Far and wide

Once upon a time, a young little girl who lived in a small village had a dream, a secret dream. Every single day the young little girl had to feed the pigs, the chickens, the hens and the rabbits, of her parent's farm. Although she liked animals she'd like to drive, but she was too young, so she resigned herself reading about cars.
This was the way that she spent all her time off, she wished a red car, a red Land Rover which she´d drive far and wide.
She could imagine herself driving in the route 66, crossing on her red Land Rover the E15 or the Great Ocean Road. But she was still living in the small village and she still was a young little girl. Nevertheless she didn't stop dreaming about driving far and wide the world.

My bucket list

A “bucket list” is a list of things that you have not done before but want to do in your life (or before kicking the bucket)! My bucket list is a never-ending list, there's always something new that I want to do.  Probably the thing I like most doing is traveling, so my bucket list is full of dreamed trips to wherever, but there's one which I can't miss: New York! But I don't actually resign myself just to one trip, furthermore what I really would like is to live there.
So my Top 10 bucket list are: living in New York, taking 2 step years traveling around the world, writing a book, finding a missing link in human evolution, having another son or daughter, drinking water from an iceberg, being teacher in Canada, speak French, make a movie and meeting Paul Auster, my favorite writer.

What would you like to do before you kick the bucket? Have you already done your bucket list?

Lead someone by the nose


Ana is my best friend since I was a teenager, we share pretty tastes and opinions. Usually we like the same books, and we enjoy watching the same movies, and several times we had chosen the same dresses, shoes, T-shirts or boots, even  we named our daughters Alba.  But when we talk about music we often disagree. I prefer Rock&Roll and she likes romantic music. Ana loves Antonio Orozco, she always sings his songs and talks about him. In my opinion he sounds a little corny and boring. Nowadays we are very busy, jobs, family, you know... but we always try to meet at least once at month. This month Antonio Orozco is coming to Valencia and she wants than we waste our month date going to his concert. Is she crazy? I'm not going even if she leads me by the nose.

A bee in my bonnet

This week I have a bee on my bonnet, I can stop thinking that my sisters' birthday are coming.
I have two sisters and both of them were born in November, my sister Marta on 22nd and my sister María on 27th, so I must buy two awesome presents for them.
I've been thinking what might be the perfect present for each, but I haven't arrived to any finding so what can I do? This time I'won't buy clothes nor perfumes, I'd like something special, something that they can't forget. Maybe a book for Marta, perhaps an old picture for María.  I really don't know what I'm going to do do. I have a bee in my bonnet and I can't sleep.
What about you? Do you have a bee in your bonnet?

The best thing since sliced bread

Most of us have heard the saying, “That’s the best thing since sliced bread!” What do you think is actually the best thing since sliced bread? In my opinion the best thing since sliced bread is the remote control. You can relax on your sofa meanwhile you are watching  a hundred of channels. Oh no, sorry, I was wrong, I didn't take the time to think about it. The best thing since sliced bread is the mobile, isn't it? You can be found by anybody, whenever and wherever you are, actually that doesn't sound pretty good. Ok, let me try again, the best thing since sliced bread is, is, is PIZZA!! YES, pizza is the best thing since sliced bread, it is a very big slice of bread, you can use almost anything as a pizza topping, sausage, bacon, green peppers, ham, mushrooms, onion, even pineapple, but of course you can't forget cheese, cheese is what makes pizza the best thing since sliced bread.

Maybe I'm not sure at all about what is the best thing since sliced bread, are you?

On your bike

Usually when I take the train, I always try to get a single seat. I love talking, but after four hours talking about the Palaeolithic, yesterday I actually needed a break, just reading or listening to some music, but the train was really crowded so I had to sit next to other woman.
Sincerely I didn't keep attention about her, I just took the seat and I opened my book, it's very interesting and I wanted to keep reading, that was what I tried when the woman siting next to me started to talk. First I didn't realise that she was telling me about her whole life. I always try to be polite, so I smiled to her and after few seconds I came back to my book, but she kept telling me a lot of stories that I didn't care, even I was very tired and I did want to read, I looked up to her and I smiled again, but I said nothing.
When I though that I could read my book, she touched me and said "Please, listen to me, when I was seven years old..." then I blew up and shouted her "Get on your bike"
This week I'm going to ask you a new writing prompt, on your bike I'm sure that you're going to guess the meaning of this idiom.
