Good morning. Today's word is #science.
Which is a category in my Xword book & a subject I touched on at O.level with Biology, Human Biology, and Cookery/Domestic Science.
This is my penultimate day as host, of early rising & much screen time. I will miss it, ambivalently.

#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.

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.

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?

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!
