Irish Census Time-Capsule
The 2022 Irish Census Form had a new 'Time-Capsule' question. If we chose to, we could write what our life was like in 2022. No-one would read these essay pages of the Census; they would all be put in a time-capsule, opened in one hundred years time, and then be made available to the public. (The Irish Census Form is anonymous, with only the address to identify it, but I reckon other records could be used to cross-reference and find the name of the inhabitants of an address.)

But For The Shortcut...
I was doing my weekly shop, with the pram. Town was bustling with tourists, and I was in power-through mode, and took the shortcut through Centra supermarket. I did a double-take, registering that Centra had created a new sit-down coffee shop, and then I did a triple-take, because I spotted two young men sitting in it that just had to be Indonesian. "Apakah kamu dari Indonesia?" I asked them, and one replied "Can you help me please?" I made my way over, and sat with them. They were indeed Indonesian, from Central Java. My second mother tongue is Indonesian, having picked it up as a young child, and these two Javanese lads preferred Javanese, but we could chat just fine in Bahasa Omong. Yudi did most of the talking, while Surono looked to be in shock, for he said barely a word, and unlike Yudi, did not seem to register the extreme unlikeliness of an Indonesian-speaking local finding them in their hour of need.
