A lovely house
I was going through my pictures when I came across some photos of my sister's house in Brazil. It's small but perfectly formed. She designed it herself and lived in it for many happy years. Alas, she sold it and moved to Miami (all her daughters live there), where she now lives in what can only be described as a box...

Obsolete words - The true meanings
I hope you agree with me, but I think the overall winner of our silly competition is View. Everybody came up with some very funny definitions, but View was on a roll!
Congratulations to all who took part.
Kench - To laugh loudly (LOL!)
Ludibrious - Subject of mockery, butt of the joke
Jollux - A fat person
Freck - To move swiftly and nimbly
Groak - To watch silently while others eat, hoping to be invited to join in
Spermologer - A collector of trivia, gossipmonger
With squirrel - Yes, you guessed: Pregnant
[Once upon a time, there was a ludibrious woman who claimed to be with squirrel. It turned out she was with cushion...]

So cute when angry?

Obsolete words competition
You all know how much I love words... I came across some really weird old words and thought of our silly competitions, as we haven't had one for a while.
Write a witty definition for each of the following words, put them in a sentence, the usual stuff. And remember: No googling!
1) Kench
2) Ludibrious
3) Jollux
4) Freck
5) Groak
6) Spermologer
7) With squirrel
Enjoy!
