3TC: your temporary host

Posted on November 1, 2026 by pensitivity101

Further to my earlier post here

Our blogging colleague Aptivi has kindly offered to take over as host for the Three Things Challenge.
I am so pleased it will continue and hope you will give her the same support you gave me.

Her site is https://aptivisjoyfulcorner.wordpress.com/
so sign up to follow her so as not to miss anything!

Sadly when my computer crashed, I lost all my files, including my 3TC word list and analysis!
There is no way I can recover almost an entire year’s data so there will be no word analysis as in previous years. 

No matter. Continue to have fun with the 3TC and thanks again to Aptivi for taking it on.

Welcome to the daily Three Things Challenge.
Use your imagination and creativity using one, two or all three words that may or may not be related. There are no restrictions regarding length, style, or genre, though please keep it family friendly.

Tag your responses with 3TC, #threethingschallenge or TTC, and you can add my logo if you wish.

Pingbacks don’t always work so leave your link in the comments so that I can respond to you directly and other bloggers can read your writings. Why not check out some of theirs while you’re there!
The challenge goes out around 6.00 am UK time, but pingbacks may not show immediately as they have to be approved manually and sometimes I’m late accessing my blog. I will get there, I promise!
Looking forward to reading your responses.

Your three words today are:
STOUT
STRONG
SWEET

3TC Hiatus

Posted on October 31, 2026 by pensitivity101

Hello everyone!

Just to let you know the 3TC will be on hiatus for a while as Maya’s pups are due around Nov 1st, so we shall be busy.

I’ve scheduled them up to MM600 which will go live on November 6th.
If anyone would like to take it on temporarily, that would be lovely as it’s a popular challenge.
If not, as Arnie said ‘I’ll be back’ .

Project Puppy: prepared as we’ll ever be

Posted on October 31, 2026 by pensitivity101

We are as ready as we can be and it is all up to Maya now.

We are keeping a watchful eye for the first stage of labour, and think delivery will be sooner rather than later.
Maya has been doing her Goldilocks impression today in trying out the beds………. she has dozed on her normal bed, then moved and dozed in the whelping box and finally dozed on her secondary bed. She seems content on each so she has choice for her comfort when then time comes.

Haiku Fridays with J-Dub #27

Posted on October 30, 2026 by pensitivity101

Jill Witherspoon is our host and you can join in HERE

Jill says of this pictre:
No idea when I took this picture, but our floor was relatively new. They were a favorite of mine. Inside there was a floral pattern, roses — which are a theme in my life — both lived and inherited. I cry for that little me. But I’m also very happy.

Shiny shoes smile back
Reflections reassuring,
Memories beckon.
