Got a note (via Linkedin of all places) from a friend from many lives ago who now lives in London.
I love that her nonnative (like mine) English is interspersed with long-forgotten (by me) words in other languages:
- mendokusai / めんどくさい (jp): annoying, pain-in-the-bum’some
- alverchi (az): trader, speculator, entrepreneur
It’s nice to be reminded that there are other people, like me, who don’t really belong anywhere, despite settled appearances.
She wants us to come visit. I really want to. Should I? Can I?
I really miss London, too…
