Heart thumping in rapid thump, thump, thump pulsations, she closed her eyes picturing as she did spacious fields all about the little wood cabin. The elements must’ve read her thoughts as time itself seemed to spasm in rare fits and starts about her. Having already lost him once she tightened her grip on the dog then tapped the heels of her ruby glass slippers together and wished three times aloud. Soon she and the dog were weightless… tumbling round and around ’til finally the spinning ceased, the magic spell had been released. Where had she been?…. It had all been a dream or….was it? Maybe it would always remain an enigma.
As most of you will know this of course the 1939 movie <a href=”The Wizard of Oz based on the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum
Starring the then 16 year old actress Judy Garland
Funny how things seem to suddenly spring to mind from seeing the wordle words. This came to me from the words glass, weightless and tumbling and even more of a coincidence it was on one of our TV channels last night and, that sealed it for me.

Oh those flying monkeys will be here soon better click our heels before the full moon, then we have to hear “I’m melting” ten thousand times and some big voice shout scary chimes. Wait! Those shoes won’t fit. Bloody Hell, I’ll have to take the hit.

Beautiful rendering of Dorothy’s dreams…
