Words of the day


Skittle – to knock down
Drizzle – very light rain
Jovial – jolly
Prescience – foresight

Writing from words of the day

The writers had the prescience to gather the words of day and created the following blather - Leonie – a cold grey day, Helene – Stable government, Wendy – In the park, Juan – My right foot wants eyes and Pauline – The gift.
