I was pondering what to blog about today, especially after I Mini Meadowed (see the side bar) the news about the webcam, then I open up the inbox and see that we have some Blog Minion news:

Not sure how much I like the term ‘minion’…

Minion is a great term.
Ok, so it has some nasty connotations, but those aren’t applicable in this case. I think it is time to take back the word and make it something good.
I have just used the OED and, it turns out, that originally, Minions were the favourites of a sovereign, or other powerful person. (From the French, “mignon”, meaning darling).
So, as Blog Minions, you are people who are specially favoured. I use it as a term of endearment and affection.
So there 😛
