I imagined him a "lonely voice in the wilderness" and someone who was fighting against a grievous situation that everyone else was willing to ignore. Like a WWII vet protesting an HOA that won't let him fly a flag in his own yard or a Holocaust survivor quietly protesting a neo-Nazi official. At any rate, I really liked it. Great job!Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-55987893959230479772017-08-17T13:43:11.390+09:302017-08-17T13:43:11.390+09:30Gary; I'm sure you have plenty of string somew...Gary; I'm sure you have plenty of string somewhere.

Will post on the blog tomorrow but here it is for you. <br /><br />Tom was puffing so much when he got to the top of the hill he really thought he was about to pass out. He once again told himself he really must lose some weight especially now Tim had suggested a few days away together would be a good thing for them both.<br /><br />These past few days as he readied himself for his morning shave he had stood there looking at himself in the mirror, frowning* as he noticed how much further back his hairline had receded.<br /><br />His brother Tim had confused him by talking about a fishing trip in The Territory when he was under the impression they were going to South Australia. Seems the fish were bigger and better up there and you could catch something almost* every time you put your rod in the water.<br /><br />Once upon a time Tim had been the Supreme Champion in the fly fishing club but had conceded defeat after the terrible goings on at last year's championship event.<br /><br />Each fisher was supposed to make their own flies but because the arthritis in his fingers had become a problem he had done a despicable deed and got a youngster to make them (under my tutorage he protested when the truth came out)<br /><br />Oh well, thought Tom, maybe this trip will do us both good. We both deserve a treat. Being twins meant they'd shared so much during their lives, another birthday together wasn't going to harm them.<br /><br />He thought of the fun they'd had on the last one his mother had organised for them with a banner over the door and candles on each of theie cakes. That had been eight years ago - maybe he'd better put some flowers on her grave before they went away.<br /><br /> Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09487589871746402154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-44035943979331283282017-08-16T19:39:02.969+09:302017-08-16T19:39:02.969+09:30Thank you for hosting this month!
