Somehow always right for a day when one happens to feel snowed in (even if in this case, it was raining outside and not snowing)... I'm not sure whether I first got 'cineast' from English context or if the word has for some reason become more popular in Swedish.

I did look it up before using it here, not feeling sure whether it was also used in English. A loan from French, it seems.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-63202403018804662132020-01-14T19:41:01.077+01:002020-01-14T19:41:01.077+01:00Meike, my brother's birthday has often been ki...Meike, my brother's birthday has often been kind of neglected through the years, as it is so close to Christmas. (Mine, on the other hand, was the same as our dad's; so never "just mine" either!)

Like, YP, I have a reasonable vocabulary but I had not heard the word 'cineast' either. As I know one (who was a teacher and is a grammar warrior) I shall test it out on him. Secretly I really hope he's never heard of it.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-25997220842808609462020-01-13T18:07:54.802+01:002020-01-13T18:07:54.802+01:00Even though I am English and spent much of my life...Even though I am English and spent much of my life teaching English, you have introduced me to a new word today - "cineast".

He is getting stronger every day. Now I feel like I can get on the computer again, and do some blogging. I love the movies you mentioned. Could see them over and over.Wandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941735389982354519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-14830784501597210732020-01-13T01:08:38.159+01:002020-01-13T01:08:38.159+01:00What a lovely time!
