The warmth of the sun in winter.
Hereâs an amusing skit on such rare words, from Mirriam-WebsterIâm addicted to suitcases. But Iâm determined to pack them up.
No clues and pleeeeze donât just Google. Think about it and put a guesstimate in the comments.
By average is meant the median; half the people below, half above.
Seen in the Scilly Islands.
I used to hear owls a lot round here but in the last few years less. So I was pleased in this last few days to hear several tawny owls on the way back from the pub (me not them).
Hereâs a good write-up with a sound recording

On a radio program in 1948 the philospher Bertrand Russell gave several humerous examples of "emotive conjugation", such as
I am firm, you are obstinate, he is a pig-headed fool.
I have reconsidered the matter, you have changed your mind, he has gone back on his word.
You get the idea: it's like comjugating a verb but the speaker casts themself in a favourable light, you in a slightly less favourable one, and the others in an unfavourable light.
I offer you one for the current "situation" (as the PM describes ).
I am filling up earlier than usual, you have changed your pattern of demand, they are panic buying.
They said I knew diddly squat. I was like âNo, never met the blokeâ.
I can probably reprise this, after half a decade.

A. With their logging credentials!
I love archeology, I really dig it.
Retired plorer.
Each week I buy the ingredients for a meal that I cook and share with a friend, although Iâm not very agile nowadays so they have to assist quite a bit.Â
Anyway. Today I tried pork escalopes with grilled vegetables. No carbs cos friend is on a Keto diet, which is not far off what would be recommended for people on type 2 diabetes, so I think itâs ok health wise and does seem to work. Iâve snuck in carbs myself but still lost a bit by association.
Next up will be a marinara chicken breast recipe, with different grilled vegetables, mushrooms, sweet potato this time and maybe peppers.
Whatâs with marinara? Itâs the sauce mariners cook up, think of carbonara cooked up by charcoal burners.
Iâll report next week on a) recipe and method b) success in scale 1-5

A grimoire is a book of magic spells, from French, from Latin, and I think related to Ancient Greek grammata = letters.Â
Those who can read and write may cast spells. They may be glamorous, glammar being a Scots variant. And so we see those who can read, write, spell, may bewitch and fascinate. Letters are dangerous.
I bought a wig for five thousand pounds. Thatâs a lot toupee.
A German one today.
verschlimmbesserung
This beautiful word means an attempt at making things better that ends up making them worse.
Pointing no fingers, you can probably think of many examples.
What did the talking dog say when it climbed on the house?
Roof!
Weâve been deliberating what we should put in the hanging baskets to flower through the winter. Winter pansies are a hot favourite but what other plants should we look at; any other ideas welcome.
My doctor tested me and said my Vitamin D was low. âGet out in the sun moreâ, she advised, âAnd wear shorts, get some sun on those legs!â
I did what she said, and when I went back, after just a few weeks, my Vitamin D was way up. My doctor was so pleased she awarded me some brown knee points.
Tending my tomatoesÂ
My head brushed a spiderwebÂ
Little damage done, and the spider ran off safely.
Still I apologised.
