That's it, the vacation is over and now it's back to work. Yup - we have to put our nose to the grindstone and get things done!! It was fun while it lasted and I'm glad we did it!! Hope you all have been doing well.
Definition: There are two rival explanations as to the origin of this phrase. One is that it comes from the supposed habit of millers who checked that the stones used for grinding cereal weren't overheating by putting their nose to the stone in order to smell any burning. The other is that it comes from the practice of knife grinders when sharpening blades to bend over the stone, or even to lie flat on their fronts, with their faces near the grindstone in order to hold the blades against the stone.
