Poetry Monday :: No Poetry Edition ~
Colour26 & Wordle - Solution!

Today it's Poetry Monday, and the prompt is Blue.

Today I've been away plant dyeing all day. And no, we did not dye Blue, butt a pretty reddish brown.

Today I solved the Wordle with only Greens again. The answer was not Blue either. Chili is Red.

Because of the solution, my post won't go live until midnight.

.
Today it's the first of June. The colour of the month is Razzmatazz, which most of us, including  Mimi's Little Annie and River's twins would simply call Pink. Even if the colour of Our Lady normally is Blue, this was the colour of the flowers I picked for her today.

A whole post with neither Blue nor any Poetry. I hope you'll forgive me.

My comments are still mostly not posting - even here. And if they do post, half of them dissapear without trace.

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
