ProZ.com powwow: Language PicNic : bring your kids along
September 28, 2013, 12:30 pm
PortugalSão Pedro do SulIn personEnglish
28/09/2013, right between the European Language Day (26) and Saint Hieronimus (30), patron of all translators...
We could not miss the opportunity, but actually this get-together was not planned because of these special days, at all. Mere coincidence...
________________________
Quinta do Queijão : our favourite and quiet spot between peaceful woods and vineyards...
________________________
This is the second time the writer Annegret Heinold will invite us for a picnic in her fabulous "Quinta do Queijão", located near São Pedro du Sul, somewhere in the mountains between Aveiro and Viseu, and that's an opportunity we sure won't want to miss !
On the other hand, it will be an excellent way for her and everyone else to know a bit better the eventual other translators and linguists and expats and simply language lovers scattered and hidden here and there between the trees :-)
Besides the pic-nic itself, we can go for a walk in the woods and have coffee at some other special place, somewhere in the vicinity.
This will be a very special day.
Loads of fun in sight !
See you there !
Please note:
This is a community picnic, everyone brings one or two of his/her own self-made edible and/or drinkable speciality to share with everyone else.
PS : The get-together will take place at someone's very home, in her lovely garden. By respect for her privacy, more details about where it is exactly and how to get there etc... will be sent by e-mail to those registering for the Powwow, only.
PS 2 : for those registered with ProZ and (especially) for the others, please register and tell us something about yourself via the following online form : https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1UWaaX31ckIt_YQ_-k34-LEJD5krSMuTdgGCL7CFt09E/viewform .
We will publish, as time goes by, some statistics about what kind of person is going, big or small, young or old, and talking which language (see in the comments below).

a mix of food and drinks of the world... a little bit of everything...
Sep 20, 2013
Although it might be interesting to have a "salade niçoise" tasting session with a variety of different ways to do it, let's try to avoid that everyone at the same time brings a "salade niçoise" , so maybe it would be a good idea that we write what we plan to bring along in the "comments" field above.

Ah, but this "food and drinks of the world" does not mean whatever you bring along must be extremely exotic or original. Plain old and good recipies of whatever you usually do for yourself at home are perfectly ok.
O que conta é o convívio, mais de que a comida, né ?
Ah, also, don't bring too much food, just about the quantity you would eat yourself, or just a bit more to make it shareable with everyone else. We would not like to have too much leftovers to get wasted afterwards, if there is too much of everything.
Bis dann ! / Até já ! / See you there ! / À bientôt ! ▲ Collapse

De momento somos uns 15 adultos por aí, duas crianças pequenas mais um cão, de várias nacionalidades e falando Português, Inglês, Alemão, Espanhol e Francês. E este pessoal todo vem das zonas de Aveiro, Viseu, Porto e até... Évora.
Tal como o Annegret, alguns dos participantes para já inscritos, de forma às vezes mais séria às vezes menos séria, são tradutores, outros escritores, outros artistas plásticos, outros professores de línguas, mais a maior parte são mortais comuns ou menos comuns (até porque o encontro também foi publicado noutro sítio de que nesta plataforma), mas tendo todos em comum uma certa curiosidade pelo outro, pela língua e a cultura do outro e, evidentemente, pela culinária do outro
Em termos de tempo, "Madame Météo" para já diz que vai haver bom tempo nessa tarde. Esperemos que ela não se enganou Mas mesmo que haja alguma chuvinha de vez em quando, o sítio tem abrigo que chegue para nos proteger a todos

So far it seems we will be about 12 people, with ages ranging from 7 to 50-something, native languages including Portuguese, German, French and English, plus Spanish, Russian and Galician as possibly spoken languages, and residing around São Pedro do Sul, Viseu, Aveiro, Porto and Vale de Cambra.
About the weather forecasts... well... let's hope they will get better than the current "somehow cloudy, some rain now and then, some Sun now and then too"... But the ... See more

About the weather forecasts... well... let's hope they will get better than the current "somehow cloudy, some rain now and then, some Sun now and then too"... But the place is prepared for a warm and cosy and nice atmosphere anyway, even if it gets really lousy out there, so for the time being there is no plan to cancel the "picnic", that might turn into an "inside-home picnic" in the worst case, which can be cool too
