I just found the book, looks good. Struck by the contrast with people on my timeline arguing about whether people with incomes of £200k are wealthy or not. I've no patience.

It's not what you post that attracts followers. It's all about who you are.
I always thought that. Now there's proof.

It's marvellous when people go to the trouble of scanning hard-to-find reference books.
Like this Old English dictionary from 1897.
But. Look up the fascinating word ār and you find someone rocked the boat. The frustration.

I did a batch last Sunday. Cabbage and beetroot. Tragedy on Thursday when I saw the popper on one had popped. Air was getting in.
I panicked and scooped out the top layer, fearing it might get mouldy. It's oxidised again but I think it will be ok.

This is what happens when dialect forms of English that have been knocked out of you at an early age become trendy & widespread.
You're reading Virginia Woolf's wonderful prose. And are smacked in the mouth as if you'd stood on a rake. Takes a second or two to recover.

Recently arrived. Thanks to @finchwrites.bsky.social for getting me in.
As a freelance hack, if I was an average earner I'd be making £52k a year. Still pondering this. A clue might be the v low base numbers. Maybe 93 is the total number of UK freelances who are making any money at all.
