noun:
A malicious satisfaction obtained from the misfortunes of others.
Schadenfreude comes from the German, from Schaden, "damage" + Freude, "joy." It is often capitalized, as it is in German.
No, I'm not going to engage in any of that but this is one of my favourite words. Not often that a modern German word is used in English parlance, despite the history of our language.
Anyway, much better than in my previous post; I just needed to get that off my chest. No real explanation from the offender, but we'll deal with that when they return from Turkey.
Otherwise, some much needed recuperationthis week and quality time with the family. Watched a bit of the French Open tennis and really pleased now the outdoors athletics season is in full swing.
I even have a fantasy athletics team: http://game.fantasyathletics.iaaf.org/ifa/ !
A few things have caught my eye over the last week and I'll share them over the next few days.
Care to you all.
