[English]

The parrots have

their own language.

I don't understand it,

but they tell me

it is time

to get up.

Gardener coming at 8:00,

so I get up at 6:00,

prepare my ma-te*,

set breakfast table,

check messages,

go out and

move cars,

shovel dog poop,

finish checking

messages.

The gardener 

is here.

Lawn mowers

instead of

parrots.

The sun has returned

Warmth returns,
the darkness goes.
The sun
is a blessing.

De Trej (Almensk)

[Almensk]

Denna trej hava mange rutar,
o deje goa i ala direksjonar.
Om du snita af
nogon rutar,
de trej
skal vara svagarad.
Om du snita af ala,
de trej skal döa.
Det er en old trej,
nativ i mange landar.
Dets bladar o grenar
giva sjiuge
til ala.

Here is another translation of this poem, from a conlanger friend of mine:

[Occidental / Interlingue]

Ti árbor have mult radicas,
et ili ea in omni directiones.
Si tu abstrae
qualcunc del radicas,
li árbor
va esser deperit.
Si tu abstrae les tot,
it va morir.
It es un old árbor,
indigen a mult landes.
Su folies e branches
da ombre
ad omnes.

Tomorrow is the first day of spring here in the Southern Hemisphere. The high temperature today was 81F (27C). Beautiful, beautiful day. They are forecasting a "severe storm" for tomorrow. Besides being the first day of spring, tomorrow is my birthday. But because of the spectacularly good weather today and the storm forecast for tomorrow, we decided to celebrate today. It was a great decision.

At first we planned to go to Valizas, a hippie beach town five km. south of here, where there is a very good restaurant. But Sandy chose to drive through our little Aguas Dulces on the way out, which was another great decision. (We've been here at our beach house since Thursday afternoon, and will be going back to Atlántida on Monday.) We were surprised to find that Frog's, one of our favorite Aguas Dulces restaurants, and arguably the best, was open for lunch although we are in the off-season.

Anyway, to make a long story shorter, the combination of the wonderful weather, great music on their sound system (Blues,Klezmer, and Bossa Nova), wonderful food, artesanal beer (I know, it's a Spanish word, sorry) and a delightful chat with Marta, wife of Miguel, the owner, plus solicitous service from our favorite waitress, made everything just perfect.

Both before and after that, we spent delicious time on our deck overlooking the ocean. We also had the pleasure of taking our doggie, Betty, on a couple of beach walks, on which she romped in the water, getting her belly and legs totally soaked. A good time was had by all.

I have to say that this was one of the best birthdays I've had in years, and I savored and thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. Maybe I should start celebrating it on the 22nd instead of the 23rd as a regular thing--it seems to work out well.

Gymnosophia LXVIII - Concretion

A concretion
of sandstone
and small shells
holds many surprises.
At first we don't
realize
that its base
is a single,
ribbed and ancient
seashell.

A 76-year-old man
sits at his computer desk,
with a beach specimen
before him.
At first we don't
realize
that his nudity
is only an outer layer,
supported by
millennia.
