Re: DIALECT AND WORD MEANINGS
I tripped over this word this morning. Never seen it before.
Thalassophobia is an intense phobia or fear of large or deep water. If you have thalassophobia, you may be afraid of the ocean, sea, and large lakes. Some people may deal with a little anxiety about the ocean.

You deserve an easy day as well Ian. I see you took your ease on the bus to Skipton.
I shall call in at Well when I go veggie shopping. They are booking Covid Booster jabs. I said I'd partake if it was in walking distance!
