It appears that spring has finally sprung in my neck of the woods. All week we are supposed to be above 20 (68F) and by Thursday up to 27 (80.6 F) I will need to be bringing out the SPF 2200 for that day 😊 Sure enough, I head back to the office grind on Monday, but I really can't complain about the temperatures as I was not going to let the weather dictate my vacation so I wore shorts and sandals every day 😎I do however hope that everyone that are experiencing adverse weather in their area are staying safe and it is only for the short term.

Looks like the month of April did turn out to be a month of poetry. We had 3 weeks of Poetry Anthology entries and then a big thank you and all the stories wrapped up in a nice neat bundle on Thursday this week. Please take the opportunity on the Thursday blog if you haven't had the chance yet to go, to thank all our authors (on stage) participating but also the great hard work that the background (backstage) people all did. It was a great production!! It has been a long time since I've seen such a well participated in Poetry Anthology. Thank you all :worship: Take a bow.

Now I'm curious, we have had a lot come at you in the past week. CSR Discussion Day, Poetry Anthology wrap up, lots of new chapters came at you too!! So what did you take up or continuing on reading here at the site?

Being the last Monday of the month, Cia was able to interview @vanalas in the CSR Discussion Day:

Thursday as mentioned, Val did a nice little wrap up for the Poetry Anthology. Please stop by and leave a comment!!

After a bit of a break, Comicality was back with another Writing Article. Ironically the man who gives us some of the most detail and informative articles wrote his shortest article I believe, on not being wordy :gikkle:

The omniscient one brought you all the Words of the Day this week!
