as got the kids to bed early!
Hope you are recovering from the parentals visit, too!
Their visit was a blessing, only issue was having to sleep on the sofabed which sucks!!!
And back to school tomorrow means no more lounging around reading!!!
We don’t get our extra hour until next weekend. In the meantime, there’s nothing like a good road trip! Now, to narrow them down to one! It will be fun to try. 🙂
I’m guessing we can write about any road trip? Do we then publish it to wordpress when written, As long as it is by Friday? Thanks.
Hi Marian, Yep, any road trip by Friday! Please link up to this post somewhere in your road trip post, and I’ll add it to Friday’s roundup of posts.
How to link:
Highlight the text you want to hyperlink/show up as the link.
Click the link icon in the WordPress editor toolbar.
Paste the link to this post (or any post you want to link to)
Click the gear icon, and select ‘open link in new tab’.
Click the green ‘add link’ button.
The text you selected will now be a hyperlink to the URL you added in the Edit box.
Have fun,
Lorna
Oh wow, I will try and give it a go.
Thanks Lorna, I enjoyed writing this one 🙂 . Great responses by everyone again this week.
Next one is shaping up already, too!

Got you. Thanks, Marian. I’ll add you to the roundup on Friday, and here’s a video tutorial I found on youtube about adding links to your blog posts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYmdZiIPtak
ok thanks Lorna
Looks like a good use of that extra hour. The US has our extra hour this weekend. Hmm… think I’ll push the lazy limits to the max.
The extra hour …. it was nice to wake up “later” but my cat doesn’t understand time change though!
I was so confused all day on Sunday about what the actual time was!! I spent that extra hour cleaning after our in laws left. I may have also been a wee bit hungover too!!
Road trip. I absolutely love a road trip!!
Roundup of posts going up tomorrow, if you have one.
Yes, ultimately after some days of going down with viral fever, I have been able to finally write it for the prompt here, Lorna…:)… https://mydailyjournalonline.com/5-undeniable-reasons-to-love-road-trips/ ….. hope you will like this one.
Being retired an extra hour doesn’t really make muh difference to me except there’s more light when I wake up #MMBC
I was SO looking forward to the extra hour of sleep – we were away visiting friends out of town, the girls and I all staying together in the same attic bedroom, and I’d had visions of the girls getting up early like always and going downstairs to play with their friends, and me slumbering undisturbed. Alas, Essie was having breathing problems all weekend (she has asthma), so I had her in bed next to me to literally make sure she was still breathing, so I got even less sleep than in a normal night because she kept wheezing and coughing herself (and me) awake! Oh, well, I’ll catch up on sleep someday…like when they go to college, maybe?
Hehe bonding over games can form really strong bonds, too! 😉 As for extra hour, unfortunately we didn’t have that in Singapore, but that’s okay! 😉
