There's gift I've ever received has to be a bike when I was younger, a pedal bike.

It was a sort of slick little road bike and I remember it was all like it was so it was all wrapped up

but it was so obvious what it was obviously because nothing shaped like a bike and I had a little ribbon on it

and I was so guest. For that was a life changer and I'm still sort of big on cycling around my area now

so for that one change me a little.

Joy in every sip with red carp's now back at Starbucks.

Something that's...

Welcome to something rhymes with purple. My name is Dryer's Brandrath and I'm the co-presenter of this weekly podcast all about words and language.

I love words, I love language and I love my co-host Susie Dent. We have been friends for a very long time but every week she manages to surprise me because she knows so much and she wears her scholarship so lightly.

How are you Susie? What kind of a week have you had is everything good in your world?

I'm fine, thank you. I've had a lot of fun.

I've had a swalloking week. Do you remember swalloking? Tell me what it means again.

Yeah, it means sweltering, mafting as I would say in Northeastern England. Yes, it's been very, very hot here and I don't know if you're sitting in your cool basement, I'm sitting in a rather warm study at the moment.

I am very good at keeping cool and one of the things I've been doing during the hot weather is keeping on my jumpers, my sweaters because I love them and I have this curious idea that my sweaters are rather like a thermos flask.

You can put hot cocoa into a thermos flask, it stays hot, you can put ice cubes in, they stay cold.

So when I'm cool, I put on a sweater and it keeps me cool, that's my idea.

But more seriously, I've been escaping the heat outdoors by going to buildings that are cool and I've been visiting some art galleries where they're beautifully air conditioned and you can feel cool, they're not crowded and you can sit at a great art.

I visited a local library which was air conditioned and just sat there, it was fantastic and I've been to several churches and cathedrals.
