Still under the weather veering between sweats and shivers, but it’s potentially entering the final phlegmy stages. I’m all about the steam inhalation and cough syrup today. Get that shit moving and out of my lungs please.
We had the great-neph over for a bit of half-term monitoring, hence Adventure Time on the telly listing below. I also shared with him my shockingly recent realisation that the 9th, 10th 11th and 12th months of the year are named seven, eight, nine and ten in Latin which blew his 9 year old mind. At least he won’t spend 40 years in ignorance like me.
The 10 year calendar is kinda interesting. The Romans had a thing for decimals, so 10 months made them happy, but there are 12 lunar cycles in a year, so what about the spare two? Well, they happen in midwinter when nothing happens anyway, so who gives a fuck?
