I don't have any books written in Latin but I've a pile of books written in Bulgarian because of where I live. I enjoy trying to translate but I couldn't honestly say that any of them are page turners.
Beer's only really caught on in Bulgaria in the last thirty years apparently, so what we have is a copy of the wishy washy dribble that's typical of other south European countries. But the wine here's gorgeous and also cheap and when we're out for a drink we tend to go for the rakia.
Having said all of that, I'd kill for a pint of Guinness.
It's Guinness's porter that has me this way
For it's sweeter than buttermilk and stronger than tay
But when in the morning I feel kinda rough
Me curse on Lord Iveagh who brews the damn stuff
Drink it up, men, it's long after ten
You and your ditties, classic! This one makes me think of something we say: "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" - the customary time for happy hour when it's two for one at the bar.
Sent me home from work because of a chest cold. People so afraid of sickness these days. It's a chest cold, not Ebola, and I was wearing a mask. Came home, took a nap, pissed about the PTO I'm gonna have to use, anyway, Dubliners, made me think of the Irish which made me think of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish which made me think why they're called the Fighting Irish? Notre Dame is a French cathedral. There's a steaming hot controversy about Notre Dame not making the playoffs . . . words and mascots and abbreviations, language pervades everything. The Dolphins are the 'phins, the Giants, the G-men, the Jaguars, the Jags, the Cowboys, the 'boys, the Chargers, the bolts humma humma. We give things precise words and then don't use them. I hate being sick. I'd rather work it off.
Sorry, really. I accidentally swallowed my Zoloft with vodka. Took me off the radar. Not coughing up buckets of phlegm anymore and will report to employee health Monday and they will determine if I can come back. How's the weather in Bulgaria?
Glad to hear you're still with us. I thought you'd chopped off a vital organ with your lawnmower or drowned in snot or something. Bulgarian weather's a bit shit at the moment. It's been foggy for days and hovering around 0°C. Is it beach weather where you are? Where is it that you are?
It's not warm enough for bikini clad girls strolling down the shore line and it's not cold enough for them to bundle themselves in a coats either. Right now it's 59 F and clear and sunny. I'm in Florida.
Back to work this morning. Decided to quit my part time 2nd job. Pays better to work overtime at my full time job. Came up to my foreman, said I'm clear, good to go. He said That's awesome, man, really happy for you, now get your ass up in that crane. My team did win.
Cleared to work this morning. Quit my part time job. Make more money working overtime at my full time job. Went to my foreman said I'm clear, good to go. He said That's awesome, man, glad to hear it. Now get your ass up in that crane. My team won.
I don't have a job at all. I retired ten years ago. But I've been mad busy today. The snow's coming soon, possibly tomorrow, so things in the garden needed doing / putting away. The rushing about caused by leaving everything until the last minute warms you up.
I'm on restriction for a week. Allowed to work on a regular 8 hr shift, no overtime, must wear a mask, humma humma. It's 74F here. Only getting down to the mid-50s later. I still sleep with a fan on.

Who says latin is dead?
Vivimus
Written on the inside of my Latin textbook at school a long long time ago...
Latin is a language
As dead as dead can be
First it killed the Romans
And now it's killing me

I have a latin schoolbook from the 50s. Got it at Goodwill. 5 hardcovers for $10 or 10 paperbacks for $5

Stoma
The ditty's something I couldn't take any credit for myself. It's a verse from a traditional Irish song made popular by the Dubliners in the 1960s.
Yer Beatles and yer Stones... pah!

Notre Dame's also a Catholic girls' school in Leeds. Vanessa O' Connell went there. Do you know her? She's class... or at least she was in 1980.
Oh, and get well soon!

Mowed the backyard. I'm gonna work this shit cold out. Never heard of her. Class = pretty?
Splendour
Our garden was too foggy and icy for working in today. I made a list of things to do out there tomorrow. So I'm exhausted now.
If someone or something is class it means they're really good or really nice in many ways.

Football time. Watch the game while eating pizza then go to bed and hopefully work again tomorrow.

My football was yesterday. Glory Glory Leeds United beat Crystal Palace 4-1. Thrashed them in fact. Dominic Calvert-Lewin is the new god.
I hope your team wins.
I hope your hope for a return to work works.
