Word for Wednesday is a challenge that was started a long time ago. Now it has turned into a movable event with Elephant's Child as our coordinator; and the Words provided by a number of people.
The general idea of this challenge is to make us write. Poems, stories, subtitles, tales, jokes, haiku, crosswords, puns, ... you're the boss.
Use all Words, some Words, one Word, or even none of them if that makes your creative juices flow. Anything goes, only please nothing rude or vulgar.
In July, MotherOwl - yes, that's me will supply us with prompts, but they'll appear at Elephant's Child's blog. I wrote and sent them back in December last year, so they are as new to me as they are to you. I hope they'll get us all writing.
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.

Word for Wednesday er en udfordring, der startede for længe siden. Nu er det blevet en bevægelig begivenhed med Elephant's Child som vores koordinator og ordene bliver leveret af en række personer.
Den generelle idé med denne udfordring er at få os til at skrive. Digte, historier, fortællinger, vittigheder, haiku, krydsord, ordspil, ... du bestemmer.
Brug alle ordene, nogle af dem eller kun et enkelt, eller måske endda ingen af dem, hvis det får din kreativitet til at blomstre. Alt er tilladt, men helst ikke noget vulgært eller fornærmende.
I juli vil Uglemor – ja, det er mig – give os nye ord hver onsdag, men de vil blive offentliggjort på Elephant's Childs blog. Jeg skrev og sendte dem tilbage i december sidste år, så de er lige så nye for mig som for jer. Jeg håber, de vil få os alle til at skrive.
Det er også en udfordring, hvor det gamle ordsprog »Jo flere, jo bedre« holder stik.
Så husk at følge linkene, gå tilbage og læse andres historier. Og skriv gerne en kommentar, når du har læst. Udfordringer som denne holdes i live af interaktion, kommentarer og opmuntring. Og vi har ALLE brug for opmuntring.

This Wednesday's Words:
Inquire
Constitute
Stray
Sway
Royal
Warn
And/or
Window
Undo
Group
Cheerful
Black
Bewildered
Spotted
Making sentences with these word telling about my recent ideas. I do not know how many will see the light of day, and how many are just stray ideas in a bewildered mind.
This is a work in progress and I'll cheerfully add to it in the coming week.
When I saw all the left over pieces of wood from building our shed, I picked up the courage to inquire about what would happen to them. The answer was that they would end up, sorted, as material for new boards. But I was free to take any I could use.
Since then I have made it a part of my daily routine to check out the scrap pile. Some days ago I spotted a heap of cool coarse grained plywood / chipboard called OSB. I fell for their special looks, and as I told this Sunday got the idea to use those for puzzle pieces.
In the scrap pile I also found some normal plywood boards. One of these I cut into a big square, and I'm going to make a Barn Quilt to hang on the shed - this will probably be finished when the door and windows arrive.
I have no idea what a Barn Quilt is called in Danish, or whether it even exists. It is a patchwork/quilting pattern painted on a board and hung up on barns and outbuildings as decoration, or to convey a message, or to sway tourists to come inside.
It is usually made up by squares and triangles that constitute a named pattern – the names do not always have much to do with the appearance. I fell for a pattern called Cactus Rose*, I like it, and very importantly, so do the other residents of Owlery.

Denne onsdags ord er:
Spørge
Udgøre
Strejfe, strejfer, tilfældig
Svaje, overtale
Kongelig
Advare
Og/eller
Vindue
Fortryd
Gruppe
Glad, genne, i godt humør
Sort
Forvirret
Plettet, få øje på,
Nu vil jeg skrive sætninger med disse ord, der fortæller om mine seneste ideer. Jeg ved ikke, hvor mange der vil se dagens lys, og hvor mange der bare er tilfældige ideer i en forvirret hjerne.
Dette er en liste under udarbejdelse, og jeg vil glad og gerne føje til den i den kommende uge.
Da jeg så alle de stumper og stykker af træ fra opførelsen af vores skur, tog jeg mod til mig og spurgte, hvad der ville ske med dem. Svaret var, at de ville ende med at blive sorteret og brugt som materiale til nye brædder. Men jeg måtte tage alle dem, jeg kunne bruge.
Siden da har jeg gjort det til en del af min daglige rutine at tjekke smid ud-bunken. For nogle dage siden fik jeg øje på en bunke interessante, grovkornet krydsfiner/spånplader kaldet OSB. Jeg faldt for deres specielle udseende og fik lyst til at bruge dem til puslebrikker, som jeg fortalte om i søndags
I bunken med affald fandt jeg også nogle normale krydsfinerplader. En af disse skar jeg ud i en stor firkant, og jeg vil lave en Barn Quilt til at hænge på skuret – den vil sandsynligvis være færdigt, når døren og vinduerne ankommer.
Jeg aner ikke, hvad Barn Quilt hedder på dansk, eller om det overhovedet findes. Det er et patchworkmønster, malet på en plade, og hængt op på lader og udhuse som dekoration, eller for at fortælle noget, eller overtale turister til at komme indenfor.
Det er normalt kvadrater og trekanter, der udgør et navngivent mønster - navnene har ikke altid så meget med udseenet at gøre. Jeg faldt for et mønster der hedder Kaktusrose* - jeg kan lide det, og meget vigtigt, det kan de andre indbyggere i Ugleboet også.
