CAT ADVISORY: Temperatures in the UK could drop to -10c tonight. All cats should IMMEDIATELY find the warmest spot in the house and stay there. Tell humans to bring you snacks and to keep the second warmest spot free in case you want a change of scenery.

I don't want my fridge to have a camera or Wi-Fi. I don't want my dishwasher to be smart. I don't want my washing machine to text me.

In fact, I kinda miss knobs and dials and knowing big appliances would last 20 years and could still be repaired.

A retired workaholic man in Japan is described as a nureochibazoku (wet fallen leaf) because, lacking hobbies and friends through over-work, he follows his wife around like a wet leaf stuck to a shoe. (The Economist) 🍂

A few potential words of the day:

Joblijock: a disturber of domestic peace (small children, cantankerous uncles, etc).

Yule-hole: the furthest notch in your belt that you need to resort to at Christmas.

Confelicity: joy in other people’s happiness.

Merry Christmas.

Word of the day is ‘forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted by work.

I like to add ‘foreswunk’, exhausted before you even begin.

When it comes to the drinking vessel the dictionary also offers the potpanion (fellow drinker), the tosspot (a hard drinker), the pot-knight (ditto), and the gossip-pint-pot (a chatty one). A pot-wit is a drinker who gets wittier when drunk, while a pot-hardy one becomes way too confident.
A season but not an event? What's the pots suffix of hydropots? Is there a pot definition?

Thats very much me.....
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).

Word of the day is a favourite, from old Scots.

To ‘tartle’ is to hesitate while introducing someone because you have completely forgotten their name.
