I have a vacation of Biblical proportions (forty days precisely), a car, and a plan - Baja! (In some language this is perhaps a palindrome. I will ask my friend Leon Noel of Glenelg, who speaks fluent Malayalam.) Yes: no less a plan than to drive my fairly new and moderately shiny Saturn down the coast, and down the coast, until we arrive somewhere

Well, I for one have not only heard of Catriona, but also read it and (gasp!) liked it.

Have fun! This sounds great. Joneses' translation is a good one; I have Ford, too. And you can read it in the original, no doubt.

When are you leaving?

[goliard]

I was planning to set out tomorrow morning, but it looks like rain, so probably Friday.

And you can read it in the original, no doubt.

Oh, yes, certainly. Ahem. In fact I haven't tried to read a word of Welsh since old Shisha's class at Huji when we were both whippersnappers. Traumatized, I suppose.

Not by Welsh, I hope. I can loan you my Pwyll, if you are so inclined. Or something else out of my selection of little red books.

The more I read Welsh, the less I know it. A phenomenon which remains, I believe, underexplored in professional literature.

Your reading list is excellent! If you get to the Yeats, you might also like to pick up a copy of Japanese Tales, edited by Royall Tyler. I recall the two books containing some fascinatingly parallel stories.

Interesting... I'll see if I can check it out.
