#august break

On July 26, 2024 the last prompt for this round of Mystrade Monday prompts will be posted. MPAS will take the month of August to refresh and create new prompts for Mystrade Monday 4.0!

You’re encouraged to use any past prompts that tickled your fancy but didn’t get to yet. Tag us, @mystradepromptsandscenarios, and we’ll reblog your fic.

Don’t forget to add it to the Mystrade Monday Collection on AO3, if so inclined!

As the title states, there will be no new content coming out next month. I’ll take this time to figure out where I stand on half-done wips and focus on what I’d like to create next! Maybe also start thinking about simblreen because we all know it’s just around the corner!

One from today’s walk. Okay, not truly matching, there are similarities and dissimilarities, though all have the same number – disregarding the qualifiers. They caught my eye, nothing else turned up. French letter boxes are broadly homogenous. Something to do with La Poste’s rules, methinks. 7 Km today on a marked walk. A good day for it, without strong sun or punishing heat. A tad muggy.…

Quite a challenging prompt again. There is no fur in our little Shack. Fur is… ick… when not adorning its original host, that is. We do have a couple of Polar Fleece blankets, but that’s definitely not the same. Back to the Archive again, sorry. Now that we have neither cat nor dog companions, I frequently find myself longing to plunge my hands into some fur and to snuggle up to a little warm…

Do I have one? I can’t think of one right now. I have the usual unattainable wishes, just the same as most people, so it is hardly a secret in hoping for a better world. Let us just type, and see what comes out… Wishes seem too akin to prayers, neither will answer themselves. Hope is the thing that I cling to but action is the answer. I feel too old and tired to be much of an activist but I do…

Having purchased Crème Crue, we needed fruit. We Plum-ped for these Mirabelles. Mirabelles The scent of the rip fruit is gorgeous. They also look pretty, don’t they?

A trio of sausages. Not triplets – each sausage is a different flavour: Herb, Tomato, Smoked. For the curious: Aligot on the bottom, topped by a Roscoff Onion that I painstakingly caramelised with thyme. Those black plates are bringing out my inner chef, I think.

The ridges on these Mutti sauce bottles form Lines. I was quite excited to find these on my last shopping trip. I dislike Ketchup, always have, but I know that Mutti make some really good tomato products and decided that it might be worth trying their Ketchup out. Plus, it’s bottled in glass and not in plastic, and this is a Good Thing. Mr L fancied the Barbecue Sauce, so we bought both.
