Ghadni Kent, midfun f’nofs il-kampanja hlejja. Ironikament is-sistema tat-telefon qajla twassal dawn in-nahat pero b’xorti tajba hawn il-wireless ta’ dar vicin li tippermetti xi forma ta’ komunikazzjoni. Wara tlett ijiem sbieh ta’ xiri gol-belt inkredibbli ta’ Canterbury, u gol-konkrit devastanti ta’ Ashford, u wara li ntlift gol-pjaciri tas-Cinque Ports fl-ahhar waslet il-maltempata illi kienet ilha imwieghda tul il-btala. Hafna ilma, hafna xita u l-ilwien jinbiddlu. Illum jum il-qaddisin kollha – toussaints kif jghidu il-Francizi.
F’dal erbat ijiem mort it-tijatru darbtejn. Darba rajt il-kumpanija komika Spymonkey go “Moby Dick” (eccellenti) go Canterbuy imbaghad rajt lill-imitatur Alistair McGowan gewwa Royal Tumbridge Wells (inkredibbli). Tijatri helwin, ifakkruk fl-ghoxrinijiet u Jeeves u Wooster, prezz accessibilissimu u serata garantita.
Jien se nzur il-kosta u niekol ikla twajba go xi pub iehor. It-toroq ta’ Kent kollha tlajja’ u dojoq – panorama sabiha imma jghajjuk fis-sewqan. L-aqwa li illum toussaints – ghax ghat-telgha kull qaddis jghodd!
very poetic and romantic but please note:
twajba=kind
kull qaddis jghin mhux jghodd.
hlejja?????? have my doubts
Love you just the same. Do you know that I had considered naming you Toussaint while waiting for your birth???
Xi trid iktar mill-mummy thallilek kumment fuq il-blog fis-sebgha ta’ filghodu? Mela ha nfghidlek jien:
Mum leaves a comment on blog telling you a post is romantic and poetic – sweet.
Mum corrects your Maltese at least twice (hlejja poetic license ma :) ) – throwback to childhood.
Mum tells all the world of her eccentric disquisitions before settling for Jacques René – slightly embarassing, but still verging on sweet.
Loves me “just the same”. Priceless.
Love you too ma. (u ara min jikkumenta fuq dan l-uber corniness ghax nonxru).
Ottu kont tiġi kieku l-għażla waqgħat fuq Toussaint. Toussaint Otto Zammit. ;)
Toussaint Otto Zammit?
Nah – that would make him a bit of a TOZzer …
The U T
@ Jacques – I vote your mother’s comment the best in a long time.(Also due to the embarassment quotient – for you)
naqbel claire! such a great start to the day :)
Int iffastijat? Aħna niċċajtaw ta konna!
@ Jacques – Come back. We promise not to remind you of embarassing childhood episodes – though we’d love to read your mother’s blog about them….
