It's A Challenge
Introduction My first challenge today is to get this article published before I have to run off to York. Yesterday was slightly traumatic having to deal with disappearing parcels and potential thefts, but they are now all in hand and dealt with but on to the subject of this thing.

Religion Has Given Us Some Amazing Architecture. Content Warning.
Introduction Last weekend I visited Durham Cathedral with Fiona, Matt and Lesley and it got me thinking about how stunning many religious buildings are, and the work that has gone into them. My dad was a builder (he is still around, having also been a farmer and installing over two thousand Post Boxes throughout the north and west of England) and I worked as a labourer with him so I am constantly impressed by these structures.

Feeling The Love
Introduction After my last poem, I know I have to let friends know that I am in a good place because I have a wonderful Muse who inspires me and raises my spirits every day. I thought I would try another pantoum, but maybe that is just because I am very lazy when I write poetry.

The Love Of Words
Introduction One of the reasons that we love creating stories is our love of the simplicity and complexity of words. The music I have chosen is "Stay" by Shakespear's Sister (I know it is spelled differently to the Bard of Stratford's surname)which contains beauty and darkness in a wonderful four minutes of music, a great listen and watch, and I love the sentiment "Stay With Me".

Route 666
Introduction I don't know what popped this into my head. I was reading an old blog post about the 101ers and the band name coming from George Orwell's 1984 then I thought of Girlschool covering Gun's "Race With The Devil" and thought what road would they be on, then thought of the song "Route 66" and the road Route 66 which runs from Chicago to Los Angeles nearly two and a half thousand miles:

Dodecahedron
Introduction This is for Heather's challenge that you can read below: I had a few more ideas for this including "Temptation" and "Resolution" but they are both only ten letters and we need twelve for the word, and then "Dodecahedron". I was surprised to find two Wiki definitions for it as I just thought it was a twelve-faced 3D object.
