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 ME and can be found here

This week's words/prompts are:

1.pudding  2.letters  3.calculations  4.laundry  5.candlesticks  6.system

My own story will hopefully appear on this blog on Friday 25th

    I am Yorkshire Pudding and I have got a string of letters after my name. However, I was never much good at mathematical calculations nor at operating washing machines in my grandmother's laundry. There were two brass candlesticks in the front window and Granny ran that business like a military system. That may be why I never really fitted in.

    Yorkshire Pudding's version with the string of letters after his name but no talent for calculations or the laundry system is a fun, self-deprecating take on the words. And thanks for your comment about the flickering widget too — that technical issue is now fixed on my end!

    At the hospital we never got pudding, but refreshing yogurt or jelly dessert.
    Despite I´m not into sweets much their calculations were right - I happily gobbled away.
    But with all candlesticks in the world I failed to read the doctor´d letters - I had to wait for the typed version.
    Now I wonder if that system works or if the secretary only assumed what the doctor wrote!
    Home, second thing: laundry. The same old same...

    Looking forward to yours!

      Iris; I like puddings, yoghurts and jellies and though you don't have a sweet tooth I am glad you enjoyed yours, sometimes a sugary "hit" is just what we need.

      Yes, refreshing it was. I now added Greek yoghurt to my diet!

      We have all been in that place. I begged for cheesecake, but there was none.

    It sounds like words Dickens would use.

Sunday Selections # 790

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. In memory of Elephant's Child, the meme is now continued by myself and 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. Starting this week with a "wish" who remembers cupping one of these in the palm of your hand, making a wish and then blowing it away? If it flew up and away your wish was supposed to come true. I dug around in the pot where I had planted pieces of a sprouting potato and came up with these tiny morsels, the coffee mug is for size reference. Did I already show this recently?  I bought a couple of "Heirloom" tomatoes fo...

  Welcome to 2026! I hope this is a good year for everyone, hopefully even better than last year. Try not to fall over folks, it's not fun.  🌞🎈🎉 Coming to you from sunny Australia, that big lump of land under the equator.  Sunday Selections will be continuing, hosted by me , participation is optional, if you can't manage every week for any reason, that's okay. Words for Wednesday will also be continuing, hosted by me , and again, participation is optional, play when you can, take a break when you need to.  Charlotte will be providing a colour for each month as she did last year, we try to use the colour somewhere in our posts, either photographing something with that colour or using it in another way. This month's colour is Carmine: Isn't that just gorgeous? And why is my text in two different sizes?
