I did not know this was an English word. Ozio is the Italian for lazyness...

Wow - what a word today Rachel!
And the pic is perfect with it.

My word of the day: chrestomathy - a selection of passages used to help learn a language. A volume of selected passages or stories of an author.

*I'm looking forward to my chrestomathy from Rachel Green*

My shoe of the day: A funky thing from 1937-38 that I would absolutely wear. Teal green toe and the heel and top body of the shoe in dark gray and silver striping. Funky! Yowza!

How super!

I'd love to be more adventurous with shoes. When I am old I shall wear purple...

What an odd word - it sounds medical!
