Today's theme from ConWorkShop is Jewellery and other accessories. How do you accessorise when all you are wearing is accessories? Just wear more of them. Encrust your belt with gold and gemstones, cover your arms with bracelets and legs with anklets, wear all your necklaces together. Get piercings all over your body. Thread beads into… Continue reading Lexember 2 (2025)

The Shape of Lexember to Come
In the twenty-first century the story of mankind upon this planet undergoes a change of phase. It broadens out. A vision of previously unsuspected possibilities opens to the human imagination. And that vision brings with it an immense readjustment of ideas. The idea that you could, each and every day for one month in the… Continue reading The Shape of Lexember to Come
Lexember 2024: Summary
Lexember is over for another year and it's time to look back on the trials and tribulations of the month. As always, thanks are due ConWorkShop for their daily themes, which are a boon for any glossopoietically inclined gentlebeing. In total I created 152 words for Rireinutire in connection with the CWS Lexember themes, at least… Continue reading Lexember 2024: Summary

Where are the snows of yesteryear? In many ski resorts in Finland, they are carefully covered and saved for the next winter, in order to get a head start on the next ski season. As a poignant choice for the last day of Lexember, ConWorkShop set today's theme as Nostalgia. The words I have chosen… Continue reading Lexember 31 (2024)

Once again, I am cast adrift upon an indifferent cosmos by ConWorkShop, as today's theme is No theme. What to do? Obviously, I could seek solace in meaningless platitudes. Or I could rage, rage against the dying of the light. Hmm... Nah, that sounds too much like effort. And I might even break a sweat.… Continue reading Lexember 30 (2024)

You don't have to be a snapper-up of unconsidered trifles to snap up today's ConWorkShop theme which is Things that can be collected. Collecting is a fine hobby, and I have already collected into Rireinutire several words that would be a perfect match for today's theme. And therefore I thought to approach the theme from… Continue reading Lexember 29 (2024)

The angry rat-tat-tat of noisy jackhammers would distract anybody from attending to today's theme from ConWorkShop, which is Noisy things. However, I did manage to get in some worldbuilding in discussing the categories that singing voices are classified into in Rireinu classical music. In that connection I also discovered I didn't have a word for… Continue reading Lexember 28 (2024)

It seems I got myself tangled in my own web. When ConWorkShop declared that today's theme is Mysteries, lies, secrets, and conspiracies, I had the cunning plan to quote the famous lines from Marmite by Sir Walter Scott, as is shewn below. But little did I know (or remember) that I had neglected to coin… Continue reading Lexember 27 (2024)

Arms I sing, and the woman, who, impelled by ConWorkShop's unrelenting Lexember, took up today's theme of War and weaponry. Me, I am a lover not a fighter, (which allegation several of my commanding officers could endorse) so I had a hard time coming up with interesting and appropriate new vocabulary. But as you can… Continue reading Lexember 26 (2024)
