Do the hurkle-durkle

[HenHanna]

According to an article in the Washington Post, lazing in bed is
hurkle-durkling. The "Dictionaries of the Scots Language" defines
hurkle-durkling as "to lie in bed or lounge about when one should be
up".
I'll wait for Janet to tell us if the term is current, but she may
still be in the very act of hurkle-durkling.

I like the Gaelic word relevant to that sentiment.
'glocnid' means the dram you have in the morning before you get out of
bed.

FW is fully of vocab on hobos, drunkards, and dithering (idle
jabber).

And as I was jogging along in a dream as dozing I was dawdling,

i've always assumed that dawdling is syn. with
lazing in bed ------ hurkle-durkling.

gleam darkling adown surface of affluvial flowandflow as again
might seem garments of laundry reposing a leasward close at
hand in full expectation. And as I was jogging along in a dream as
dozing I was dawdling, arrah, methought broadtone was heard and
the creepers and the gliders and flivvers of the earth breath and
the dancetongues of the woodfires and the hummers in their
ground all vociferated echoating: Shaun! Shaun! Post the post!
with a high voice and O, the higher on high the deeper and low,
I heard him so!

In US it means (approximately) up/awake but doing little or nothing.
Sometimes has connotation of being reluctant to get going.
