Go on, guess what a yegg is …

It’s a travelling burglar or safe breaker. Didn’t get it, did you?

We do a lot of travelling, but just about the only thing I take is photos. I like to think I do that with flare 😉

Browse can mean either to read in a rather unmethodical manner or to look through items for sale or a collection in a similar fashion. Imagine you’re in a bookshop which has a massive sale on and you keep flitting between titles by your favourite authors and pretty, shiny notebooks.

Another meaning of the word browse is vegetation eaten by animals and their method of consuming it. A browser is someone who browses.

So, you could browse the library for a book on browsers browsing on browse, to browse through. By now you maybe raising your eyebrows!

My tongue is protractile. I’d stick it and prove it, but that’d be rude, so here’s a tulip instead.

The term usually refers to body parts and simply means they can be extended or protruded. Another word for the same thing is protrusible.

Which do you like best – protractile or protrusible?

Wellnigh is an old fashioned word meaning almost. It’s most often used in the phrase ‘wellnigh impossible’.

It’s wellnigh impossible to keep finding excuses to post pictures from my travels – but somehow I manage it!

Update – The concise Oxford dictionary gives this as one word, but other places list it as two, or even hyphenate it. All variants seem to have the same meaning. Nigh on its own means near.
