Thank you so much for taking part in W...Hi Mareli,<br /><br />Thank you so much for taking part in WWW today and sharing your word. I really like the sound of 'curmudgeon', however it is a little use word here in the UK these days and is more often replaced by the word 'grumpy'. Having worked in the charity sector for many years, I have come across many 'curmudgeons' and I do hate to speak ill of the dead, but my own father probably came in that same description towards the end of his 91 year life!<br /><br />Thank you for including Kathy's name in your post, as this is still very much her meme as far as I am concerned and I am only 'keeping her seat warm' for her until she returns. That is why I haven't included a link up in my posts, as I am basically only sharing my own personal words each week.<br /><br />If you come across any new to you words though, please do share them, as I always enjoy checking them out.<br /><br />I love that you linked your favourite grumpy character books, I had great fun checking them out, but like yourself I can always remember Mrs Rottenmeier from Heidi, as that was one of my favourite books when I was a child and I read it over and over again.<br /><br />It is great that you share your Afrikaans words here too, as I am always interested in discovering those as well!<br /><br />Have a peaceful week :)<br /><br />Yvonne xxYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.com
