I bet there was a touch of “emportment” (‘A spell of anger or strong feeling; a fit of passion. Also as a mass noun: anger, fury’, OED) in Wilton Crescent this morning as residents were woken by the sound of pneumatic drills digging up the road. The gas board working on a Sunday? I can’t even get them to come out during the week, so both the boiler and meter sagas continue, giving rise to my own emportment.
Day #81 of the second 365 project, where the daily pic is informed by the OED word of the day.
