Knackered Friday?
by Elouise
Are you knackered? This great word comes from England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Australia and beyond. Here are several visual definitions. For the benefit of all who are too knackered to read on.
First, a photo of Smudge (above), taken several days after he was rescued dripping wet, voracious and exhausted, by our granddaughters and their mother. Knackered. As in all tuckered out.
Here are four other helpful overviews, thanks to Google,

Here’s to an unknackered weekend!
With sincere apologies to my many friends
who know far more and better
than I do about knackered.
Dare I ask: Are you knackered? Feel free to share your experiences!
Or not.

I am knackered – and sometimes it is simply lovely to admit it and take a day off. I did that Wednesday and felt better for it. 🙂 Thanks for this lovely post. xx

Would you believe I had to go and look up ‘yonks’? Thanks for improving on my already over-rated, under-appreciated education! 🙂
