Jars! It's been forever since I last posted with you! How are you doing?
I'm good, Nilly, thanks for asking!
I've just moved to Cork, on the south coast of Ireland, to start a new job, which I'm quite enjoying. Though I am walking an hour each way every day to work. I really must learn to drive one of these days...
Are you enjoying your birthday? Has there been cake?
Happiest of Birthdays, Nilly!!!
Jars, it's good to read that you're enjoying your new job! But an hour walk each way does sound like quite a lot. I hope you'll be able to find a better solution.
Has there been cake?
There was ice-cream last night, and there is chocolate now. Cake and an actual doing-something-with-friends will have to wait, though, because it's difficult to schedule something with people so close to the upcoming holidays (Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year's holiday, is next week).
Oh, and a-moment-of-Hebrew:
day="yom"
birthday= "Yom Hoolledet"
happy="same'akh"
So "happy birthday"="Yom Hoolledet same'akh".
Yom Hoolledet same'akh, Nilly!
I first read 'Hoolledet' as 'holodeck'.
Silly tommyrot. Every day is a happy holodeck day!
Happy Birthday Nilly!
Excellent development Dylan!
(The new generation is obviously in the early stages of taking over the world, do we old ones need to caucus? Start saving canned goods? Dig a shelter of some sort?)
A friend of mine says that the whole time between her general-date birthday and her Jewish-date birthday should be dedicated for celebrations.
You should celebrate both days at the very least.
Yom Hoolledet same'akh, Nilly! May your year be full of joy.
