A Faery stone found dreckly across the road from Edith Rimmington’s final home - a happy portent 🙂

"me 'ansum" and "dreckly"

Did anyone’s folks use “directly” in a similar context?

My grandfather would say he’d be somewhere or do something “dreckly” (directly) and that usually meant he’d do it that day but but maybe not immediately.

“I’ll be there dreckly” could mean 20 minutes or two hours.

Proper Job is an institution. There, we've said it. Who better to talk about the legacy and impact of this IPA than @atjbeer.bsky.social?

After all, what's the rush 🤷🏻
I've always been dreckly.

I grew up in rural, Appalachian Kentucky in the 80's and early 90's. Not only was the accent distinct, but there were words and phrases I have never heard anywhere else in the U.S. since then.

For instance...I commonly heard the Cornish word "dreckly" used for "later".

Sorry for the ranty posts - particularly riled today by the immense amount of global gobshitery that's going on right now... the normal nonsense will resume dreckly, I promise.

Do it dreckly.

Perhaps because I overdid it yesterday but today's ride - up into the big empty bit north of Blair Atholl - felt like the toughest I've done for ages.

My legs just did not want to go on the climb up but glad I persevered as the downhill on the return leg was worth it...

More photos dreckly.
