Word for the Day

Baubosking

It is difficult to give the precise meaning of this work. It would seem to have reference to a straying away of sheep or cattle from the pasture assigned to them. The speaker merely meant to say he was a man who seldom left his own home for the sake of visiting new places.

- Rev. Marmaduke Charles Morris’s Yorkshire Folk-Talk, 1892

Guitar

I played 5 songs for 23 minutes. I have played for 165 hours 15 minutes in total with 9834 hours 44 minutes to go before I reach the point at which you are supposed to become an expert at an activity.

It has been 84 days since I have played all of the songs I have been practising. It will take 4 hours 39 minutes to play through them all in one session.
