Words for Wednesday

 The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems.

The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind.

If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words.

This month the words/prompts are supplied by River and can be found here

This week's words/prompts are:

1.chips  2.herd  3.clamped  4.walk  5.over  6.cheese

Charlotte's colour of the month is Ocean Twilight


My story should appear on this blog on Friday 20th

    Since I´m officially old I don´t crave chips anymore (maybe you also call them crisps?) - I am over it! I still love cheese.
    And I feel quite clamped in a herd of people (or any being) but I walk, maybe not in Twilight and the Ocean is too far away now...

    Sorry, that is all I can come up with but isn´t it funny. I LOVED chips and now. I think months ago Ingo bought a bag and it sits "somewhere" still!

      Iris; great use of the words. I don't crave chips anymore either, but I will have some if they are offered at a friends home. I love cheese too, but I think I eat too much of it.

    Aquí teniu el meu.

    El crepuscle oceànic projectava ombres allargades sobre el corriol, on un grup de joves s'aventuraven a recórrer el bosc. Rialles i patates fregides cruixien a les mans mentre caminaven. Tot i així, l'aire alegre aviat canviaria. Un xiuxiueig glaçat va emergir de la muntanya, van albirar de lluny un ramat d'ovelles que semblava guiar-los cap a una clariana. A mesura que s'acostaven a la foscor, un crit esquinçador va trencar el silenci. Tot va quedar subjectat en un instant. El formatge, fonent-se a les mans d'un d'ells, es convertí en un símbol de terror imminent. Una ombra fosca va lliscar entre els arbres i ja res no seria igual. El camí cap a la llum s'esvaí... De sobte, un silenci aclaparador els deixà immòbils, mentre uns ulls els miraven fixament. Els segons semblaren hores... Un gos d'atura negre sortí de darrere un arbre bordant-los i els pobres sortiren per cames del lloc. Tal fou l'ensurt que no en tornaren a parlar mai més.

    Thanks!

    I'm a little late. I can't seem to write faster. Also my wi-fi keeps having a tantrum so not much participating this month. Thanks for all the prompts.

    My take on the prompts:
    Fiction: Fiction: Spirit in the Typewriter.

    Have a lovely day.

Sunday Selections #754

Image
 Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections.  A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please.  Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. Brother R came to visit and brought me some old paperwork belonging to my dad, who has been dead for 25 and a half years now.  They'd been stored in a container with moth balls and were quite stinky so I pegged them out on the clothes rack in the back porch three days later, most are now inside, but the heavier items such as dad's passports are still smelly so they are still out there. I now have the original copy of his natu...

How much??

 Every few months since I've had her, Lola has been taken to the vet, just seven minutes walk away from home, for a "manicure" aka getting her talons clipped. In the beginning the cost was $19.90, gradually increasing until her last visit was $29.90 Today's visit? $35.00!! and what did I get for my trouble?  a nice big welt where she scratched me as I tried to get her out of the carrier. Disinfected as soon as I got home of course, I've no wish to get sick from cat scratch fever!.
