Writings about Ataxia, being DeafBlind, family life. The best life can offer!


Craig’s WD #52

Today’s Word of the Day is…

Lustrum

Not to be confused with a lusty brand of rum, this is an old term for a period of five years. A moderner word for that period is: quinquennium.

However, I’d suggest you use five years, it is much easier!

Have a great day!.
