Cronica de quauques jorns ordinaris - Chronique de quelques jours ordinaires - Miquèla Stenta

July 5, Wednesday
Montpellier, again this morning, for some business of the Occitan teachers' association. The colleague who is so sad to retire. Another, young, who asks me for advice on how to mark a copy of the bac. My daughter who needs an advance of two months' rent and is silent about her family situation.
... eight chances out of ten, or two bad chances out of ten.

5 de julh, dimècres
Montpelhièr, aqueste matin encara, per quauques afars de l'associacion das professors d'occitan. La collèga, que li fa tant pena de partir a la retirada. Una autra, jove, que me demanda mon vejaire per notar una còpia de bac. La filla, qu'a de besonh que li avance dos meses d'afèrma, e que demòra muda sus sa situacion familiala.
... uòch bonas sòrts de dètz, o doas malas sòrts de dètz.

The author:
Miquèla Stenta, from Sète, spent two decades in the Limousin region, close to the "Château de Ventadour", which perhaps explains her troubadouresque inspiration. She has been a "cultural activist" for over fifty years. She has published on medieval society (she has also designed concerts and shows), modern literature (books and articles), and more personal writings.
