Because we put our clocks forward last weekend Julia’s prompt is ‘time marches on’. Here is my entry.
Past Times
She slithered under the metal bedstead. The object of her desire waited in the dark, dusty space in all its splendour. It had a picture of a dog, and a large winding tube, like a Sally Army trumpet, that she could fit her head into. What could it be she wondered?
‘Get out of there now you naughty girl, I told you not to touch that.’ Surprised, she banged her head on the diamond shaped mesh under the mattress.
That was sixty years ago, now she could plug a tiny gadget into her ears and listen to a thousand different songs. Time marches on.

Past
Scarily it does, no matter what we do.
Yes it does, and for every generation there is lovely music, music, music. Good one, Gilly.
Gosh what a history lesson Gilly!
Well said Gilly!
love your thinking Gilly, we were playing a windup gramophone at bookclub last month, it was once Stuart’s grandmothers!
Lucid Gypsy – great use of the prompt comparing past and present!
Thank you Mrs W and well done on the volunteering, I’ve done an awful lot over the years!
Miss those times sometimes! Nicely done Gilly 🙂
