Be careful what you wish for, WE. The Gods may grant it to you and who knows what in your garden will also be flattened/uprooted.
Some places are getting down to zero tonight. Supposed to be a few degrees above freezing here. I hope they are right.
My Latin teacher (I know, but it seemed like a Good Idea at the time) used to describe most swear words as Anglo Saxon. Probably accurately although she was Welsh so may have been a little biased against the English origins. I also remember a maths teacher sighing heavily when one student was 'f***ing' every other word and saying "John, if you must swear, could you at least use a little variety?" I've never acquired the habit, and it is a habit, of swearing even though I've worked in very masculine environments for most of working life. English is a marvellous language, and any words can be appropriate at some time. It's the monotony of most swearing that I find a bit tedious.
My grump today is the internet playing up again because it's raining.

Wouldn't be the first time. Their other shed has lost its roof felt several times and it always ends up in my garden. The new shed is huge, ugly and looks very flimsy.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
A friend of ours uses the 'F' word virtually as punctuation. She looks like butter wouldn't melt, so actually seems quite funny to us. Doubtless not so funny to others, particularly with children, to hear her potty mouthed torrents.
My father in law thinks it's hilarious that I don't swear. I get it from my dad who I've only heard swearing a few times in my whole life and even then it's pretty mild stuff. When he swears though you know things are getting bad I have a pretty foul mouth in private though

Speaking of LEGO. They released a series of people you can buy in random sealed bags recently and one of them is titled 'The gardener'. It doesn't look much like me sadly but I do like the plastic flamingo and snazzy blouse.
