The nuances of Persian idioms and phrases are such that they lose a lot of their intricacies when translated into another language. I often try to familiarise my non-Persian husband, so that he now is familiar with most of my “as we says”.

OK, So I've named this Ramblings at Midnight because I get my most lucid thoughts and clear articulations after I've lain down on bed and my poor husband is dying to sleep!

As it is I've forgotten most of these great sentences
