Månedens farve ~ Maj ~ Colour of the Month

Hello! If you're here for my A-Z post for W, please scroll down a bit.

Månedens farve for maj er  ~  The Colour of the Month for May is

A-Z Challenge ~ X for Xerox

⚠ Warning! This post almost contains the answer to today's Wordle ⚠
⚠ Proceed at your own risk ⚠

This year again I choose an easy way out. Each day I'm going to solve the Wordle of the day, using as starter a word beginning with the letter of the day. I plan to post the A-Z post around noon every day of April.

As the alternative badges, as supplied by Lissa suggest travel I'll prefer travel-related words as starter words, and if at all possible, I'll avoid words containing the same letter more than once.

I'll maybe add a few words about my chosen starter word if fancy takes me and I have time and energy for it, else I'll just post the solution - or not in the case that I did not solve it.

Today my starting word is Xerox.
The average today is 4.8 guesses out of 6, or moderately challenging. But it was a fail for me.

Also today I have no story to tell. Only that our parents took our letters home from the journey to Africa, hid the personal parts, and then they were Xeroxed and shared with other parents.

And now for today's Wordle:

The solution was not a word that I imagined to be the solution, it did not enter my mind ... actually no words with U and A in these positions did ... so I did what I do when I have no idea, I just enter the as yet grey letters in the order I see them, This means Q -W E - R and so on. QUA surprisingly have many strange word before reaching the solution ;) And I ran out of guesses.That last one I did not even think was a word.

Poetry Monday :: Plaid

Hello! If you're here for my A-Z post for W, please go back one post.

Poetry Monday is a blogging game invented long ago. Mimi of Messymimi's Meanderings and I are keeping it alive until Diane @ On the Border returns home from her break of health and relaxation, travelling the world with her husband as far as we can tell.

We just hope she's going to take back over once she returns home.

The prompts now come from 365 Days of Drawing Prompts and other Arts group. This is a Facebook group with a prompt for each day of the year, but no worries, the prompts will still be here and at Mimi's blog.

Today's prompt is: Plaid.
As so often when my brain feels empty, I take my refugee to short form pems, Haiku or Elfje - which seems to have a rennaissance under its German name Elfchen. I even found its name in English to be Elevenie. It is a small, but fun thing to write. Read more here.

Plaid,
Woollen, cozy,
Keeping me warm.
Alas, why is it
Itchy!

And as has happened for me more times recently I forgot to hit Publish, I blame busy, sunny spring days and the A-Z Challenge.

A-Z Challenge ~ W for Wagon

This year again I choose an easy way out. Each day I'm going to solve the Wordle of the day, using as starter a word beginning with the letter of the day. I plan to post the A-Z post around noon every day of April.

Today my starting word is Wagon.
The average today is 6 guesses out of 6, or very challenging. I am below average again today.

Wagon - One of the parts a train is composed of. In Egypt took a train along the Nile through desert and ferile lands down to the Aswan dam - that's the train journey with the Nomads from N.

We stayed in the train for a very long time. It was strange to be suddenly analphabetic. But as we did not read much Arabic, we were functionally analphabetics here. Every time the train stopped, we asked, along with quite a few Egyptians actually: "Where are we?" And some smart person looked at the name of the station and told us.

We also drowe through a sandstorm, not a bad one, but we had sand everywhere. Even in the inside bottom end of my sleeping bag, that had been rolled together during the trip. I did not sleep in the train, but many did, and as the train emptied, some of the smarter ones crawled up and laid down in the overhead luggage racks. We even made a song about this, on the tune of Jailhouse Rock which had been made in a Danish version only a few years earlier. We had much fun and sang much during this journey.

And now for today's Wordle, which at the beginning made me think that they did not use any letters. Well they almost did not:

Sunday Selection ~ Wordle 🙂

The only thing I've found with the colour of the month:

Are more Wordles. It's not the exact same green, but close enough. Today I'm not doing A-Z, my Wordle does not count for my stats, I was free to fool around. I did and that may be why I did not solve it today.  It should not be that hard, only 4.8 of 6.
