Being in the lounge I take leave to digress.
Glum - do you ever feel that way ? Know how it feels, or know what it means?
For me, it certainly refers to fishing, and rarely to normal activities.
glum
adjective: glum; comparative adjective: glummer; superlative adjective: glummest
looking or feeling dejected; morose.
"the princess looked glum but later cheered up"
synonyms: gloomy, downcast, downhearted, dejected, disconsolate, dispirited, despondent, crestfallen, cast down, depressed, disappointed, disheartened, discouraged, demoralized, desolate, heavy-hearted, in low spirits, low-spirited, sad, unhappy, doleful, melancholy, miserable, woebegone, mournful, forlorn, long-faced, fed up, in the doldrums, wretched, lugubrious, morose, sepulchral, saturnine, dour, mirthless; informalblue, down, down in the mouth, down in the dumps;
Anyway Thursday I am finished work about 5.30pm, good going, from a BT wifi down for three days, but then I looked at my rods unused and lonely in their rod tubes - and felt glum, so I googled it.
Hey OED, usage like "the princess looked glum but later cheered up" does not even get near it - how about "I saw the sea lice just before it leaped and was off - then I felt glum".
OK, I could have been at Rothes on the Spey on Thursday (Thanks DL) and later found out that springers were caught, so according to OED I should have felt Glummer.
So I went out with the dog, fell off a stile and spent an evening with the Para's - Para Ceptemol and his brother Ian Bruprofen, then some tests. According to OED I should have felt Glummest.
So today is Friday TFIF as many will know. I had a call to fish the Spey again, problem is OED does not deal with this - there is no definition for "PostGlum" or "Glumfree" nor even "Glum Survivor" , so I can only say I feel a lot better now, thanks to all concerned.
There is no reason whatever to feel glum if you are asked to fish up on the Spey.
