@JillCucchi Normal 😉

@re_scrawl ... or maybe Canada 🤔

@re_scrawl Nice! Norway? Sweden? Definitely Scandi...

This is where I'm writing about this morning.

Feeling sluggish? Memory a bit hazy? You’re not alone... but the good news is that for most of us, brain fog will be a temporary state & will clear as we begin to live more varied lives. theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

Love a good business name #pun! And they get bonus points for correct use of the apostrophe 👍🏻

Now you too can have your Mondrian & eat it 😀 If you like #cake & #art, check out this fabulous Flickr a/c which combines the best of both worlds! (h/t @charliebudd) @N02/sets/72157624277977793/with/4753047179/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">flickr.com/photos/5165363…

@StuuuCopywriter We always called it a Backie 😀

What's it called when you ride on the back of someone else's bicycle? It's for a thing.

One for all my fellow linguists & word nerds theguardian.com/world/2021/feb… #language #words

@emmapocm Don’t suppose you remember much about the 80s 🤪

@EWC_wordsmith What an amazing series

Just watched the last two eps of #ItsASin. Might have had something in my eye 😢 #80smusic #80sgirl

@Word_Service That’s like offering cacao/sugar-free chocolate 🤷‍♀️

@TreeHouseBkshop Excellent news! Is yours at The Warwickshire? Still not easy to get to without a car but a lot closer than Studley - which is ours - so 1/2 hour’s drive even with own transport. Mustn’t grumble though 😀

@bossproofreader The colour is a perfect match for my dressing gown 😍

Spotted a clump of drooping-headed hellebores. Shoved the camera underneath. Sooooooo pretty.

@espirian Interesting question, but definitely a decrease. Conscious decision to spend far less time on SM this past year! So these posts have been ones people have found randomly via search, not because I’ve promoted them 😀

@EWC_wordsmith That is interesting, thanks, Geraldine. Does that correlate with an increase or decrease in your own social media activity?

Is it time to bin the ability to comment directly on blog posts? I use Disqus but almost none of my readers leave comments. I get plenty of comments on my LinkedIn posts, though, and that's probably good enough. What do you think, bloggers?

Interesting glimpse into how live #theatre may return... qz.com/1960980/lesson…

HYEMATION means the passing of winter in a particular place, or a wintering. It derives from Latin hiemāre "to winter" & ultimately hiems, "winter". In case you were wondering, its antonym is ESTIVATION. Let’s hope we don’t have to spend this summer at home too… #WordOfTheDay

In need of some creative inspiration? You may well find some interesting (& slightly offbeat) ideas here… (h/t @Wordtreeandme) forbes.com/sites/jessicah… #creativityeveryday #FridayMotivation

@bossproofreader You too x

@EWC_wordsmith Thanks Geraldine – and wishing you a positive year ahead!

L1 English-language speakers, what do you call this vegetable and where did you grow up?

@Word_Service I don’t recall the reading books, but I do vividly remember making a sampler very similar to that one. As for the gym equipment, not sure my school was that posh 🤪
