My favourite word of the day

I don't think it's an English word, I picked it up from an American friend when we were over there a few years ago. It's very expressive, though, says all I wanted to say.

I like words. Since doing Anglo-Saxon studies I've come across a few words which we've lost, which I wish we still had because they're very expressive IMHO. One of the best that I like is 'swincan' - to work hard, to labour. We could use it now - I swink, thou swinkest, he/she/it swinks. And also 'feran' - to travel as in 'I fare, thou farest, he/she/it fares'. Much better than the derivation from 'travailler'.

Totally off-topic, many apologies to the OP.

For myself, I could not live in any country where there was 'nothing else to do' except to drink. I would die of boredom long before any other ailment kicked in.

Try and get in touch with your local carers resource, they will give you the full information, go out and assess your inlaws and help them fill in any paperwork. they helped my parents and my mother now gets CA and my dad gets a pension top up.
