pegkerrAgain, I'm doing this card a little early, as I will be away for a three-day work event this weekend.
One of the sentences that came up in my Scottish Gaelic practice in Duolingo this week was the sentence: 'S e mo cha-là-breith a th' ann!' (which means 'It's my birthday')
This was entirely apropos because it was, in fact, my 64th birthday. And it was an entirely lovely one.
I wore one of my favorite necklaces to note the occasion and met Fiona for brunch. Afterward, we went to browse around the newly open Tropes & Trifles bookstore. Later in the afternoon, I met my mom and sisters for coffee.
I was quite delighted with the gifts my family gave me. Fiona, Alona, and Delia gave me a lovely floaty wisp of a thing printed with irises, and the promise of tickets to the Guthrie's Shakespeare history play cycle: Richard II, Henry IV, and Henry V. My sisters gave me a couple of new plants for my collection and a loaf of Betsy's homemade sourdough bread. I can assure you that it is entirely delicious.
Thanks to everyone who helped to make my birthday an entirely delightful day.
Frame: a multistrand glass bead necklace. Upper center: a cartoon bear with a thought bubble that reads 'S e mo cha-là-breith a th' ann!' (Scottish Gaelic for 'It's my birthday'). Over the thought bubble are superimposed the words "Richard II," "Henry IV," and "Henry V." Center: a cup with a coffee latte with a currant scone. Lower right corner: two plants and a package wrapped in a dishtowel. Lower left: several semi-transparent figures of a woman (Peg) with a non-transparent picture of Peg on top, wearing a floaty scarf poncho, printed with irises.

Date: 2024-05-04 09:40 pm (UTC)I am very much interested in the current run of the history plays -- I went to see the ones the Guthrie did in the eighties eight or nine times at least (standing in line for day tickets, which were very cheap). But I am not doing indoor things yet. I wish the Guthrie would do video and sell tickets for viewing that, as Ten Thousand Things does. But that would be a huge undertaking, for sure.
