About Me
- Scriptor Senex
- I'm a blogger - nowadays that seems to be my main occupation and Rambles from My Chair is my main blog. I’m a retired local government executive - now studying how to survive a neurological disorder that gives me various problems but, hopefully, a whole new outlook on life and an increased sense of humour and perspective. I enjoy all manner of communication apart from the telephone and am constantly e-mailing, texting, writing postcards and letters and commenting on other people's blogs. Scriptor Senex is Latin for Old Writer and my real name is John but I've almost forgotten that nowadays... “He’s not so old. He’s just the age that he is, that’s all.” (Gerald Hammond)

Hmmm I am trying to bring "jentacular" into context. Can you give an example phrase?
ReplyDeleteNowadays things that pop and puff have replaced the proper jentacular offerings of kippers and cold ham.
ReplyDeleteHow about that!
Right, I misunderstood, then. To me it seemed more a case of "The chambermaid always made sure Her Ladyship would receive her usual jentacular cup of tea and biscuit in bed, before even the curtains were opened." Kippers and cold ham sounds much more like something people would have a little while after getting up, when they are properly washed and dressed and ready to go downstairs to sit at the dining table.
ReplyDeleteI suppose it depends at what time one arose! Your sentence sounds equally appropriate to me.
