I'll drink to that! Today's theme from ConWorkShop is wine, beer and spirits. The favourite tipple of Rireinukave is kiyu, a beverage brewed from rai, the staple grain of Rireinu that is not entirely unlike rice. So kiyu is somewhat like rice wine. Kiyu is also distilled to make ponu, a highly potent spirit. Another beverage… Continue reading Lexember 28 (2023)

Now here's a real wake-up call. Today's ConWorkShop theme is verbs and nouns that can wake you up. A 'kick up the arse' is usually employed to wake up somebody who is asleep on her feet, but it would definitely fall within the parametres of the prompt. 'Cold feet' can wake you up when placed… Continue reading Lexember 27 (2023)

Come walk with me, let us reason together. Today's theme from ConWorkShop is wondering and wandering. The Rireinukave are very keen on physical activity, so it stands to reason they would enjoy long walks in the forest with heavy packs. And indeed trekking holidays are quite popular. But for some reason, I didn't have proper… Continue reading Lexember 26 (2023)

Today I'm going straight to the point. The ConWorkShop theme for the day is pointy objects. No time for further spit and polish, I'm afraid.

Outta sight, man! After contemplating their Visualization of the Cosmic All, the eagle-eyed visionaries of ConWorkShop have seen it wise to reveal that today's theme is eyes, optics, and sight. What marvels might we see? At least an ophthalmology hospital ought to be architecturally pleasing, as it is literally a site for sore eyes. And… Continue reading Lexember 24 (2023)

Rome wasn't built in a day. Rather, it took centuries. You could say that infrastructure was the Roman occupation par excellence. Therefore I think it was entirely appropriate to invoke the ancient Romans when today's theme from ConWorkShop is infrastructure. And what are the most famous infrastructure works of the ancient Romans? Roads and aqueducts.… Continue reading Lexember 23 (2023)

Oh yes, forgot to mention yesterday that in my native language, 'forbidden' begins with /k/. I'm only mentioning this today because today's ConWorkShop theme is words that begin with /k/ in your native language. So today's sentence has seven such words, in italics in the Human original. In case you are interested, the words are:… Continue reading Lexember 22 (2023)

Do you have the requisite clearance for this information? Before proceeding any further, please apply at ConWorkShop to have your clearance upgraded. Today's theme is censorship, taboos and forbidden things. So, time to think the unthinkable, speak the unspeakable, touch the untouchable, meddle in all the things Rireinukave was not meant to know. But first,… Continue reading Lexember 21 (2023)

As tradition dictates, every tenth day at ConWorkShop, the theme of the day is No theme!. And as I promised ten days ago, I would be doing nihilism. I chose not to dress all in black, or to put on gothy makeup or anything, but I did coin the word for 'nihilism'. It's a straightforward… Continue reading Lexember 20 (2023)

Here's some food for thought. Today's theme from ConWorkShop is vegetables and berries. Time to root around in the fertile soil of your imagination, hoping that your diligent effort will bear fruit in good time. Or if that's too much work, you can just vegetate. Whichever way you choose, water and sunlight in appropriate measure… Continue reading Lexember 19 (2023)
