The kids had another day off school - for Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement. It is the day on which you should try and make it up with people you've fallen out with. It's also a day of fasting.
Girl and Boy were both in crafty mood this morning, and did a cutting and sticking project at the kitchen table. Then friends rang and invited us to join them at the local play park, which was where we realised it was really quite a hot day and nice to be outside. The friends happen to be Jewish, so the moms were looking a little pale on account of the fasting.
This evening we have been having a frustrating time trying to organise a trip for the upcoming long weekend (includes Columbus Day on Monday). Seems we are not the only ones wanting to book a place to stay for a couple of nights...
I like the idea of a Day of Atonement, however, I am a terrible grudge-holder. Maybe every 10 years I'll review my current list of grudgees and decided whether or not to atone. I'll call it Grudgement Day.
ReplyDeleteRR and ME - it's next week. On the day before bell ringing practice in the village. Is that cryptic enough?
Why be cryptic - wouldn't it be interesting to have a meeting of all Albaniana's international following? Looking forward to drink - if ME still wants to drive, shall we go to the place that does Jazz on a Wednesday and Curry on Thursday?
ReplyDeleteI look forward to collecting a grudge-bearer and a cryptic to journey due south on the appointed eve
ReplyDeleteJazz on Wednesday? Curry on Thursday? Where the heck is that then? No, don't tell me, you'll have people jetting in from Japan and all over the place.
ReplyDeleteOh go on, Livid, be the next Linton News editor! Think of the possibilities - you could make it a campaigning newspaper (Linton Demands a Nice Little Cafe!); you could dedicate many column inches to things your friends have been up to, such as drinks night for Blog Commentators Anonymous; you could name and shame people who've irritated you slightly over the past month.
Aren't your fingers just twitching at the prospect!
We'll use the due south drink to persuade her.. (Insane couldn't guess my location either, but I won't tell you as I am sure if you spend long enough on the internet you'll be able to find out)
