Greetings
To family and friends in Warsaw and Krakow, none of whom got a card from me as I never remember that Easter calls for greetings of this nature, thank you so much for your messages and let me just say:
Wesołych świąt wielkanocnych, smacznego jajka i mokrego dyngusa
Out of kindness to those who think I am making it all up and it is all gibberish, let me inform you that the above is a traditional Polish Easter greeting, translated to mean: (May you have) merry Easter holidays, a delicious egg and a wet Dyngus.*
*On the meaning of Smigus Dyngus, see post of April 1.
