Beautiful December

Now, when the garden awaits the return of spring
Now, when the silence is deep and blue
Now, when the winter has cast her spell again
Beautiful December, Beautiful December

Here, where the snow is as soft as a woolly lamb
Here, where the nightfall is deep and blue,
Here, where the stars are so bright, you reach for them
Beautiful December, Beautiful December

Child, may you sleep in gentle peace tonight
Dream of songs that rise on silken wings!
When you wake, enchanted by the snowspun light
Sing the songs that came to you in dreams,
Your beautiful December dreams
August

    Dear diary, after joining the queue at 4am, I got a seat on the Nilgiri Historical Train to go up to Ooty. Yesterday when i went to book my ticket, they told me that there were no seats left. I was given a 'wait list' number 88, but as number ten in the queue that worked out to be first come, first served, it all worked out well.

    I'm a big kid when it comes to steam trains. This one is even more unique as it runs on a special ratchet to get it up the tracks as the line is so steep.

    Hi Diary!
    The next two weeks will be very quiet because of the recessed end of year.
    But tomorrow will be short, I'll expend almost all day cooking to receive my guests at the Christmas night.

    What is that red one on the upper left corner, near to apple and above the nuts? :-?
  • [Deleted User][Deleted User] Posts: 657 ✭
    Watermelon maybe? :-?
    Maybe they made it like circles.
  • [Ex Member][Ex Member] Posts: 0 Inactive
    You are right @Nil, it can be watermelon, 'melancia' in Portuguese, I think 'watermelon' is a very weird word. :-B
  • [Deleted User][Deleted User] Posts: 657 ✭
    yes it is weird.
    Water melon called "hendevooneh" or "hendevaneh" in persian.

    What is Yalda @nil , I didn't get it?
  • [Deleted User][Deleted User] Posts: 657 ✭
    @science24 Yalda is the name of an event. We celebrate it on the longest night of the year and last day of fall.

  • [Ex Member][Ex Member] Posts: 0 Inactive
    One question @Nil. Arabic and Persian are the same lenguage?
  • mheredgemheredge Posts: 40,988 ✭✭✭✭
    Dear Diary, celebrated Christmas in a Buddhist monastery, listening to the Dalai Lama. Christmas lunch was a tofu and vegetable stew. It wasn't quite your roast pork @Helvio, but very nice all the same.

    No @Helvio. They aren't. The alphabets of both languages are almost same. But they are different.
  • [Deleted User][Deleted User] Posts: 657 ✭
    @Helvio:
    ایا شما فرانسوی بلد هستین؟ means can you speak french, not are you french.
  • [Ex Member][Ex Member] Posts: 0 Inactive
    HI @Marianne!!!

    You had a nice Christmas, and I also like tofu and vegetable stew.

    :)

    Excuse me @Nil, I am not good in Persian yet. :D
  • [Deleted User][Deleted User] Posts: 657 ✭
    That's okay.
    Are you learning Persian @helvio? :-/
  • [Ex Member][Ex Member] Posts: 0 Inactive

    As ever, I was kidding. :D

    But one day, somehow, you and @Aladdin must teach me the alphabet at least. ;)
  • [Deleted User][Deleted User] Posts: 657 ✭
