Unconscious Mutterings : Week 342

Summer Sundays! I’m not sure there’s anything better. The weather here has been delicious – warm, but not too warm with cool nights. Of course, almost every conversation turns to ‘Will we have an early winter?’  Until the snow actually drops, the bees hybernate and the garden declines, I’m going to enjoy the warm as much as I can.

Of course, I’ll start my Sunday with a little unconscious maintenance. What is that? Unconscious Mutterings of course. These little word prompts (created by the lovely Pea at LunaNina) have magical powers.

Of course, if you decide to play by leaving your answers in the comments, you will experience the magical chance of winning fabulous prizes. Fabulous prizes, you say! Like what? A signed copy of the Fey, a signed copy of Denver Cereal, or a box of Thin Mints.  (NanKnits from Quotidian Musings won last week.)

Play with us! Here are your word prompts:

  1. Delayed ::
  2. Irresponsible ::
  3. Stupendous ::
  4. Barcelona ::
  5. Solution ::
  6. Simplify ::
  7. Crumble ::
  8. Podcast ::
  9. Conversation ::
  10. Homepage ::

My answers :

  1. Delayed :: developmental
  2. Irresponsible :: response
