Last night, I was buying veggies at an Asian market. There was a barrel of fresh bean sprouts by the meat counter (right in front of the organ display), but I didn't see any scoop, so I just plunged in barehanded and grabbed a fistful. The butchers' chatter became subdued and I realised what I was supposed to put a plastic bag on my hand first. (You turn it inside out over your hand, seize the veggies, and turn it around so that the veggies are now inside the bag and your hand isn't. I've seen it done before, I simply forgot.)

D'OH!

Today, I'm practicing the Welsh analytic passive with cael "get, obtain". For instance: Caed ei ddihatru a ei anfon i 'mhabell i! "Have him stripped and sent to my tent!" (Lit.: "Get his undressing and his sending to my tent!")
