Yesterday, I shared the word Quidnunc, meaning an inquisitive and bossy person. Today, I ask, are you hurkle-durkling?
This enchanting 18th century phrase is Scottish in origin and means lounging about in bed long after you should be up. Instead of sounding punitive like idle or lazy, hurkle-durkling sounds light and cheerful. I once saw the phrase, happiness is hurkle-durkling – perfect.
So, if you’re in the mood for some hurkle-durkling on a cold winter day, go ahead.

I can safely say I’m not hurkle-durkling today!

Hurdle-firkling (that’s what autocorrect does to it) is my favourite word and I’ve written a whole piece about it (with difficulty because of the autocorrections). Maybe I’ll try hurdle-firkling.Thank youBarbara
