apricity word of the day

A lovely word but cannot be applied to this part of Berkshire at the moment. It will be nice when it comes.

I've forgotten what that feels like. Snow turning to heavy rain here in North Wales.

Lovely word. I am trying to remember the words for the smell of rain and newly cut grass. Will have to Google.

Found it thanks to Google. Petrichor the smell of rain on dry earth. Not what we have at the moment rain on sodden earth.
Newly cut grass doesn't have its own word.
I shall remember apricity. It's a lovely feeling. Winter sunshine.

The Danes have a word for the imprint of your teeth on butter!

Looking forward to experiencing apricity - lovely word. It's still very dull and damp in the Black Country.

Utterly grey and horrible in my bit of the east midlands today. Not a sliver of apricity to be seen or felt!

East coast Scotland, it’s a lovely day here. Sunny, bright blue skies and very few clouds. Still cold though. Forecast is for another nice day tomorrow then back to rain on Sunday.

Sun? What sun?

No sun here today, just more rain and grey sky. We’re forecast to have some sunshine tomorrow, but I’ll wait and see.

the feeling of the warmth of the winter sun on your face.

What is this phenomenon you call winter sun, please?

East coast England, not a sliver of apricity here (which my iPad just changed to apricots for me, no sign of them either)
Oh spring spring the only word I can think of for spring sunshine is relief.
It’s been one of the coldest, darkest, dankest winters I can think of.

You'll have to nip up to visit nannydarkhair on the east coast of Scotland to find out!

I’m looking forward to using that new word!

Rumour has it that the sun may appear tomorrow…🤞

If the sun comes out tomorrow it will be a shock. It's been snowing most of day but is so wet that thankfully hasn't settled on the road.

I'm sure there was a poster called Apricity, wonder if she is still on here?

I've packed my bags! 🌞

I am in north Scotland and about an hour ago the sun disappeared and the sky darkened and snow fell. So slow down on the packing.

Seemingly, most of us can look forward to some sunshine tomorrow- 14th February - but I won’t hold my breath

A couple of photos from Dundee showing how nice it is today.

Who knew ? Lovely word. These days I'll probably forget it before I have the chance to experience it.

‘Petrichor’ doesn’t sound a bit like wot it means! Who can think up one that conveys pleasing wet-earthiness?

Dank is a great word and describes this horrible winter well.

I made a long cross country train journey today and the word I would use to describe the view was 'soggy.'

Thank you -a wonderful word.
