Hullo, everyone!
I have been tagged by the illustrious Elizabeth Hyde @Trivialities for the Bookworm Tag! I am very grateful for this, because tags are generally faster to execute than regular posts, and the time is just NOT HERE this week, so… yup.Hopefully I can come up with some marginally entertaining responses to her lovely questions, but we shall have to see.

Hello, hello, hello, my good folk!
It’s time for another Quirk! The illustrious wizard (and grandma) Jem Jones is the creator of this lovely flash fiction series, and we all appreciate her for that (among other things, because Jem is just the best and if you haven’t popped over to her blog yet you simply MUST).

Hey there, folks!
Today I draw your attention to that lovable specimen known commonly as the “Grump”, the “Grouch” or the “Curmudgeon.” My list ranges from part-time grumps to Hard-Core Curmudgeons (and may include one or two people that I just wanted an excuse to mention, if I’m being honest here).

Hullo, friends!
The lovely Elisha has tagged me for the Liebster Award (thank you muchly, Elisha)! Which I thought I had done a bunch of times but apparently I’ve only done it once…? (Back in 2017, guys, when this blog was nothing but a wee babe).
Huh. Memory doesn’t always work, you know. I should try to remember that.

Hello, bloggerly chums!
It’s been a long time since I did a proper Story Ramble post, which is a shame. I love doing them…but they take a bit more thought than I usually have at my disposal, unfortunately. (Of course I’d like to think that I’m a Deep Thinker, but…probably wishful thinking, truth be told.)

Greetings, merry friends!
So it’s another Quirk! Huzzah! (Maybe this time I will take it easier with the angst, but I make no promises.)
