When Delores closed her blog forever due to other problems, Elephant's Child (Sue) took over the role of coordinator.
Now, after Sue's demise, River has taken the mantle of coordinator upon her shoulders.
No matter what, how, where or who the aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to our mind.
This month the words are to be found at Mimi's blog: Messymimi's Meanderings.
If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please leave a comment on River's blog, then we can come along and read it and add a few encouraging words.
It is also a challenge, where the old saying "The more the merrier" holds true.
So Please, remember to follow the links, go back and read other peoples' stories. And please leave a comment after reading. Challenges like this one thrives on interaction, feedback and encouragement. And we ALL need encouragement.
And for today we were given:
Panic
Horse
Shape
Sharp
And/Or:
History
Warfare
Hair
And A Bonus Set Of Words:
Cotton
Spray
Clock
Mug
Short story using the first two or three words from each batch.
Sometimes, when I do not have to use my hands for something useful, I relax by solving a Rubic's Cube. It is sometimes a nuisance to solve, but boredom is not a word, I connect with the cube.
I learned how to solve it on a long Interrail journey from Copenhagen to Paris, many, many years ago. Recently I have learned a new, faster method.
Once upon a time my quizzical mind wanted to combine The Rubic's Cube and Pentominoes.
Notification for those wanting to try: It's impossible, and you'd lose your money if you held against me betting on this.
I once made a mock up of my dream-cube.
You see the Pentominoes Z and W on the blue/green faces, T and P on the red/orange faces, and F and X on the yellow/white faces.
PS: I'm still haunted by "Bloogers" and still cannot always comment, sometimes I can't even reply to your comments here on my blog.
I suspect many of you have the same problems, as there's even less than the usual number of comments on any post here.
Know that I read and enjoy still, and hope that you do the same.
And today's Wordle was really fun for me ... I was afraid of running out of guesses, but I made it

I can never solve a rubic's cube. I don't know anything about Pentominoes, they sort of look easy but sounds complex.
SvarSletHave a lovely day.
Pentominoes are fun, simple and intriguing. Luck and persistence ois needed more than skill actually.
SletRubik's cube needs skills. You have to learn how to.
I’ve never been able to get a Rubik’s cube, although I would love to have time one day to watch a tutorial on it and learn.
SvarSletGood work on the Wordle.
Thank you on the Wordle.
SletI do not remember from where I had that first one, probably a birthday gift all those years ago. To watch a tutorial is probably a good way to learn.
I bought Rubik's cubes for my kids one Christmas and none of us was ever able to solve them, though one son peeled off all the colours and stuck them back on to look like he had solved it.
SvarSletHehe, that' cheating! I had one fall into pieces. This happen if you twist too fast or too energetically. They can be put back together again.
SletPeeling off the colours and putting them back on again might be the only way to solve my pentomino-cube ;)
