What is April that most English of months Check out what the children of woodlands have to say.
Its the April showers that bring the May flowers. And so far its been very Wet rain snow and hail. So what happened to Global Warming then the weather has been much the same as any traditional April.
The derivation of the name (Latin Aprils) is uncertain. The traditional etymology from the Latin aperire, "to open,"April was sacred to Venus,
The Anglo-Saxons called April Oster-monath or Eostur-monath, the period sacred to Eostre or Ostara, the pagan Saxon goddess of spring, from whose name is derived the modern Easter. St George‘s day is the twenty-third of the month; and St Mark‘s Eve, with its superstition that the ghosts of those who are doomed to die within the year will be seen to pass into the church, falls on the twenty-fourth. April is known to be "National Poetry Month" The Finnish called this month Huhtikuu, or ‘Burnwood Month’, when the wood for beat and burn clearing of farmland was felled.
Mean while having been doing a bit of child carer for friends in Amsterdam for a week As the month began I missed my Mums Birthday she is an April fool as she was born on the first of the month in 1924 I left my sisters and my brothers to take care of her and my dad while I became Pedro Poppins and did my magical nanny bit for the beloved amber now Five months old.
Mean while here in London the Olympic Torch and the protests over Tibet reached a climax well what do the Chines expect or for that matter the Olympic committee expect the Olympics are a chance to protest the ills of the host nation . Thats what they are there for as far as I can see its one of the few chances that the population have to expose the corruption and evils of all the goverments of the world after all power croupts and absolute power corupts abslolutly and what is a government but absoluite power in its raw form.
After all
TIBET AND CHINA ARE ONLY PART OF GREATER MONGOLIA AND HAVE BEEN SINCE THE TIME OF GHEGIS KHAN. Are they not ?
I some times wonder what the chines would do if the chines migration had to return to the home land given how many of that population had to return to the home land though they would not be in such a bad position as the United Kingdom if all our people had to return to the home land in the uk it would possibly be standing room only. Taking turns to lie down and sleep.
I don’t think that any national leader should boycotte the Olympics but I do feel that they should go with a mandate from their individual nations to support of protest against the Chines treatment of Tibet. I think Gordon Brown would look good being filmed warped in a free Tibet flag at the opening and closing ceremonies.
