Sant Jordi 2021: ¿Por qué se regala un libro y una rosa el día de San Jorge? please log in to view this image Should we celebrate St George's Day as the day of the book with a rose? Let's make it a really special day in our schools as reading has enabled many people escape their modest upbringing. For me, it brings enlightenment as well as joy.
Should we be celebrating a man who killed a wild animal needlessly? That dragon was denied its life just for sport and then idolised by a nation for such a cruel deed. I thought we were far more enlightened these days. This man and his deed should be wiped from history.
I am very pleased to report that due to Covid and Brexit the production of beer has plummeted meaning there is an acute shortage of yeast leading to a rapid fall of in the production of that ghastly stuff Marmite. There is a God in heaven.
I just watched Promising Young Woman. Anyone else seen it yet. I found it very powerful. It takes a while to get your man head off (not all men are like that!) but the point it makes about men empowering other men and abusing women is really effective.
Michael Collins the most famous man to get so near to the moon, but not get on it has died aged 90 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-56921562 Only Buzz left now from Apollo 11. Truly inspirational men that not only made history but inspired all mankind.
There were two lovers, who were really into spiritualism and reincarnation. They vowed that if either died, the other one remaining would try to contact the partner in the other world exactly 30 days after their death. Unfortunately, a few weeks later, the young man died in a car crash. True to her word, his sweetheart tried to contact him in the spirit world exactly 30 days later. At the seance, she called out, "John, John, this is Martha. Do you hear me?" A ghostly voice answered her, "Yes Martha, this is John. I can hear you." Martha tearfully asked, "Oh John, what is it like where you are?" "It's beautiful. There are blue skies, a soft breeze, sunshine most of the time." "What do you do all day?" asked Martha. "Well, Martha, we get up before sunrise, eat a good breakfast, and there's nothing but making love until noon. After lunch, we nap until two and then make love again until about five. After dinner, we go at it again until we fall asleep about 11 p.m." Martha was somewhat taken aback. "Is that what heaven really is like?" "Heaven? I'm not in heaven, Martha." "Well, then, where are you?" "I'm a rabbit in Arizona."
This kind of misogyny is unacceptable. We are all working hard to change attitudes towards women particularly by our young boys.
