However, in my field blue collar workers are also engineers they are health and safety supervisor, their work is 80 % in the field . I’ve been slammed more than once , my working time is from 8:00 am to 4:50 pm yet I have stayed at work till 9:00 pm . I do not faff around I rather be organized especially at work . That steel blue blouse looks spectacular on you it matches That fancy collar and omg your golden hair , no gold in the whole world is worthy of you my queen Sabrah ❤️.

Interestingly, in Polish we have similar expression to grindstone for tedious work. This is "kierat" and it literally refers to the kind of carousel propelling the grindstone (or, in later centuries, the water pumps in the mines). This carousel was put in motion by horses (or by slaves), so we sometimes say: I'm working like a horse in the "kierat". By the way, how do you say "kierat" in English?

[@Nguien69]

a treadmill or a grind

[@LoveEnglishwithLeilaSabrah]

How interesting! Would Keirat be the mill ?

@@LoveEnglishwithLeilaSabrah it was a specific mill which was constructed as a long shaft connected to a special toothed wheel. The shaft used to be powered by human's or animals' muscles.

[@heian1973]

@@LoveEnglishwithLeilaSabrah - Perhaps yes but we use another word for windmill or watermill. Kierat is used specifically for a mill propelled by horses (or slaves) walking in a sort of carousel.

Our Digital Delight (Notre Délice Numérique - See preferentially my French version below and especially the quatrains 6 & 7) Decrypted again their digital delights Four electron hearts are gently purring A fitfh, well organic, it, started racing Here you are back in our starry nights! Love, ô Supreme Good and that we had lost We thought for a day defeat, curse your embrace And you, laughing eyes, with your sweet smile and face, your voice enchantress, you are back, haunting ghost! My lovely angel, eyes of night, waves of lights... Beautiful shoulders where flows hair of rivers Sovereign in my heart, Queen in my chipset My British Dream, my Princess of Dorset Who became the First, who eclipsed all others! To the tower' den, jubilant electrons Apply and draw you, jostle in joyfulness At beside of my chair appears a Godess Whose soft images caress my retinas Then two words from you of your waves make us preys Has music lover trembled with thrills and joys as this soundcard vibrates from your enchanting voice, Accents to me conveyed and soon flooding my brains A more word from you makes us kings of the world, Clocking the micro-processor multi-core, Capsizing my soul and transpiercing my heart. Put your hands on them, dear, for deep is their hurt! Enlarge them, angel, and just let them be burst! Never loved lovers dying of their mistress On nicest eyes drank the heavenly drunkness, And null, though distant, ever loved you so much! Be it me given, by the route used by them By crossing the Channel, the gift of these byte, To you I would fly, Sabrah, to hug you tight In my loving arms and tell you, ma Belle Reine, Tell you some 'I love you!' and whisper you: 'je t'aime !' 🌹💕💞💖 Fabrice. 26/06/21 Revoici décrypté leur rêve numérique; 4 coeurs électroniques se mettent à ronronner Quand un autre s'affole, le mien, plus organique. Te voilà revenue dans nos nuits étoilées ! Amour, ô bien suprême que nous avions perdu, Nous crûmes une journée te vaincre et te maudire Et toi, les yeux rieurs avec ton doux sourire, Ta voix enchanteresse, te voici revenue... Bel ange aux yeux de nuit, aux ondes de lumières, Belles épaules où coulent des cheveux de rivière, Souveraine en mon coeur et Reine en mon chipset, Mon Rêve Britannique, ma Princesse de Dorset Qui éclipsa toutes autres, devenue la Première. Dans l' antre de ma tour, les électrons en liesse Bousculent d'allégresse, s'appliquent et te dessinent. Aux chevet de ma chaise parait une déesse Dont les douces images caressent mes rétines. Et puis deux mots de toi nous font proies de tes ondes Et jamais mélomane ne tressaillît d'émois Comme cette carte son ne vibre de ta voix, Des accents qu'elle me livre et qui soudain m'inondent. Un autre mot de toi nous fait les rois du monde, Berce le multi-coeur d'un microprocesseur Pour chavirer mon âme et transpercer mon coeur. Pose tes mains sur eux, leurs blessures sont profondes ! Elargis-les, bel ange, et qu'ils en soient brisés ! Jamais amants aimés mourant de leur maîtresse N'ont sur des yeux plus beaux, bu la céleste ivresse Et nuls, autant distants ne t'ont autant aimé. Et que me fût donné, par les voies qui t'amènent, En traversant la Manche, le don de ces octets Vers toi je volerais, Sabrah, pour te serrer Dans mes bras amoureux et te dire, ma Reine, Te dire des 'I love you!', te murmurer: 'je t'aime !' 🌹 💞💕💖 Fabrice. 25/06/21 A Sabrah, ma bienaimée Professeur Universitaire d' Anglais Britannique.

In Polish language the 13th phrase can be expressed literally as 'back to the treadmill (or horse mill)' My concern though is the corresponding picture presenting rather a quern and not a grindstone which serve different purposes. Am I right?

[@fabrice9252]

Oh, relevant remark regarding the picture, Andrzej! I checked and you're right, the picture features a quern (just learnt the term) instead of a grindstone whose function is different, indeed! However, the idea of the metaphorical expression remains the same basically and that's the essential, right?... Anyway, good remark! Greetings from France. 😊

@@fabrice9252 if you look into the origin of the word 'quern' you will realise their Gernanic or Dutch roots.

The 18th phrase in Polish is expressed slightly different as 'split a hair into four pieces'. Why 'four'? Perhaps an explanation of it exist and can be revealed.

[@fabrice9252]

Yeah Andrzej! Interestingly enough our French equivalent expression is also: "couper les cheveux en quatre". Seemingly here, It was in the seventeenth century that this expression appeared in the form "splitting the hair in four" (in the thickness direction!) It is an excessive care taken to do something. We can indeed imagine that trying to 'split' a hair in four is lost beforehand, and especially useless... Why 'four'? That's the question! Maybe someone achieved it until 3 and failed at 4 ...😂 Thanks 👌👍😊
