| I do not know quite what happened or when , but my hubby and I now qualify for seniors' discounts at some venues. This creates a quandary; in order to save money, but not face, we have to admit to our age. HMMMM..... We definitely do not consider ourselves to be old. In this day and age ,when people as a whole are living longer and healthier lives why are 'young seniors', those in their fifties, like moi, considered 'old'?? It's so true that age is just a perception! "Maturity" is very objective/subjective, and I object! Whew, a few years have skittered by since I composed this biography block. Those "fifties" are in the rear view mirror and they are distant, fond memories. Oh, I do not plan to stop writing any time soon. |
| March 14th Prompt: Make a list of your favourite words to say. Describe why they are your favourites and include a pronunciation guide. Brownie points if you can use these words in a sentence. Favourite words? All words are wonderful and expressive. They each flow and support each other. But... I like words that are fun to pronounce and sometimes they are not English. Pantoufles! ( pan-too-fle) Every morning, I stretch before I cram my feet into my pantoufles and shuffle into the kitchen. Parapluie ( paira- plooey) When it rains, I open my yellow parapluie and shelter under it. Scarpered ( skar-purred) The thief scarpered with my wallet. Mardy (mar-dee) After a night of tossing and turning, Danielle is mardy. Being told no, two-year old Alexandra stomps to the couch and sucks her thumb because she is mardy. Knackered (nak-urred) Driving a thousand miles a week, Paul returns home knackered. Patch (pa-t-ch) A versatile word. There are quilt, bald, pocket, eye and garden patches. The gleaming patch on the man's head glistened as he bent to dig in his vegetable patch. Coronamude(with the German umlaut over the u)(kor-own-a-mood-a) Most everyone's feelings about Corona-19 may be summed up as coronamude. Doddle(daw-dul) No one may claim that this worldwide virus is a doddle. |
