Prompts
- On the birthday of Muhammad Ali, write about a boxer.
- "Love that is not madness is not love". Pedro Calderon de la Barca
- It's cable car day. Write about some people who are stuck in a cable car.
- In 1989, two women became the first to reach the South Pole on skis. Write about some women who decide to follow in their ski tracks.
- It's the feast day of St Antony, who had a gift for taming wild animals and ran a hospital for sick pigs. Farmers observe the day by not doing farm work and blessing their beasts of burden. Some modern priests have updated this practice and will bless people's cars. There has to be a story in there somewhere!
