todayiamadaisyI get the weekly newsletter from WordSpy, which records new words as they develop. It's interesting, but I think there's a difference between new words that may actually be useful and new words for completely made up things. Viz. yesterday's new word, which was 'carrotmob': n. An event where people support an environmentally-friendly store by gathering en masse to purchase the store's products. I can't tell you how unlikely I find (a) the event, (b) the word and (c) the possibility that I would use it.
It has been freakishly non-windy here this past week. Leaves aren't rustling, clothes are hanging straight down on the washing line, dropped papers are staying exactly where they fall... it just isn't right, I tell you. The worst part is that there's no wind to dry the frost off the footpaths, so they stay slimy and slippery all day. Ick.
So to end my week of Sights in the City by the Sea, here's a photo of the sea in question: the unusually flat (but usually cold) Southern Ocean and two optimistic surfers in it. They're not going to get far on that wind-less breaker.
