hellisonGood morning! and how are we all this fine monday?
I am surprisingly sleepy after a weekend of doing very little. Lots of watching telly (silly dancing and dull x-factor. Except for the Spanish Lady. HELO spanish lady!) and sitting about. Tho yesterday I did make a start at cleaning the house before![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
reuss arrives this weekend. Unfortunately I started with the mountain of piled up post lying about the house, thinking that would take about an hour to sort.
In the end, it took nearly 5 hours and then I gave up, made dinner and went back to the telly ;p So will have to tackle actual cleaning tonight.
ION the bbc have a list of 50 favourite words There are some good ones there, but not mine, which is Trapezoidal. What's yours?

My knowledge of German is pretty much non-existant, but that looks like it would be a very satisfying word to say!

Date: 2008-10-13 11:20 am (UTC)I have favourite words, but can think of none on the spot, so will comment again later once I remember.
However, can I take this glaringly obvious opportunity to mentioned one favourite word of mine... ;)

Tis a scottish term that is. I've infected them all with my nonsense! (and I'm not even really properly scottish)

Date: 2008-10-13 09:24 pm (UTC)I've been reading a couple of Joan Aiken's Dido Twite novels. There's some lovely words in there: hankersniffle (a handkerchief), tootlepipe (something like a flute), pictclobber (some kind of weapon).
Heh -- "Petrichor - the sweet smell of rain on dry earth.". Someone tell Terry :-)
