Wayne’s Word – noggin

It’s a little nod to Wayne’s World, but instead of ‘party time, excellent’ (if you are aware of the cult nineties classic) I will be diving into one WORD each day. It could be something I learned, something bizarre that happened, a favourite word that I have rediscovered or just a thought that won’t leave me alone.

Today’s word is NOGGIN.

I’m not sure about the rest of the world but in Northern Ireland, noggin is a playful way to refer to your head. You’ll hear someone say “Use your noggin!” when they really mean “Think!” or in my case today, “I’ve a sore noggin” after having my third coffee. Nothing a glass of water won’t fix, I always feel dehydrated if I have more than two coffees in the morning, resulting in a sore head.

The sun again was shining today in Sydney so we went for a walk nearby followed by lunch and a couple of glasses of wine. It was just what the doctor ordered after a hectic couple of weeks. I was saying yesterday how I was excited to see the sunshine and I was on a bit of a high going to work in the afternoon, only to be smacked back down to reality when I reversed parked into an overhead drain, ending up with a smashed rear window to my car. Nightmare but no one was hurt so I’m remaining positive. A day off work today was bliss and my noggin is well and truly rested for another busy week at work incoming.

I hope you’re all having a lovely Sunday off and having some rest and relaxation.
