Saw @susiedent.com yesterday at Salford Quays, couldn’t get the QR code to work to mention a new term I heard that really needs to get into the dictionary. With cold water swimming becoming so popular we’re seeing a huge rise in cases of fannyphylactic shock 🤣🤣🤣

Word of the day is one I mention often. To have the ‘mubble-fubbles’, in the 16th century, was to experience a fit of despondency or low spirits - another name for the Sunday blues.

Word of the day, though I’m sure no one will need it, is ‘eye servant’ (16th century): an individual who only pays attention or works hard when the boss is looking.

Word of the day is ‘librocubicularist’: one who loves nothing better than reading in bed.
(Not easy to say, but I’m glad to know it exists).

A fantastic evening listening to another Seed Talk. Dr Megan Klabunde spoke about current research into the brain and body connections and how trauma impacts children and adults. Brilliant talk - keep up with the therapy because it works, and take up yoga and mindfulness were my takeaways 😊

My word of the day (and personal recommendation) is ‘snerdling’ (18th century): nestling cosily beneath the covers and holding off the day a little longer.
