If I'm not careful....

This blog could end up overloaded with pictures of our holographic cat, Jodo. 

He is absolutely gorgeous and adorable. He has damaged my chair, though. It turns out there is a setting that makes his claws harmless and we hadn't enabled it. Oops. I wonder what else he's had his claws into. 

The amazing blanket he is cuddled up next to was crocheted by Ranih. She is getting very good at her crafts. She tells me that the community she goes to, the Craft and Chat group or as Ranih calls it, Stitch and Bitch, is extremely supportive. 

She has knitted me four pairs of socks and our esteemed Governor, Maura, has requested a pair to be made in a deep yellow colour. 

Looking forward to Jake Sisko's arrival next week and the look on his face when I introduce myself.

What Do We Know

Image
Well, I've done a little bit of research and Rom is still the current Grand Nagus of the Ferengi Alliance at the ripe age of 137 with his wife Leeta (never quote a lady's age). From what I have read, he has made a few reforms to Ferengi society and the Rules of Acquisition. I won't go into details here, but suffice to say, they look like they are definitely an improvement with room to grow. I wonder if he has time to see an old friend and if so, it would make me the first Dax ever to visit Ferenginar.

who am I?

It's me, Dax. I'm Orzal, the 10th host of the Dax Symbiont. I followed on from Ezri in 2462, she was 108. To say that it's an honour to be the current host is an understatement.  I met my fiancée, Ranih, in 2466, just four years later and I proposed to her, as the sun rose over the Fa'hari Mountains on Trill, early this year. Our wedding is next year in the summer. Lots to do plenty to plan and sort. So, we live and work on the colony, our home for the foreseeable future. In my job, I do get a slight perk. Every third week, get to work from our orbital station. From there I enjoy a view of Docosie III and any amazing ships that visit.  Best get back to work - Dax.

Panpipes

Image
Rahni and I went to a concert last night. The music was something we had recently heard and become interested in, panpipe music from the Andes (that's on Earth) We recently heard a piece of this music whilst at a local café and we found it strangely captivating and beautiful.  The piece we heard was called "Amores Hallaras" by the artist "Incantation". The title is Spanish and translates as " You will find (other/more) loves ," often used in songs and poetry to suggest finding new affection after loss, meaning "you'll find another love" or "many loves you will find" .  Ranih loves a tune called "Cacharpaya" (primarily means a farewell party or send-off, often with music and dancing, especially in Andean regions of South America.) All in all, a very enjoyable evening.
