Don your armour and grab your steed, Purple people because today we are galloping onto the battle field to uncover the etymological treasures of Weaponry.
From biting bullets to smoking guns, Susie will guide us through the link between rainbows and archery, what the Armadillo has to do with armoury and why freelancers weren’t always that friendly. Gyles shares some further behind-the-scenes details of one of the most watched events on tele which leads into discussions of corona (but not that corona) and why it’s courteous to curtsy.
Susie and Gyles have their weekly dose of three scintillating words and a delicious poem for us and as always, they want to hear from you!

Nidification: to build a nest and retreat for a while
Polydipsia: A great thirst (usually in a figurative sense eg. for fame)
Gyles' poem this week was ‘To You’ by Langston Hughes
To sit down and dream,
To sit and read,
To sit and learn about the world
Outside our world of here and now-
Our problem world-
To dream of vast horizons of the soul
Through dreams made whole,
Unfettered free-help me!
All you who are dreamers,too,
Help me to make our world anew.
I reach out my dreams to you.
