Since April showers bring May flowers, we have to write a challenge based on the Pilgrims.  Or maybe about the moving company.  Or maybe about the moving company moving the Pilgrims.  But whatever it is, I hope it's another quickie.

It should be Star Wars themed. Then we can say May the 4th be with you,  Revenge of the 5th and a new one for Mandalorian fans, this is the May.

After about 15 times of promising to write something and not doing it, I'm in this time... maybe.

I always try and then abandon because it's rubbish.

Ha! I'll try, but will be involved on reviewing either way.

Just putting some feelers out about who might be interested in commencing this challenge a little earlier than the 10th.  Or do you all prefer to wait until the weekend is over?

It will hold some surprises btw.

Give it to us early! :)

Thank you, Zack!
That's one affirmative.

I have a feeling you're going to love this btw.

It looks like my Mother's Day gift to my wife will be to stay out of her hair all day! Bring it!

I say that now, but I may end up losing a day of writing instead.

Regardless...let 'er rip!

Well, I'm glad you're all raring to go.

However, I was reminded of a little thing called Mother's Day, so we'll have to cool our jets for a couple of days.
Whoops, sorry. Still, won't be long.

Hope my brain cells decide to make a rare appearance for this one.

are we going by Australian rules again on this one?  So can we expect to see the Challenge announced tomorrow evening?  Or maybe on Tuesday?  I can never figure out what time or day it is down under.

Me too, Marnie! That you do, I mean.
As I hope all the girls and any Newb girls will give the guys a good run for their money this time around.

I'm working on the timeline after breakfast (it's 9:08 am here) and then will run it by Don.
Oz is 14 hours ahead of Washington DC, so Sunday morning here, Gazza.

Does everyone see the Countdown clock to announcement?

Aussie time, so UK/European participants, (if you're night-owls) might hopefully even catch it before you turn in. :)

Oh, boy. Mine says 3:05. Something is definitely messed up.

(Do I need the smiley/winky face?)

3:02 here.

Don! I think the thingy is broken!
Posted by: LC, May 9th, 2021, 4:55pm; Reply: 31
Okay, no idea what's going on about the 'Thingy' being broken, (cause I just got up) ...except there's just about an hour to go before announcement of the challenge. Yay!  ;D

Not much longer! ;D

Well it's bed time for me, so as per usual you all get a few hours head start just to give you a chance!
Posted by: LC, May 9th, 2021, 5:34pm; Reply: 34
You might want to hang in there a few minutes longer, Mark.
Announcement in a few minutes - early, cause I have to do other stuff. :)
