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 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:
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!

Søndagsbilleder ~ en travl uge & Colour 26 Sunday Selections ~ a Busy Week

I går aftes satte jeg mig ned og skrev dette ordmaleri, Fotos kommer til sidst:

Nu er en travl uge forbi. Jeg har redigeret et blad, kogt sæbe, lavet salver, pakker det hele pænt, ordnet have til den store guldmedalje og frosset rabarber ned.

I dag var jeg på marked i Vejby, sæsonens første, med plantebytte og højt, klart solskin. Jeg havde fyldt cykelanhængeren med planter. Markedet i dag gik godt - og jeg fik solgt eller byttet mine flotte bronzefennikelplanter -  men det var hårdt at cykle frem og tilbage, for der var noget i vejen med min cykelanhænger. Heldigvis har jeg altid et cykel-multi-værktøj i tasken, så jeg kunne reparere det før turen hjem.

Her til aften blev jeg færdig med at lave lay out og læse korrektur.

Her til aften gemte jeg det reviderede, næsten færdigt til tryk, der mangler en lille tekst, der først kommer mandag aften. Men alt andet er på plads.

Her til aften kom Skribenten hjem før lovet, fordi han nåede et forsinket tog undervejs, forsinkelser er ikke altid af det onde, så vi kunne spise sammen i god ro og fred.

Her til aften gik jeg ud i skumringen og vandede haven og puttede hønsene. Månen var præcis halv, syrenerne duftede, og alting groede. Haven havde et par søde overraskelser til mig.

Pinsen er begyndt - helligdage starter jo ved vesper aftenen i forvejen,

Last night I sat down and wrote this peaceful word-picture, photo-pictures will follow.

Today marks the end of a busy week. I’ve been editing a small magazine, soaping, making unpetroleum jelly and packaging all these for the market, I've been weeding and woking in the garden and harvesting and freezing rhubarbs for pie and cakes later on.

Today I went to the Farmers' Market – the first of the season – including plant swap and under a bright, blue sky. I’d filled my bike trailer with plants. The market went well, and I managed to sell or swap my lovely bronze fennel plants – but it was hard work biking there and back again, as there was something wrong with my bike trailer. Luckily, I always carry a multi-tool in my bag, and was able to fix it before heading home.

Tonight I finished lay-outing and proofreading.

Tonight I saved the revised text, almost ready to send to the printer; all that’s missing is a small piece of text that won’t arrive until Monday evening. But everything else is in place.

Tonight the Writer came home earlier than expected, because he had caught a delayed train. Sometimes delays are good! We could eat dinner together without it being too late.

Tonight I went out at dusk to water the garden and put the chickens to bed. The moon was exactly half, the lilacs smelled deliciously, and everything was growing. The garden had a couple of lovely surprises in store for me.

Pentecost has begun – the holidays always start at vespers the evening before.

Der er 500 gram rabarber i hver pose, lige tilpas til en kage.
Each bag contains 500 grams, just right for a cake.

De første Iris var sprunget ud i vores frøsø, og lyste gyldent mod bladene i tusmørket.
The first yellow irises were blooming in the pond, golden against the green in the dusk.

Tulipaner, jeg tror nok det er en sygdom, der får dem til at se sådan ud, men jeg kan godt lide det.
Tulips. I think the two coloured petals are caused by a disease, but I like the looks.

En nats frost. Selv dækket med lagener kunne græskarret Uchi kuri ikke lide det. Jeg tror den overlever, men ...
One night of frost. Even covered with sheets the small pumpkin called Uchi Kuri did NOT like the frost. It will survive, but ...

Den samme græskarsort sået samme dag, men den har stået inde i domen hele tiden.
The same pumkin, sown same day, but planted inside the greenhouse.

Uden for domen gror der vaidplanter, de er ikke til at styre, og kommer op over det hele med deres fine, gyldne blomster. Jeg har aldrig nogen førsteårsplanter - og det er dem der giver farve. Sært.

Outside the greenhouse there's many woad plants. They grow everywhere and flower with an abundance of golden flowers. I never find any of the small first year plants, and they are the dyers - strange things happen.

Inde i domen har jeg ladet en underlig plante stå, jeg har været ved at hive den væk flere gange, for den var altså lidt stor, men den så så underlig ud, så den fik lov at leve. Nu blomstrer den så, og afslører sig som vaid, en farveplante, der farver smuk gyldengult, og som jeg ha prøvet at få til at gro ude i beden i flere år.Hvordan den lige er endt herinde, aner jeg ikke, men jeg er meget glad for den.

Inside the dome I let a strange plant survive. It grew big, and I has been about to pull it more times, but it was so unlike anything. Now it's flowering, and revealing itself as weld - a dye plant dyeing a good, strong golden yellow. I've tried to grow it outside form at least three years, never with any luck. How it ended up in here, I'll never know, but I'm thankful!

Der var også ret meget gyldent i denne lille beretning, og det er jo månedens farve her i maj.

In this small report, there's quite a bit of golden, which is the Colour of the month for May.
