Number 235 Was working on stuff last night and got side-tracked and then forgot to press publish!  This Monday, Judy over at Life Lessons, gave us the number 235 - so these are what popped up.  Mostly.  Some were dissed...

In the Interim – Friday Fictioneers Good Wednesday, my peeps!  Over here in Montreal the sun is shining.  It's still a tad chilly:  -4C, feels like -8C (25F/18F) but that's fine by me.  The lunchtime walk is nigh. It is also Friday Fictioneers time.  This week Rochelle has chosen a photo by Lori Wilson to inspire us.  Should you wish to play, click on my frog and hop on over to the squares and add your link!

The line must be used in prose, not poetry, and we must use it in the order it is written, no inserting of any words within the phrase.
