Hello there, Pals! Late again… Actually, it depends, because it might be early for some and/or really late for others. Here I am, though. I don’t know what the universe is trying to tell me but I’m in the sea of constant worry and stupid little problems that require almost instant solutions. I do hope you’re all right especially if you are a sane person in an insane world.
Anyway, I’m still waiting for my treatment to start so I don’t want to aggravate my elbow by gripping my dumbbells so I’m doing bodyweight routines. Sometimes really tough ones but I like the challenge. If I couldn’t work out, I’d go slightly mad. I’ve just realised that I haven’t used my expander for a while now…Hmm.. good idea.
Let’s move on to our fact-finder fragment. Have you ever wondered what causes that good smell after rain? There’s a family of bacteria called Streptomyces, which live in soil all over the world. They produce a chemical called geosmin which gives soil its earthy smell. When raindrops hit the ground, tiny droplets of geosmin can fly up into the air and sometimes reach our noses.
Also, have you ever wondered why our planet is called Earth? In English, planets are usually named after Greek and Roman gods, but Earth is not. The name is derived from an ancient word for the ground. Most European languages are descended from the same ancient tongue. This ancient Indo-European tongue had the word ‘err’ meaning ‘ground’. In Old English this word evolved into eorthe, then earth. English speakers are not the only people who decided to name the Earth after our word for ‘ground’. (In Hungarian Earth=Föld. Föld means ‘soil’ or ‘ground’ (in certain contexts, ‘floor’).
All right, Pals, that’s it from me today, have an easy day and have a look at the picture I attached. Do you know what these are? It’s not a stock photo, by the way.
