College is off for a whole fortnight and I'm trying to make good use of the time. Two flash pieces subbed so far and another on the cusp. One of them, 'The Doctor's Receptionist', has already been accepted by the Short Humour Site. Having worked hard on that, I'm well-chuffed. Here it is:

I enjoy appearing in the Short Humour Site. It's very much my sort of place, down to earth, pithy and, like it says on the tin, FUNNY.
Can I have now have a rant about Christmas. I spent most of last week preparing for it! Seeing family, including daughter, son-in-law to be and son was terrific. Seeing other friends and relatives throughout this week is also great. But do we need ALL the razzmatazz? It's all becoming too much, imo. We - all of us - spend far too much on presents, on things the recipients don't want or need, just because we feel we should give them something up to a certain price. I enjoy cooking the traditional Christmas stuff - Christmas cake, Christmas pudding, mincepies, trifle etc - but again, a bit of moderation is required. Do we need all the trimmings, every year?
As for Christmas TV... don't get me started. I personally have only watched one thing, 'The Murder on the Orient Express' with David Suchet on Christmas night and it was RUBBISH!
And white Christmasses? No, I really don't want 'all my Christmasses to be white'.
So, on with the subs!
