But What If She Says Yes?

It was all the fault of his wife thought Daniel as he stood nervously on the doorstep of the rather rundown bungalow. She had bought him a DNA Ancestry test kit for his 50th birthday thinking it would be fun for him to trace his ancestors and create a family tree.

Except it threw up all sorts of questions especially concerning one extremely strong familial link.

Taking a deep breath Daniel knocked for the second time, with only one question on his mind as he watched an elderly lady make her way slowly to the door.

“Are you my mother?”

My first and probably my only attempt at a ‘drabble’ challenged by my blogging pal Margaret for a 100 word Saturday based on this photo she took.

Monochrome Madness | Music

This week’s Monochrome Madness is being hosted by the lovely Margaret  from From Pyrenees to Pennines and her chosen theme is Music. I wondered whether I had any related photos as it is a genre I don’t usually photograph, but I was surprised by what I could find. The first one taken in Victoria Falls in December 2000 was memorable by its location and also the fact that these guys are actually blind.

I seem to be fond of drummers though don’t let my OH hear me say that.

And there is nothing better than listening to music than dancing to it!
