Celebrate or don't celebrate, whichever is your choice... nobody's forcing you one way ot the other
...the feast day of the patron saint of syphilitics
My (English) friend (local) is going to a St. George's tea party tomorrow, held by another ex-pat!
ReplyDeleteI hope they have an enjoyable time!
ReplyDeleteWondered how you'd handle it, Jams. Hope I don't have syphilis.
ReplyDeleteI hoope not too James!

ReplyDeleteAs 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!
ReplyDeleteEvery day needs to be Earth Day sadly LB
