Day 30: safety
“The best car safety device is a rear-view mirror with a cop in it.”
💬 Dudley Moore
Day 29: fish
As a kid in my German class I learnt;
“Fischers Fritze fischt frische Fische, frische Fische fischt Fischers Fritze'”
Rough Translation;
“Fisher Fritz catches fresh fish. Fresh fish is what Fisher Fritz catches.”
Day 28: trend
The trend line of my daily posts on my micro blog has definitely been heading upwards as I participated in the daily post challenge that we all know as ‘MicroBlog Vember’.
Day 26: commitment
The commitment to this daily entry for November hasn’t been too onerous.
Day 25: ritual
Being English and currently based in New Zealand, the ritual of Thanksgiving is not on my calendar for this year.
But if it is for you - may I take this moment and wish you a ‘Happy Thanksgiving’.
Day 24: retain
My memory is clearly failing on the ‘retain’ front … it was only seeing @pimoore’s entry for ‘yesterday (time zones - what you going to do?) that made me realize I hadn’t done today’s!
Day 23: update
The timing of the daily challenge update has been a lot better after the time zone changes were accounted for. Thankyou.
Day 22: graze
Auckland is home to 1.6 million people (1/3 of the population of New Zealand) and provides specific help on where livestock can graze within the city boundaries.
Day 21: ice
The English in me says that two cubes of ice is sufficient to add to any drink, but my U.S.A. residency tells me that only once a glass is full of ice do you even consider adding the beverage you intend to enjoy.
Day 20: repeat
I don’t have a novel in me. A story or two for sure. But not a novel.
… and yes, that is a repeat of yesterday’s prompt.
Day 19: novel
I don’t have a novel in me. A story or two for sure. But not a novel.
Day 18: tire
Tire or Tyre? In the US it is the former, in RoW it is the latter … but we now know that the source of the word is a UK site, so maybe the ‘tire’ is more to do with ‘tired’.
I never tire of diving down these-rabbit holes 🥁
Day 17: barrel
The barrel is used in wine making, distilling and brewing with good and bad results.
Too much consumption of the resultant elixir might result in the participant ending up ‘in the barrel'.
The barrel is the circle of life.
Day 16: franchise
I wonder if someone will set up a mastodon franchise or even cooperative model.
Day 15: aluminium
I have never quite understood why the U.S. pronounces aluminium without the second ‘i’.
Day 14: leave
You might think I have stopped playing MicroBlog Vember because leave is the day 14 prompt and in New Zealand we are already on day 15, but no prompt 🙁
Day 13: adjust
‘Do Not Adjust Your Set’ was short lived as a UK TV program but definitely punched above it’s weight if you measure impact on a British comedy.
Day 12: suspicion
Just for a short while I had this suspicion that @jean had forgotten to generate today’s prompt because it came later in the day than I have been used to.
Day 11: display
The display on the TV is definitely in need of an upgrade. I think I’m spoiled by the quality of the display on my computer. Or is it just aging eyes?
