Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

A Friday afternoon’s fire, vainly resisting the night.

This is our weekly contribution to ‘the bloghop that Lizzi built’.

It is hosted by Dyanne.

The (current) roster of co-hostinae: Lisa, Pat (and, by write-in) Mimi

It was winter and the day’s light was calcified by the cold¹. The rain was frozen and the ground was hard². Those fortunate enough to have a warm house³ wondered at the plight of the creatures in the surrounding woods⁴. Food and seeds were tossed like confetti⁵ at Henry F Potter’s New Year’s Eve party. Dinner scraps and canapés, ignored by the wealthy banker’s guests were secreted away, meager but nourishing gifts for those less fortunate⁶. Outside the windows the blizzard’s wind raged, it’s icy voice roared like a hell-bound train.

Shall we proceed with this week’s list?

1) Phyllis (Attributes/qualities referenced above: 3, 4, 5 and 6)

Phyllis returning from checking the mailbox. (Well, in our defense, see those parallel paths in the snow? Yep, that was us.) Besides, somebody had to stay inside to take the photo…

2) Una (she loves the snow, in short bursts of drift-tunneling  will get us a video later, for Grat 8)

3) the Wakefield Doctrine because it is the best of tools to self-improve oneself

4) the Six Sentence Story bloghop… excellent readation available

5) the Six Sentence Cafe and Bistro (shh. secret club)

6) courtesy of the Book of Secret Rules (aka the Secret Book of Rules): Hypograts,  listed above: 1,2

7) serial stories ‘the Whitechapel Interlude’ and ‘the Case of the Missing Fig Leaf’

8) Coming Soon

9) something, something

10) Secret Rule 1.3 (“…if you get insight or, single-integer addition of the final Grat…well, that is cause to celebrate.”)
