I have been having a lot of problems trying to add images to a post. As in the three spinners— after trying the block editor that prints huge photos even though I have said thumbnail size, to the classic editor that still lets me size how I want in the preview, but the post results are not the same as the preview. It’s frustrating! With my new iPhone I find it completely difficult to post anything. Am I alone here? And the too small text? 🤯
The Three Spinners
Curious in Viking history since ancestry states I am descended from them, I have been looking into the three spinners in Norse history. Here is some of what I found.

The Sunday Whirl
Easy looking through a rosy glass to see a world so civil
Still call out and bend ignoring the bitter pill
Follow their footsteps to sample the hateful blend
And mask the truth, writing to save the lies.

My current favorite Netflix series is rewatching “The Last Kingdom” and looking forward to season five. My favorite character Finan– the actor is shown here being locked out of his trailer😄. The main character, Uhtred, is a fictional character in an account of King Alfred’s rule based on the book series “The Saxon Stories” written by Bernard Cornwell.

The Sunday Whirl
Sparks rising to the sky from the ring of coal heats in the fire pit act like magic to rekindle spontaneous utterances–memories of previous legendary nights like this. We dress in soft flannel blankets bringing far forgotten thoughts into the present. Even in future, these gatherings will continue, renewing our faith in each other as a family.

MLMM Wordle #251 – Forensics 101
The professor peeled the nightshade over the glass, darkening the classroom. He did not want to petrify his students, but thought to bridge their bodies from lack of interest to a state of uneasiness. Until now, they did not take this class seriously, but after tonight, he was sure their attitude would improve. The rumor around the campus was that Professor Jones’ class was an easy A and he was determined to dispel that idea.
“A little death never hurt anyone, except for the victim” he began, brandishing a sleek metal weapon in the air. He quickly had the complete attention of everyone in the room. Starting to nervously wiggle in their desks, eyes quickly scanning from each other and back to the professor, one female grabbed her neck as if she was choking. Apparently the sudden sight of the knife caused her to swallow her chewing gum and it stuck in her throat. The professor quickly aided her with the heimlich maneuver to suction the wad of gum out of her throat.
The class was verklempt at the entire scene and Professor Jones stepped to the window opening the shades. The room flooded with moonlight and cast an eerie glow on his face. His idea was a success–no one thought his class was easy after that night, even though he was put on indefinite leave the next day.
