Words for Wednesday :: An Unforgettable Meeting.

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 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:
1.prefer  2.myth  3.common  4.category  5.store  6.image
    and/or:
1.flower  2.saintly  3.stormy  4.sheep  5.bank  6.face

Today I'll prefer a real experience to the myth I normally spin.

Today I was at a meeting in the room above the church, where we drink coffee after mass some Sunday. This is a common enough occurrence, but something happened to place this meeting in the "unforgettable" category.  I hope to store this image in my mind for a long time. We sat talking, almost done with the agenda, as the building suddenly shook. Not much, but enough to upset us. It was a strange feeling. We discussed what it could be, had the house been rammed by a car, or had something blown up? We went to the windows and looked out. I saw a car reversing out of the parking lot - totally unharmed. Nowhere was there any smoke or any signs of anything untoward happening. No ambulance or police sirens were heard. We joked with it being an earthquake, but then again earthquakes does not happen in Denmark.

We finished our meeting. Did the dishes, watered the flowers and lit a candle in front of the saintly looking picture of Our Lady in the church downstairs before parting ways.

It was rainy and somewhat stormy, not enjoyable, so I hurried to the train station, only just noticing some fun, knitted sheep in a shop window, but as there was no branch of my bank in this town, I just caught the next train home. In the train I saw a familiar face. My son was in the same train. I asked him if he had noticed any shaking or something. He had not.

Back home I sat down and read the news. An earthquake of magnitude 3.9 actually hit Denmark today at 4.15 pm. 

PS: I'm still haunted by "Bloogers" and still cannot always comment. I suspect many of you can't either, 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.

Poetry Monday :: Balcony ~ Updated witrh a comment to Mimi!

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: Balcony

I'm busy editing, the sun is shining, Blogger is still not updating or letting me comment ... lots of excuses, so I sat myself down and did what I do when the muses won't colaborate. I wrote an Elfje.

Balcony,
Romeo, Juliet.
The curtain rises,
the scene is set.
Tragedy.

Service Announcement Updated ~ Blogger! ~ Servicemeddelelse opdateret

Dear readers and co-bloggers, my blogrolls are not updating, and I am only sporadically allowed to post comments on Blogger-blogs. Strangely there's no problems commenting on WP or self-hosted blogs.

I'll try just visiting your blogs when I suspect something new has happened.

For instance: River has posted the prompts for Words for Wednesday, even if my blogroll still gives her former post.

--  @  --

Kære læsere og med-bloggere, mine læselister gider ikke opdatere, og jeg får kun af og til lov til at skrive en kommentar på jeres blog, hvis I også bruger Blogger. Der er ingen problemer med at kommentere hos WordPress eller self-hosted blogs.
    Jeg vil forsøge bare at besøge jeres blogs, når jeg tror der er noget nyt.
    For eksempel har River planmæssigt udgivet stikordene til Words for Wednesday, selv om hendes blog stadig viser det forrige opslag i min læseliste.

The no comments allowed looks like this. This is a screenshot from Messymimi's Meanderings, but it also affects many more blogs, among those Christine's Blog, Drifting Through Life (River), Strikkoman, and The Other Side of 80. Sometimes if I close down everything and reboot, I can post one comment, but that's not exactly a good solution. I hope Blogger will fix this soon.

Sådan her ser det ud, når jeg prøver at kommentere. Det er et skærmdump fra Mimis blog, men det sker også på Christine's Blog, River's blog, Strikkoman og en hel del andre.
Nogen gange går dagens første kommentar igennem, eller hvis jeg lukker og genstarter computeren. Men det er jo ikke en holdbar løsning. Jeg vente på Blogger.
