４．しゃしんを撮る　｢チーズ｣と言う

And then I subsequently got distracted by house buying crap.



Beidh muid ag obair inniu. We will be working today.
Beidh muid ag fágáil inniu. We will be leaving today.
Beidh muid ag fágáil anocht. We will be leaving tonight.
Beidh siad ag fágáil amárach. They will be leaving tomorrow.
Beidh siad ag fanacht amárach. They will be staying tomorrow.
Beidh mé ag féachaint amárach. I will be looking tomorrow.
Beidh mé ag foghlaim Arabís amárach. I will be learning Arabic tomorrow.

Bhí mé ag foghlaim Séapáinis. I was learning Japanese.
Bhí mé ag éisteacht. I was listening.
Bhí muid ag fágáil. We were leaving.
Bhí muid ag féachaint. We were looking.
Bhí siad ag ól deoch. They were having a drink.


And every once in a while you wander into someone's response to a question that is so patronizing, so simplified, so teacher-talking-down-to-the-students that you just want to go oh honey. just how stupid do you think I am? Bonus points if they don't seem to have any information beyond the baby steps you've already mastered. There's a lot of ways to give advice, even simple beginning-steps advice that the person may already know, without coming across as patronizing. People do it on my journal all the time! *waves to awesome flist* And yet sometimes, some people just manage to push all my oh, honey buttons. And then I bang my head on the desk, bite my tongue, and rant to you guys.

But then I had Neil Gaiman on Craig Ferguson to watch this morning and they cure a lot of ills and irritations. Also, there is a haggis. And for the next five minutes all I could say was HAGGIS IN THE TARDIS.

Right. Today is a ... looks like a middling busy day at work. Which hopefully means more stuff written and maybe some actual factual filing done. Gasp. Shock. Things are proceeding on houses, but nothing terribly interesting yet.
