Algid: (adjective) cold; chilly. A late Renaissance term, algid is derived from the term algidus, meaning “cold.”
It’s downright cold across much of the US right now and, I suspect, lots of other places. Even here where our winters can be quite mild, a northerly wind is battering against the house in gusts and it’s certainly beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. Which is just fine with me.
After all, whenever I want to ward off the algid weather, I have only to look to Mr. Armitage and his various ChaRActers to warm me up nicely.
And who better than our man of the day, Sir Guy? Happy Guyday Friday and don’t get too algid!
