This week’s winner was a little easier than some to
select because I kept returning to David’s
‘decanted tarry strings of tobacco’ – poetry become practical – thank you.
Thank you to the rest of you for your pieces and also
for your comments – a vital part of this site.
A treat for you for the next two weeks: I shall be out
of the country and have no idea how reliable the combination of travelling and access to the internet will be therefore I have handed the task of
choosing the week’s winner(s) to the admirably capable Patricia.
I’ve scheduled words to appear at midday GMT so as to give
her the chance of announcing her choice before too many of you get going with
the new words which, for next week will be:
lodge scintilla third
