For this week’s adventure in extraordinary etymology, the alternative dictionary redefines an extremity;
“Portmanteau” – The male left lower pinky digit.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.
Good morning/afternoon/evening, wherever you may be and welcome to the regular Monday post of The Cosmic Photo Challenge.
On Friday I asked you to use your creative talents to illustrate the theme of a wet weekend, since that was clearly what we were in for in our neck of the woods.
But alas, having wasted the chances of a horrible Saturday, hiding inside from the rain and finally accepting I’d have to get out in the inclement weather yesterday instead, Sunday was dry!
I decided I’d have to settle for water flowing horizontally, rather than falling vertically, so I took a quick drive from Instow back to Barnstaple, via Fremington Quay and captured some shots along the very windy Torridge and Taw rivers.
How did your weekend pan out?
Come on, don’t be shy, let’s all have a look…

Cosmic Photo prompt.
For this week’s theme on The Cosmic Photo Challenge, I’ve resigned myself to asking for images of; A wet weekend.
Yes, rather predictably the weather has decided to be uncooperative for this short break from the working week (or possibly slightly longer if you’re in America – Happy Independence Day to y’all, by the way) so we’ll go with what we’ve got and hope for the best.
See you on Monday for a show and tell of elemental proportions. Until then, stay safe and keep on keeping on.

One liner Wednesday: Alternative dictionary.
Today’s word getting the redefinition treatment from the alternative dictionary is either narrative or sartorial in nature;
“Mañana” – A male storyteller/knitting expert.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.
I admit it, I kind of cheated for The Cosmic Photo Challenge this week, because I already knew the photos I was going to use for the theme; Forces of nature.
There was an electrical storm the other night and I managed to capture my first ever lightning shots (which I expect some of you have seen on Facebook) and I couldn’t resist using them today.
Now let’s see what you bright sparks have for us…

Cosmic Photo prompt.
For this week’s creative adventure on The Cosmic Photo Challenge, I’d like you to indulge me, as I have an ulterior motive for today’s prompt; Forces of nature.
You’ll have to wait and see what I have in mind, but that’s fair, since I always have to wait and see what y’all bring to the party.
So give us all something naturally powerful to gaze upon at the start of the week and make our Monday less, well, Monday.
“So, how do I do that?”, you ask.
Just follow these simple steps and dive right in…

One liner Wednesday: Alternative dictionary.
Today’s one liner entry in the alternative dictionary is a badly spelled geological term;
“Pomegranate” – What an Australian calls English stone.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.
For your weekend homework on this week’s edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, I asked you (as it turns out, not very inclusively) to capture; Midsummer.
It was pointed out (thanks, eklastic) that I should have added Midwinter, to include my visitors from below the equator, so apologies for that unintentional omission.
I took a drive yesterday afternoon, while the sun battled for space between the clouds; visiting Eastleigh village with its neatly kept churchyard and picturesque cottages, capturing some panoramas of the Torridge valley and the quiet country lanes.
ow it’s your turn to show us your visions of solstice.
It’s easy to do, just follow these simple steps…

Turn on, tune in, freak out.
I thought it was time to update my audio visual showcase, so I have added a plethora of YouTube videos to my Sound and Vision page, compiling all the best mixes and sonic experiments from the last few years.
I have also added a link to the folder containing these and dozens of other mp3 files, should you wish to download any of my peculiar ouevre, completely free of charge.

Enjoy the vibes.

Another heartfelt post from The Dough Abides, my friend Kris’ blog.
Exactly one year ago, I was preparing to go to court, seeking justice after months of being relentlessly stalked, harassed, threatened, and defamed publicly on social media. I am happy to report that justice was served. Not just once, but twice.
Yet, the triumph over my oppressor wasn’t sweet. I came out of that experience feeling eviscerated and deflated, the wind knocked out of my sails. Pfffffffft. Had my life been a movie, those next few months would best be entitled, “Out of the Frying Pan, Into the Dumpster Fire.” I’d exited the darkest chapter in my life only to enter a new one, this time confronting a far more formidable oppressor: my own insecurities, self doubt, and codependency. Suffice it to say, 2019 was Dante’s Inferno on a loop. And 2020 hasn’t been much better.
Until now.
In the last few weeks, amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and worldwide…
