Happy Holidays, guys (to whom it may concern 
)! 
Hope your New Year wishes, decisions and all that stuff have already started to come true!
We celebrated New Year at home. I had never used vinegars in cuisine, so I even was thinking of "recycling" that little bottle - to give it as a present to somebody else, that's it. But then I thought that this was not fair, since the present was for Me!
And I was right. Aged Modena vinegar! That's "something", I must admit! 
Our neighbours were not noisy that night. All "Hurray!" and cracks of petards lasted for a few minutes after the midnight. Then there was silence. Klavka went to bed at her usual time and didn't hear even that.
Unfortunately, we were - and still are - a bit sick and didn't want to invite Klavka's classmate X and her mother L from the 8th floor for that evening. When in good health we sometimes go to their place. L has 11 years experience as a physician, but here she studies again to get licensed. Her husband is a post-doc at Maida, they stay here for more than a year. X makes the same mistakes as Klavka. First she says something quite sophisticated in Chinese, then "interprets that" into English - and says something too much far from the original. Klavka, in her turn, was asking for a roast beef meaning... strawberry juice. I have to contact Early Words.
