I have a story in the current issue of My Weekly. It’s called Being A Mother, and this is the week before Mother’s Day here in the UK – it’s like someone plans these things!*
*Of course someone does – no doubt very carefully.

Wednesday word of the week – Subliminal
Subliminal actually means something usually below the level of known sensation or consciousness. It can be useful when advertising.

Wednesday word of the week – Joint
There are lots of types of joints – carpentry, elbow, marijuana, the main part of a non veggie Sunday dinner…
Other uses for the word include a place to meet someone for a drink, something done in partnership (eg jointly writing a book), cutting up a carcass for food, held or belonging to more than one person (joint account) the contrivance by which two artificial things are joined together (that’s something to do with plumbing, I think) the part of a stem from which a leaf grows, the cement bit between bricks and to prepare something ready to be joined to something else.
If I’ve missed any, please let me know – that way this post will be a joint effort.

Wednesday word of the week – Tiro
A tiro (which can also be written as tyro) is a beginner or novice. Two or more are known as tiros.
I’m a tiro when it comes to wildlife photography, but fortunately this little bird hopped off instead of flying away, so I got some of it in focus. Anyone know what it is?
