I forgot: Dan Antion, our Doormeister, has declared an activity:
Last week, I announced the First Annual Thursday Doors Writing Challenge. Hopefully, many of the door lovers assembled here will designate a door that can be used for inspiration for the writers among our collective followers and visitors….So, if you see a door today and are so inspired that you dash off a poem, compose a song, or begin writing that novel whose characters have been nagging you – let yourself go. Your story can be fiction or non-fiction, short or long, whatever you want to write.
So here is my designated door:
Here are some more pictures from my Day Out for coffee and lunch with fellow writers.
This isn’t a door, obvs, but I do wish I’d seen this before I ordered my coffee. It isn’t a very good advertisement for food or drink.
Happily, we went somewhere else for lunch.
Here’s the inside of the outside door.
Here’s the necessary. Unisex, because why not? The ones I have at home are unisex. Also: Bonus access door.
Also not a door, but isn’t it happy?
Thursday doors is under the direction of Dan Antion, photographer extraordinaire and critter daddy. Visit his site, enjoy his wonderful photographs, follow his directions, and enter a world of doors.
A WRITING PROMPT FROM ME TO YOU: Ignoring a clear warning.

April 29, 2021 at 11:37amThese are great doors, Marian. Thanks for designating one for the writing challenge. Our master bath, such as it is, is unisex, but the half bath next to it is a ladies room. According to the Editor and she who is our daughter.
I love the surround for that mirror.

April 29, 2021 at 2:34pmLove the mirror frame and the first mural?, although I’m a bit at sea about why there’s a door that opens into what looks like a workspace or a place where construction is going on and it’s in the ladies’ room? What am I missing here??

April 30, 2021 at 9:01amI’m at sea about that door, too. I have no idea why it was there, or why there was a painting inside it. I saw the little door and OF COURSE I had to open it. My best guess is that it was somebody’s whimsy. But it seemed a good door to feature for a writing challenge.

May 3, 2021 at 10:56amThe first door is probably the most unusual one I’ve seen yet, Marian. That mirror in the last shot is beautiful. I never thought I’d see the day when I would be jealous of someone having lunch with friends.

May 3, 2021 at 11:48amIt was amazing, having lunch with friends again! It was invigorating, but exhausting, having become accustomed to groups equaling danger.
