BTW Scott since you are frequently pushing Earl Grey tea, have I told you that his mansion is just a few miles up the road from us. They serve special tea sessions there.

Cool. Love Earl Grey tea. It's the blend that largely got me hooked on tea. Do you English know that another Earl Grey (forget if it was his son or grandson or what) was governor-general of Canada and our national football trophy is named for him? The Grey Cup was originally presented for rugby, IIRC, but once our maple-flavoured version of American football replaced rugby here, it switched sports.

Mets threw a no-hitter this weekend, albeit of the kind that takes 5 pitchers. It was fun to watch. Talia was napping on the couch and I told her, Wake up! You're about to experience Mets history! Her eyes appeared to be open as the final pitch as thrown, but I can't be sure.

I was still following the Jays when Stieb threw his no-hitter (1990). He had a few other games that came close, too, including a perfect game that was only broken up after two outs in the ninth. To this day, it's the Jays' only no-hitter. Big accomplishment for both the team and the pitcher(s).

Baking, flower arranging, German genealogy, writing. What can't this woman do? Stupendous Sara should be her title.😊

Good morning. Coffee is ready, hot tea is English Breakfast and Earl Grey, fresh pitcher of iced is in the fridge.

Welcome to May! So why am I getting April showers?

Bram Stoker's short story (originally meant as a chapter for Dracula) "Dracula's Guest" takes place on Walpurgis Night.

I am taking LaVey's advice and celebrating my birthday as a Satanic holiday (well, I'm taking the day off work) next week.

Have fun with your potting and hope the Liverpool game goes/went well (no idea when is the game)

Good morning (well, it's morning here right now). Coffee is ready, teas are Scottish Breakfast and Sunday Tea (orange pekoe with Bourbon vanilla). Fresh pitcher of iced tea is in the fridge and I have added a pitcher of real lemonade as well given that red, me, and likely others are going to be out in our greenhouses or yards.

Oh wow

Classics sounds like a fun major

My major wasn't nearly as fun .. double major in pre law and sports medicine

Odd double major there. So you can treat their injuries and then help them sue the person who hurt them? 🤣

Yeah, Classics was fun. I am kind of back at it listening to a podcast called The Ancients. It's officially ancient history in general (e.g. there's episodes on China and India from time to time) but the host is a fellow classicist so it leans heavily to Rome and Greece.

Good morning, everybody! Getting some lovely weather here as May approaches.

Coffee is brewed, there's Red Rose and Earl Grey for the tea crowd, plus a fresh pitcher of iced in the fridge. Everything seems well-stocked right now.

French Latin

French is mandatory in Ontario up to grade 10 (the joys of living in a bilingual country). I took it all the way to grade 13 (yes, Ontario had 5 years of high school back then). I took Latin from Grade 11-13 and that led me to majoring in Classics, heavily focussed on Latin and Roman History, for my BA.

I am feeling a headache looming. At least the weather is nice.

Talia is home, the cats are happy

Doesn't that qualify as therapy right there? 😋

ALSO has anyone notice comments being removed from their profiles? It looks like all comments are gone from mine that were new from when I returned?? No biggie just curious

My latest is 6 months old but I don't get many so probably that's accurate. There were problems with comments not all coming over when they converted from the old platform but that should be resolved. I think. You can always open a ticket if you want it looked into.

Sorry to hear how about all the cancer issues. Thoughts and good vibes coming your way. Sound like things are turning a corner anyway. And thanks for the cookies. nom nom nom

A Dutch singer who lives in Sweden and fronts a Finnish band is now singing in German. Floor Jansen: multinational, multilingual vocal powerhouse.

And on the home front in the Netherlands, she's been doing some radio and TV performances to promote her recent solo single.

And she's also now on the road with Nightwish, her regular gig.
