LETTERS
Yesterday I sat watching a little boy learning about the Alphabet….
A is for Apple, B is for Balloon etc.
I came home with the sounds ringing in my head and while preparing dinner, I turned the idea into a little game. Pick not one word for each letter, but three that sit well together.

** This is the only letter I struggled with. A Xylophone is an instrument that always appealed to my ear; the problem was to find other words to go with it. Somehow X-ray didn’t sound right.
It is over to you now, I would love to see your choice!

Nick - You behave while Jenny is away!
Rhyleysgranny - They sure do!
Ursula - I think this simple soul needs a translation.
Magpie 11 - You need a third word!
George - Glad you liked them.
Maynard - The last one DOES NOT work… Try again!

Judy - My choice of ‘F’ words were done while thinking of you.

Sorry, Grannymar. How rude of me. Give me directions in Chinese and I’ll end up in Timbaktu.
A xanthochroic is a fair haired person pale of skin; a xenophile (as opposed to the xenophobe) is one who enjoys and actively seeks out the foreigner, ie those of a different culture. As to the Xerox - that’s taking a photocopy of the charming blond, pale and made to feel welcome stranger.

Wonderfully clever and creative! I’m, at the moment, being haunted by the fact that I should NOT be on the computer, I SHOULD be working out FIRST, so I’m plagued with guilt, watching the time click on, feeling the pressure to add something totally creative and all I can come up with is:

Grannymar, I bet you can put yourself to sleep at night, by thinking of the alphabet backwards.

No, BHB, Grannymar has sheep that count the comments on her blog backwards FOR her, and then they put them in alphabetical and chronological order. THEN, she goes to sleep…..
