The #wotd is my Lenqin A8 LN0550 w/ the NATO strap & button compass. I'm still amazed at the quality for it being a budget piece. Remember, watch collecting doesn't need to be an expensive hobby! #watches #Chinesewatches #analogwatches #fieldwatches #tacticalwatches #natostrap #horology #horologist

I've discovered another Hookland dialect word I like: wudlec – the rightful respect the woods deserve. It implies a regard for more than paths. I discovered the word after being accused of being: "A wudlec free zone. A guaranteed future search and rescue." – #MattAdams, 1982 #WOTD

When you make a big mistake, it is not a bad idea to start by apologizing profusely.

The #ConnectedAtBirth #etymology of the week is LABOUR/LAPSE #wotd #labour #labor #lapse #collapse #labourday #laborday

What is a labour union to do when their contract has lapsed? Turn to etymology! Labour comes from Latin labor “toil, distress, trouble”. Its deeper etymology is uncertain, but one suggestion is that it’s related to labare “to totter” and/or labi “to slip”, which also gives us the word lapse, and if so this would mean the underlying sense of labour is “to stumble under a burden”. But one thing a labour union won’t do is collapse!
