When I started this blog I honestly didn’t expect many from outside my own circle of friends to be reading it. This has now caused a slight problem as many of you have no notion what an eejit is …..
I thought I would clarify 🙂
URBAN DICIONARY:
eejit;
Irish slang for idiot. Also used in Scotland. Often used affectionately.
eg.
“Paddy you eejit!”
“Don’t touch that! Look what you’ve done now you eejit!”
“George W Bush, what an eejit!”
There are loads of eejit types.
Buck eejit, Complete eejit, Mad eejit, Drunken eejit, and feckin eejit to name a few..
I took the title ‘Bonsai eejit’ as I’m told I tend to be self deprecating both with regards to bonsai and life in general. I personally think it’s because I’m not actually that good at it and have much to learn.
I have no issue with being called an eejit but Ian will also suffice 🙂
Bonsai Eejit 
Hello Ian.
Many apologies.
It was a mistake, I was thinking in the name of the blog.
It was not intentional in any way ..
Once again I apologize and a big greeting.

🙂 It’s not a problem my friend, no apology required. I get it all the time and I thought it would make an interesting post for today.
I thought most of my English friends already knew what it meant, but it looks as if this post has become quite educational 😀

come on Ian , all your ‘ english ‘ friends already knew you actually were an eejit 🙂 actually you are way too modest but you are right we all have much to learn , about everything !! there are already way too many folk who are not modest enough about their talents !!
are you seeing signs of an early autumn over with you ! we are here , already have an Ulmus glabra bonsai completely devoid of leaves , plenty of buds formed for next year though.

LOL Peter, Modesty isn’t very common in general with truly artistic and talented people 🙂
Signs of Autumn, absolutely. What a strange year! I think we are now paying for two hard Winters!! Wych Elms, Hawthorn, crab apple and a few others here seem to be changing sooner than normal. Even a few Beech are hinting at it! I’ll maybe post a few pics. Just had 2 facet joint injections on my neck this morning and am feeling rather sorry for myself! Might get the camera out tomorrow.
