Have you any new word/s that you have learned or interesting fact/s you have unearthed that you’d like to share?
I learned pandiculation. It describes that combination of being extremely sleepy, stretching and yawning at the same time when you wake up.  |

I discovered ASMR last night - a feeling of well-being combined with a tingling sensation in the scalp and down the back of the neck, as experienced by some people in response to a specific gentle stimulus, often a particular sound.

A new and very interesting friend introduced me to the word vapid just yesterday.
I know it’s probably well known to most but I’d never heard it before or at least never acknowledged it’s meaning if I have read it somewhere.
It means to be bland, an airhead or someone of little note.

I’ve always found you rather interesting when we’ve met so maybe we both have a tendency to be vapid together. |

"I think I have previously shared 'snerdling': curling up under a blankey.
Clinomania: the overwhelming urge to have a lie down.
You're back! "
Just another flying visit. I may see out the evening here or not return after dinner.
I hope you're well.

There’s lots of ASMR videos on YouTube.
I’ve watched some to see what the big deal is but I just find them irritating |
