Dribbles and Drabbles -

NEW HAIRCUT

‘Dad, now I’m qualified let me cut your hair.’

She seemed to know what she was talking about when he stated his requirements so he agreed.

‘All done’, she said passing him the mirror.

He saw a chicken. Or was it a rooster. No, it was a chicken. Not the promised Mohican.

PATRICK’S ROUTINE

Patrick enjoyed routine.

Routine made Patrick happy.

Routine made Patrick feel safe.

Routine gave Patrick a sense of having some control in an ever-changing world.

Patrick’s routine involved doing the same chores and eating the same food on the same day of every week.

His timetable was:

Sunday, church and roast dinner.

Monday, laundry and sausages.

Tuesday, ironing and fish.

Wednesday, gardening and pork pie.

Thursday, housework and liver.

Friday, shopping and chicken.

Saturday, football and ham.

One Saturday he met Sandra at a home game and although they loved each other dearly they never married; their routines wouldn’t dovetail.

 This is a drabble of 100 words
