SCRABBLE. A badly written log. This term is used by the translators of the Bible at David's feigned madness, when he "scrabbled on the doors of the gate." The Sailor's Word-Book

H1 across HAERVEST-MONATH

September, in Old England, was called Haervest-monath (Harvest Month). This is the time to gather up the rest of the harvest and prepare for the winter months.
https://www.almanac.com/content/month-s ... s-folklore

(C05-L14) Hāligmōnað and (A17-L06) Hærfestmōnað

September replaced the Old English forms Hāligmōnað and Hærfestmōnað, which mean “harvest month” in modern English. If the Roman senate had gotten their way, we might now be calling September Tiberius or Antoninus, after two Roman Emperors.

Note, ae (ar alt 145) in the square for æ and no accents on other letters.

Looks like it's just you and me Randi.

Where do you want me to put it?

D05 Across SAPPHIRE Beautiful September birthstone

California (E08-E13) Native (B10-B17) (J19-J12) American Day celebrates the distinctive culture of the Native American people indigenous to California and calls attention to their triumphs and struggles that comprise their rich history.

California designated the fourth Friday of September in 1998 as California Native American Day to dismantle the misconceptions about California Indians. Previously, Students were led to believe California history began with the arrival of the first explorers and lacked a fundamental understanding of Native American’s existing society. Native populations across the country were seen as primitive and were too often associated with stereotypes like teepees and drums.

G01 down RHINO The International Rhino Foundation sets September 22 as International Rhino Day as a means of drawing attention to the 5 endangered species of Rhinoceros.

(F08-F11) Inca (F08-F06) Ice (K12-K17) Maiden Discovered
On 9 September 1995, the mummy of a young girl, sacrificed to a mountain god 500 years ago, was discovered on top of Mount Ampato in Peru. The body was found along with other objects that were meant as offerings to the gods.

National (L18-L07) Grandparents Day - September 11th

Well done Randi., you took out 2 of my words, hence the quick reply before I lose Grandparents as well.
Which I just have.

I must look out for those special charactors that are in the words I posted.

Lets try again to get it right.

On 19 September 1893, Governor (F04-I04) Lord (I16-I10) Glasgow signed a new Electoral Act into law, and New Zealand became the first self-governing country in the world to enshrine in law the right for women to vote in parliamentary elections.

I hate to tell you this, given such an excellent subject, but I10-I12 have been used

Sorry, I moved "Glasgow" when my previous place for it was overwritten by a new word.

Please try G09-G03, it should now tie in with Lord

E13 Across EQUINOX Fall here, Spring for Stuart.
BTW Stuart, You look so many words- moves- ahead, do you play chess?
Have a good day.

Hi Morgan.
All I know about chess is where the pieces can move. I have not got the ability to plan the stratagy needed to win.
With scrabble I look up words to fill in my Excel spreedsheet grid and take them down as others take the spaces. Like Equinox took the "talk like" out of my Talk like a Pirate" entry (Don't worry I found some new places for it next go {I hope}).
Sometimes I forget to change the new grid location if I move them. Randi has to keep me in line.

Next entry is:

Did you know that on this day, September 6, 1522, (J03-J11) Ferdinand (B02-I02) Magellan's (O12-L15) ship (M13-M20) "Victoria" completed the first circumnavigation of Earth?

And Stuart occasionally has to keep me in line

N02 going up AUTUMN Doesn't feel like it here. But in a couple weeks.....????

Now I can fit in the re-jigged

International (C01-C04) Talk (D18-D16) Like (any a) a (G15-G10) Pirate Day is a parodic holiday created in 1995 by John Baur and Mark Summers of Albany, Oregon, who proclaimed September 19 each year as the day when everyone in the world should talk like a pirate (that is, in English with a stereotypical West Country accent).
