How’s your week been? I’ve had an industrious week writing-wise. As well as continuing with the editing of my second children’s book, I’ve started work on two other short pieces.
One is for TenX9 Nottingham, where nine true-life pieces of no more than ten minutes are read. The theme for the next one is waiting.
My second piece is for Let’s Write, an online writing group I attend. This month we had a choice of three prompts. I spent some time deciding which prompt to use and made a start on my piece.
I’m feeling satisfied.

Whether you love or hate sport, you’d be hard pressed not to have noticed that both Wimbledon and the football World Cup are currently playing. With that in mind, I have two words this week.
In tennis, the word love relates not to romantic love but a score of zero – she was 15-love down. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the origin comes from play for love, that is for the love of the game. Folk etymology also links the word with the French, l’oeuf, referring to a similarity in shape to an egg and a zero.
Moving on to football, I do enjoy seeing all the strips from different countries playing in The World Cup. This made me wonder why it’s called a strip, meaning the identifying kit worn by members of a sports team. The Oxford English Dictionary says this possibly comes from the idea of the clothes that players strip down to.
Did you know that, in my children’s book, The Clocker, the main character makes up his own words? My Books
I’ve felt a bit discombobulated this week, maybe returning home after a relaxing holiday or, perhaps, just one of those odd weeks.
I’ve been trying to sort out, since Wordy Wednesday, why my image playground has disappeared. Had lots of helpful suggestions but nothing has worked.
As for Flaunt it Friday, I’ve made it through. Sometimes that’s it and, after all, a nice pot of tea always helps!
