Reblog: Flash Back Track #11 Cosmic Dancer

As my regular readers will have read last week, I have joined KK as a co-presenter of the Flashback Track Friday prompt.

KK just published today’s prompt, so I’m looking forward to publishing a response of my own once I’ve put my thinking cap on. Plus, to reading any other responses to the prompt.

Oh, and if you’d like WordPress to notify you directly, rather than waiting for KK or I to repost, please start following our new blog.

      Watch out for next week, I think I’m gonna feature the Pogues.
