My (English) friend (local) is going to a St. George's tea party tomorrow, held by another ex-pat!
I hope they have an enjoyable time!
Wondered how you'd handle it, Jams. Hope I don't have syphilis.

It was Earth Day over here. Maybe its just me, but I feel that's not quite enough. We need an Earth weekend, at least.
As he's Modica's saint too, we get canons at the crack of dawn [8 am], processions and the kids get a day off school!
Every day needs to be Earth Day sadly LB
