adventure 30 March 2009
Meself and Himself had a little adventure on the way home this evening. I was over his neck of the woods to take my Russian lesson on his office computer and we went for a bite to eat thereafter. I neglected to use the loo in the lovely eatery (KESHIK on Leeson Street, for those of you who like tasty Mediterannean food at a keen price) and so found myself NEEDING to get the nearest, handiest bus home which was not the route we intended and we discovered that the bus driver was RUSSIAN! Rich had a great conversation with him and I said a few of my few words (and was understood) and I got a lot of what they were talking about. So hooray! Sergey, for it was he, was quite taken aback to meet 2 mad Irish types who are learning Russian, but a bit delighted too…as we were ourselves. He says he knows of only 2 other Russian drivers in the Dublin fleet and they are all in different garages throughout the town.
The only other gem I have for you is the wisdom that, as far as what wines ‘go’ with, the best rule of thumb is that white wine goes with carpets and red wine with linoleum – makes sense, eh?.
