5 letter game

Hello! 

one of my favourite word games is where you are given five letters and you need to make a sentence from it, making one word that starts with each letter, in that order. The sentence can be as correct or quirky as you wish, don't worry about grammar! It can be serious, silly or ludicrous.

You then leave five letters for another person. These five letters can be a five letter word or just five random letters, anything goes.

It often helps not to think about it too much or it starts to get hard!

For example:

S T A R T

somehow the amazon re-forrested tremendously

or,

G H J K L

giant hairy jovial kangaroos laugh

or,

M F H B E

microscopic follicles harmlessly brew elixirs

 

and here is one for you to try....

P A P E R

(and then leave a new set of five letters for the next person)

Enjoy! 🙂 Christina

Rakali Innovates Various Engineered River…

TRAPS

 

The rakali is the Australian native water rat. I have found shell middens next to a river most likely left by a rakali after a meal at a known rakali habitat location. Near said midden I heard the rustling of a creature in nearby long grass and wondered if it was a rakali, but am yet to actually see one. They are sort of like the Australian version of a beaver.

Wow, ER. Do rakalis build dams, too, like beavers?

No MK, from what I’ve read they don’t build dams. Early European settlers called them beaver rats but apparently they are more like otters in their behaviour. I read that they build burrows into river banks but are also known to build nests with sunken logs and reeds. So they seem to be a bit into engineering like beavers but are not dam builders. I would love to see one.

Yes, being a tropical jungle, it's perfectly understandable that the torch is rusty - but, in all that humidity, how did the iguana get it lit?
