Thanks for dropping in, Glow-worm. The picture you were painting with the surface for 6ac was clearly not the picture that came into my head (my excuse is that I hate le bricolage). Now you’ve explained it, it’s actually quite funny, so I withdraw my remark about no smiley moments …

Thanks again.

Mon plaisir, Pierre…

I had in mind “decoration” in its DIY sense — with a husband and wife working together with no hint of discord!

And yes, FEU[D] + DALLY

Thanks to you and the bloggers

Kind regards

Yes, the explanation from GregN at #2 is likely to be the correct one, thanks to him.

Thanks, both. Either of those would do for me; I fancy Glow-worm might have had Greg’s parsing in mind.

I think FEUDALLY could derive from FEU (endless vendetta) and DALLY (carry on – as in the ‘flirting’ sense)

Thanks, Glow-worm and Pierre. Re FEUDALLY, I think it may be FEUD (vendetta) ALL Y (year) ie endless?
