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

Greetings! I didn't want to wake up this morning,but here I am with today's word - #literature. According to Collins that is any writing of artistic merit,which isn't much help when deciding on the genre of my books.Are they literary or pulp fiction?
I may go back to bed now.

Today's word is #law. Make of it what you will. Happy Sunday!

Here we go again! The start of my second week as host - hundreds of works of genius read, more screen hours than is healthy, many new friends.
Today's word from my Xword book index is #language.

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.

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?

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!

Morning all!
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.
Today's word from my xword book index is #education.

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.
