TRIGGER: Rain

May 2, 2008 at 9:05 pm · Filed under Triggers and tagged: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Well…after saying that ‘Spring has Sprung’ it suddenly recoiled and winter crept back in. The temperature cooled (again!), the sun crept back behind the big black clouds and the rain came. And the rain came. And the rain came some more.
(checks feet….yep, they’re webbed).
 
Now then, what’s the betting that they’ll still declare a water shortage when (or should that be if) Summer gets here?
 
Tomorrow I face a very wet drive to look at the first of the Universities that my Daughter is considering going to.

Sounds like the cue for a song or 14…so the trigger is:
 
rain  [reyn]

3. rains, the rainy season; seasonal rainfall, as in India.
4. weather marked by steady or frequent rainfall
5. a heavy and continuous descent or inflicting of anything
-verb
6. to fall like rain
7. to send down in great quantities, as small pieces or objects
8. to offer, bestow, or give in great quantity
-Idiom
9. rain cats and dogs

TRIGGER: Feet

April 18, 2008 at 10:11 pm · Filed under Triggers and tagged: , , , , , , , , , , ,

I’ve been eyeing up my wife’s foot spa today. All those soft soapy bubbles and vibration.
 
You see, as part of my work I walk miles. I drive miles too, but I’ve yet to see a dedicated bum spa…..so a foot spa will have to suffice.
 
My feet are killing me (if you hadn’t already guessed) and I think the opportunity to put my feet up over the weekend will not materialise, so I’m going to treat myself to a bit of pampering.
 
 
Anyway, that leads me nicely into a Trigger, which is…
 
feet (plural of foot)
foot
–noun
1. (in vertebrates) the terminal part of the leg, below the ankle joint, on which the body stands and moves.
2. (in invertebrates) any part similar in position or function.
3. such a part considered as the organ of locomotion.
4. a unit of length, originally derived from the length of the human foot.
5. walking or running motion; pace
6. quality or character of movement or motion; tread; step.
7. any part or thing resembling a foot, as in function, placement, shape, etc.
8. the lowest part, or bottom, of anything, as of a hill, ladder, page, etc.
–verb
9. to walk; go on foot
10. to move the feet rhythmically, as to music or in dance
