Daylight Savings Begins

Ben rummaged within his covers looking for the phone he’d flung on his bed before crashing for the night himself to stop the annoying ringing that had woken him far too early based on his raging headache.  The ringing stopped just as he clasped the cool rectangle in his hand but promptly started again before …

Mother’s Day

Zara stood by the fridge trying to decide if she wanted one of the prepared green juices she’d blitzed up the night before or the weird ginger shots that Mindy told her and Steph to try for an immune system boost.  “Morning.” She called over her shoulder as she heard the shuffling of footsteps behind …

Holi

Ben was enjoying a long lunch, one of the few he had where he wasn’t scrambling to get some work completed or running from one side of the campus to the other because of his ridiculous dual major classrooms. He was surrounded by a few of the guys on the football team and some of …

St Patrick’s Day

Liam was stood on the porch at his parents, looking at his family as they began gathering in the garden. It wasn’t often they got nice weather like this and they were usually all gathered in his parent’s overcrowded living room, sitting atop each other on sofas and floors as they wrestled over food and …

International Women’s Day

“Cheers.” Zara said as they all held the glasses up together to meet in the middle of the table.  “Cheers!” The rest of the group chorused before they all took a sip of their drink. Every one had ordered something different, which meant it was easy to tell whose was whose when they were delivered …

World Book Day

Steph smoothed down her outfit one final time before unlocking the door. She didn’t usually wear something so form fitting but she’d seen the costume and knew it was perfect for today. She always decorated the store with a theme decided by her great aunt, dependent on her current favourite childhood book and this year …

Ash Wednesday

Fiona scrutinised her appearance in the mirror. It wasn’t something she enjoyed doing, in fact most mornings she barely looking in it other than to make sure her curls weren’t too wild and maybe put a little makeup on depending on her plans. But today she needed to look perfect, her mother could make a …

St David’s Day

Zara studied the room around her. It wasn’t often that she wondered what the hell she was doing with her life, or at least not in a professional capacity – every Sunday morning hungover walk home in yesterday’s dress made her wonder if all the good times she was racking up were really that good. …

Shrove Tuesday

It was a typical Tuesday morning, or at least typical for the start of the month when the usual rush of just got paid, time to fix my broken device drop ins and calls. Tim was in the back office working out a schedule and managing the phone as well as whatever emails there were …

Valentine’s Day

Tim was sitting behind his desk in the back office, a large cup of black coffee beside him as he completed the first task of his working day. Well the first task after unlocking, setting up the front, chasing his dad away from the pcs and devices he was working on, making coffee and answering …

Chinese New Year

Mindy threw a jacket over the back of her sofa at Tim before she simultaneously tried to put her own and a pair of heeled boots on. Unsurprisingly she fell and landed in a tangle of limbs and coats.  Tim sighed and moved to help her up but by the time he reached her she …

Burns Night

"Zara, get off Luke's lap you know the rules!" Ollie shouted as he spotted his sister sitting a little too close to one of his team mates on the other side of the bar. She raised her middle finger in his direction as a reply but did shift a little further away. "Didn't realise those …
