Good morning! Jerry is back on the road again today, metaphorically anyway; so I am on Hili Dialogue Duty for this morning. As always, Jerry will join us later on.
Over in Poland, Hili is thinking of herself again; although this time my sympathies lie with the cat. Sand in the bed is never a good experience.
Hili: Cyrus is digging again.
A: So what?
Hili: He’ll get himself mucky and I’ll have sand on my sofa.
In Polish:
Hili: Cyrus znowu kopie doły.
Ja: No to co?
Hili: Upaprze się i będę miała piasek na sofie.
As a felid lagniappe, Jerry found these pictures of cats with unusual markings that don’t appear to be dyed, unlike the unfortunate Pikachu cat.


And now for something completely different. I was listening to this last night and I thought I would share it with you for two reasons:
- one, it’s a lovely tune;
- two, this is what people sound like in the Republic of Ireland which is a whole different country from Northern Ireland. There’s even a bit of Irish thrown in there for good measure.
IARLA Ó LIONÁIRD & STEVE COONEY performs the song “TÁ DHÁ GHABHAIRÍN BHUÍ AGAM (THE GOAT SONG)”
There are more details about the performers and Balcony TV if you click through to the More section on Youtube.

Good music and some strange looking cats, other than Hili, of course, who always looks best.
Our d*g took over the sofa years ago, so we don’t expect it to be very clean. You get used to it.
I’m looking forward to visiting Ireland next month. I’ll try to take in some of that charming music if the timings right.
What a pretty garden setting to Hili’s photo!
Despite a painful knee, I couldn’t help but tap my feet and do a sitting dance to that music. How infectious!
Love Ireland , my ancestral Home, if you ever go , the Music generally starts about 10pm in the Pubs, there is no particular size to the Band, people just wander in and join in could be a Penny whistle , or a Violin or a Bohdran, makes no odds.
