    Happy Sinterklaas
    Our nice German neighbours left us a chocolate Santa and a note for a happy Sinterklaas. My sister got me a Lego police motorcyclist (her partner's a traffic officer). I hope Black Peter doesn't get any of you with his birch switch!

    Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol
    This famous work of literature has been transformed into a radioplay by the BBC. It features Michael Palin as the narrator. It's well worth a listen. You can hear the second installment online now. This is a humourous 19th century novel by a Russian writer. The main plot revolves around the main character's attempt to get a bank loan by using dead serfs as the collateral.

    If I were a NetHack monster, I would be a floating eye. I see and sense absolutely everything that happens around me. I just don't do very much about it.

    Hippie Meme
    You scored as One Intelectual Individual. You're a thinker. You see things from a very different prospective than the rest of the world, and probably find release and self-expression in music, painting, scalpting, or any other form of art. People see you as a deep person, full of knowledge that they don't understand. People are attracted to that, but there's a good chance you don't care.

    Alice's Name Giving
    Alice's name giving when splendidly, thanks to all those who attended. We had a function at Mannequins (a local café on North Rd). We had a short ritual followed by some morris dancing and then some afternoon tea.

    The Ritual )

    I hope to have some photos of the dancing up sooner or later.

    SS Australis
    I was looking on the Wikicommons picture of the day site, when I saw a rusted hull of a ship. Looking further I discovered it was the ship on which my family immigrated to New Zealand.

    SS Australis

    Goodness, I don't quite know how to feel.

    Proto Germanic Word of the Indeterminate Temporal Measurement

    *skūrō

    Thanks to Pont for this one who was reading a book about poetry and hopefully Troilus and Cresyde itself and gave me the labour pain connection. The most obvious meaning is the Mod Eng shower. In West Germanic we have the ancient variants OE scūr, OS scûr, OHG scûr; Old Norse has skúr and Gothic skûra. But what Pont wanted to point out was that in Middle English shoures could refer to a woman's labour pains: Harde schourys þenne took her stronge Boþe in bak and eek in wombe. Thanks to Matthew for looking it up in the OED for me while I'm away from work.

    bilingual birth notice denied
    The ODT refused to print a bilingual birth notice for us. I'm glad I wasn't there because Cathie said the guy was rude. He said "New Zealand only has two official languages." So much for probably the first European language to be spoken here.

    Same in Dutch - NL )

    Extra:
    And then they spelt my name wrong when they did print it!

    Proto-Germanic word of two weeks ago
    The mead has arrived from Bemrose, all 12 bottles of it. That should keep us going for a while. Which leads to:

    *medu


    mead, intoxicating drink made from honey. ON mjöð, OE meado and OHG metu.
