‘What’s for dinner?’

‘Tacos’

‘We had that last night & the night before.’

‘But we got them from different places, so it’s not like having the same thing.’

‘Are we trying a new place tonight?’

‘Yes. I need to #measure the taco quality.’

‘How?’

‘Using a tacometer, of course.’

Good morning.
#November11th is the day we remember with gratitude the immeasurable numbers of people who died fighting fascism. We vowed it would never happen again - but here it is. I pray it doesn't prevail.
Today's word is #measure

‘This looks like a fun bar. I’m meeting up with friends from my book club.’

‘Cool. I can try out my book jokes.’

‘You’re a comedian & a bartender?’

‘Exactly. Do you know what you get when you mix alcohol with #literature?’

‘What?’

‘Tequila Mockingbird.’

‘A book exploring the theoretical concepts of repulsive forces and how electromagnetism counteracts the basic #law of gravity.’

Good morning. My choice of words was beginning to resemble a list of my O-level subjects, but I never studied this!
Today's word is #law. Make of it what you will. Happy Sunday!

The English #language has some strange words.’

‘Tell me about it.’

‘Take the word - Queue - for instance.’

‘What’s so strange about that.’

‘It’s a word, but like, it’s really just the letter Q, with a bunch of other letters following behind it.’

‘How was school today?’

‘Well, Mom, it was an epic day. I did something that will make me go down in #history.’

‘Like a legacy? That sounds exciting. Tell me more.’

‘Actually, I failed my mid-term exam. My grade will do down from a C to a D.’

Good morning! Today's word is #history. Which I wish I'd studied better at school, because I'd enjoy historical novels more. My first husband knew the dates of all the Kings of England, which was useful.
I look forward to reading your mini historical works.

‘You’re a teacher? What grade?’

‘I teach high school #geography.’

‘I never understood the concept of learning something that may be useful in trivia contests someday. Why is that even taught in schools?’

‘Because #geography is where it’s at.’

‘Good thing you’re not an English teacher.’

Good morning! The next word from my Xword book index is #geography - not one of my better subjects from school, though I enjoyed drawing maps.
I still prefer real maps - if I don't know where I am now, how can GPS tell me where to go next?

‘You’re an author?’

‘Guilty as charged.’

‘So, have you written anything I would know?’

‘Not to humble brag or anything, but I’m on my way to becoming #famous.’

‘’Really?’

‘My books have been downloaded on Amazon by nearly 7 people.’

‘Nearly 7?’

‘One person demanded a refund.’

Morning all!
When I flew from my then home in Tenerife to meet an agent, my kids hoped I'd become rich and famous. Unfortunately he turned out to be a scammer, which is partly why I have self-published my books. At least I can trust me!

Today's word is #famous. Have fun!

‘Why won’t you go out with me?’

‘Umm. Let’s just say we’re probably not compatible because we’ve had different levels of #education.’

‘What? You think I’m not smart? Ask me anything. Go ahead.’

‘What’s the capital of Arizona?’

‘Duh, that one’s easy. It’s A.’

When I went to infant school, we had free milk at playtime & after-lunch naps on tiny camp beds. How things have changed for my grandchildren! Now even 5 year-olds use computers.

‘How’s therapy working out to fix your food obsession?’

‘He told me to focus on taking care of a little #creature. That taking care of something else could translate to taking care of myself.’

Good morning! Today's word from the subject list in my 60 y/o crossword solver's guide is #creature - which could be anything from an amoeba to a whale. Or a person under the control of another. Happy writing!

‘Hey! New girl, stop talking & get back to work.’

‘I think when co-workers get to know each other, it makes the shift go by faster. So tell me, do you have any hobbies?’

‘Yeah. I do nunya.’

‘Nunya? I’ve never heard of that. What is it?’

‘Nunya #business.’

Good morning all!
Huge thanks to the excellent @bofferson.bsky.social for his hard work. Now you're in my (in)capable hands!
I love doing cryptic Xwords & I often use this 60yo book for reference. Prompts for the next 15 days will be some of its subject headings.
Today's word is #business.
