New years resolution.....I must learn to speak more than a handful of phrases in the gaelic. My Irish daughter-in-law hasn't taught me all that. I get most of it. BTW I had realised after posting that I had made a spelling mistake, which could be very dodgy when one is using other than ones native tongue :-) She taught me to say "Nollaig faoi shean agus faoi shonas duit agus bliain nua faoi mhaise dhuit!" Its very difficult learning a language in e-mails, pronunciation is difficult, I get phonetic spellings.

The greatest part of wisdom is learning to develop  the ineffable genius of extracting the "neither here nor there" out of any situation...."
