Well, my employers at the university want me to come in on Monday for a bit of a training session, apparently, and so I can know a little more about the labs and what sort of equipment they will be dealing with. I am kind of excited about it, actually. I really miss my work at home, and I know this will not really be all that similar, but it should

Aw, tired of me already? *chuckles a little* I'm happy that you're excited about your new job. I know that you'll be fantastic at it.

As far as I know, I haven't heard much about there being one... There were always little Spring festivals in Resembool, mostly by the local farmers, but nothing like May Day.

[lostforeigner]

::smiles:: Danke, I hope so. And come on, you of all people cannot blame me for wanting to get out a bit. But you do not have much longer to wait before you can go to work too, of course. It will be nice.

Hm... A shame. Well, maybe we could invite some friends over for lunch or dinner or something, at least?

[ipwnturtles]

I'm not blaming you for anything. *grins teasingly* I can't wait until I can start up work again... It'll help me take my mind off of things. Sitting around here has given me too much time to think.

Could we? I really wouldn't mind making some dinner for them or stuff like that.

[lostforeigner]

Oh good. ::grins back:: Ja, I bet so. But then again, it has certainly given you plenty of time to read, which is at least useful.

It would be fun, I think. We just need to decide who to invite...

[olderforeigner]

I'm glad to hear you got the job, Alfons. Good luck with it. Um... will you still be having lunch at the library with me, during those days...?

[lostforeigner]

Ah... I might be able to, still, but I will have to leave about fifteen minutes earlier than I usually would, so I can make it to work on time. But I think that should work... Maybe I will spend more time with you on the weekends to make up for it, if that is alright.

[olderforeigner]

Oh... that's fine. I really appreciate your visits, you know that. And I would love to have you over, I - I really would.

[lostforeigner]

Alright then... I will do whatever I can to find time to spend with you, of course. I would be around a lot more often if I knew Edward would be okay by himself...

*cocks head curiously* What is Mayday?

[lostforeigner]

The first day of May. At home, they throw a big festival all over town and the children dance around the maypole in the square. It is a celebration of spring that is a bit late in the season, I suppose, but it really does not start to warm up until then, like here.

[can_i_eat_it]

Huh... is there food?

[lostforeigner]

Ja, there certainly is.

[poisonous_womb]

Oh, yes! May Day is approaching quite quickly isn't it, darling? I remember the good ol' days, dancing naked around the maypole... *sighs wistfully*

[lostforeigner]

...Naked? Your Germany really was a lot different.

[poisonous_womb]

Well, I don't think that part was necessarily traditional, darling. It was more like my slut-bunny had received an old stripper pole from his brother and I thought it would be lovely to set up and decorate.

[lostforeigner]

...I see.

[unsuremechanic]

That's good to hear! Good luck on your new job.

Hmm, I haven't heard of May Day before... What kind of festival is it?

[lostforeigner]

Danke!

Ah, a festival to celebrate spring, mostly. There is a huge maypole in the town square that the children dance around, weaving ribbons around it. And then there is food and music and all of those sorts of things.

[unsuremechanic]

*smiles* That sounds like a lot of fun. It's a shame there aren't any festivals here like that.

[lostforeigner]

Ja, there seems to be a definite lack in holidays here. It is kind of sad. ::chuckles::
