Today's Wordle

Today I feel either proud, stupid, or just plain stubborn.
    In the end I had the first two and the last two letters, but I could not, as in absolutely NOT find such a word, I then just typed in First two - Next not-grey letter from the keyboard - Last two.
    And I found the solution this way.
    And it was a totally new to me word.

Words for Wednesday ~ May 27

The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over as a moveable feast with many participants supplying the Words.
    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 c
oordinator 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:
Hand  
Useful  
Panic  
Horse  
Shape  
Sharp
    And/Or:
Nuisance  
Boredom  
Quizzical  
History  
Warfare  
Hair
    And A Bonus Set Of Words:
Notification  
Money  
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

Poetry Monday :: Scooter

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.

Dear Mimi. Stupid, stubborn Blogger simply refuses to let me leave any comments on your blog. I wrote:
Great poems on a balcony, the first was the best! I love that Little Annie is always wearing them blue boots ;)
- not big stuff, but I like to be able to comment now and then.

Today's prompt is
: Scooter

First I had to look up scooter - it was a surprice for me to learn what this meant. I only knew the - for me Italian - motorized version of this vehicle, not the kid's version, which I lioved as a kid. 
Then I tried finding rhymes whit scooter: Shooter, looter, router, suitor ... not very inspiring.
The sun is still shining, and I'm busy in the garden and elsewhere ...


Elfje to the rescue

Going
very fast
Just two wheels
and my two feet
Scooter!
