Tosha was very pleased to continue with our current project, though I had to stop earlier than our usual. Oh! I didn't tell you that: he's teaching me Arabic, which has the benefit of being distracting, and actually useful, since there's a number of astronomy texts that have never been translated into English. (Or Latin or German, for that matter, and if I'm going to learn a new language, might as well go for the original.)
I've gotten as far as almost making sense out of the alphabet. Maybe. Every time I turn round, there's some new bit to master, but that's mostly to the good right now. Anyway, your comment about the books makes me smile nearly as much as the memory of him singing children's songs to me (entirely straight-faced, mind you). We are, at least, never bored when we're talking.
Let me think about the weather question. I keep thinking there's something in the guild library I had my hand on, but I won't be back there for two weeks. Something about which pattern the winds are blowing at particular points in each season. I don't know, it seemed as much divination as anything, and I can't even remember whether what I heard about it was good or bad right now.
I do feel a little better now I've kept my promise to Delilah and come to see you (as she said Tuesday, she's a Healer, and can suggest, but she's not my Healer, with all that implies.) I just wish something could budge the real problem.
On that budget request: do you see an increase in other expenses once people are outside more? Which is to say, is it really that much more in winter than in spring?
