... and so the lateness continues...


Ok, so I'm late for the second time! Yesterday was a bit crazy so I didn't get time to post, but I took some pictures!

Word #2
lucent : [loo-suhnt] : adjective
  1. shining.
  2. translucent; clear.




The first picture I snapped of an advert in the union... a rubbish photo really but as I study electronics, 'LED' caught my eye! I'm a geek at heart. They are more energy efficient, and they would last longer (hence saving you money)




Second picture is a view from a window at uni of a small part of Leeds at night. I thought the shining lights would put across the word well. Classic, but still pretty!







Word #3
brogue : [brohg] : noun
  1. Any strong regional accent.
  2. An Irish accent in the pronunciation of English.
  3. A durable, comfortable, low-heeled shoe, often having decorative perforations and a wing tip.
  4. A coarse, usually untanned leather shoe once worn in Ireland and Scotland.
  5. Brogan.
  6. A fraud; trick; prank.

A strange word to try taking a photo of... thankfully I read some of The Lord of the Rings today and this dialogue between Frodo and Sam has some proper local language! I love it.




I know it's technically not Irish, or Scottish, but it is regional.
