Wednesday word of the week – Joint

There are lots of types of joints – carpentry, elbow, marijuana, the main part of a non veggie Sunday dinner…

Other uses for the word include a place to meet someone for a drink, something done in partnership (eg jointly writing a book), cutting up a carcass for food, held or belonging to more than one person (joint account) the contrivance by which two artificial things are joined together (that’s something to do with plumbing, I think) the part of a stem from which a leaf grows, the cement bit between bricks and to prepare something ready to be joined to something else.

If I’ve missed any, please let me know – that way this post will be a joint effort.

Wednesday word of the week – Tiro

tiro (which can also be written as tyro) is a beginner or novice. Two or more are known as tiros.

I’m a tiro when it comes to wildlife photography, but fortunately this little bird hopped off instead of flying away, so I got some of it in focus. Anyone know what it is?

Here are a few things reviewers have said –

‘ lively humour and bubbling fun, that’s the gold, I loved this book. Smiled all the way to work on the train, smiled all the way home, sniggered happily more than once.’

‘ It’s a great story with characters that are written so well that you really care about them. I laughed, I cried and I shouted “no” at them several times as I joined them on their journey. I also got rather hungry with some of the food descriptions!’

‘ There is real warmth in this tale, the characters are believable, the dialogue good, and the story keeps its pace.’

‘Just the thing to cosy up to on a chilly night.’     Get it here.

Happy Valentine’s! x
