I don’t know if Ma was taking the nieces advice on sleeping snuggled like a ball but when she woke up just now a crane would have been helpful to heave her into the upright position.
To say she was stiff and creaky is a gross understatement.
Oh to be “nimble” again she uttered and that started a whole chain of thought.
“Scooby” she said “did you know that long long ago when I was young there was a bread on the market in the UK called NIMBLE”
She went on to explain that it was for people who were watching their weight and was very airy and light.
Did I really need to know this at six in the morning?
We then reflected for a moment on that word. For Ma it will always evoke memories of bread floating heavenward on a balloon.
For me it somehow is not a word that I care for. It’s too posh too contrived.
Do you like it?
I prefer good honest words like bendy!!!
