The word for Monday 03.05.2010 is CONTORT.

Todays word is CONTORT. This word worried me for a while. All l could think of was a dancer, a gymnast or someone from the circus! Not something l was going to see on my walk today l didn't imagine!  Today we decided to go to see a park, we had heard about but had never been. It is Wimbledon Park...great place, tennis courts, bowls green, wonderfully safe and interesting children's play areas and a huge lake with sailing on it. Amazing place, where l saw children doing amazing things on climbing frames ect but l was unable to take images of them for obvious reasons. Anyway, after a gentle walk, Tony and l headed back to the mini and as we reached the gate, l was fasinated by a tree that had some fungi growing at its base.  Being the curious person l am, l wondered if there was another group on the otherside of the trunk. No.... but then l noticed a crack running quite a way up the tree and in the crack was a fungi contoiured inside the trunk. I had my image!
