:slips into new Taverna to await Pascha whisky:

 

[Knowledge3]

* can I have a budweiser select*

I'm preparing for divine liturgy tomorrow.

 

[Matrona]

w00t! Fresh Taverna!

 

[Anhelyna]

took a bit of work at the end - but we got there in the end.

A nice clean shiny Taverna for Great and Holy Week

Just done did it!!

Awww, how quaint!

Just heard the BBC radio turnover.

God Save the Queen!
The chimes of St Stephen's Tower (known to most as 'Big Ben').
ding dong ding dong...ding dong ding dong.
"BBC Radio 4, It is Midnight"
!!!!DONG!!!!
"The News at midnight"
!!!!DONG!!!!

 

[Dewi Sant]

Of course, it is horribly disrespectful to sit during the national anthem.

All stand!

1
God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen:
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us:
God save the Queen.
2
O Lord, our God, arise,
Scatter her enemies,
And make them fall.
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix,
God save us all.
3
Thy choicest gifts in store,
On her be pleased to pour;
Long may she reign:
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice
God save the Queen.

(just to be controversial...I'll include the anti-scot verse )


Lord, grant that Marshal Wade,
May by thy mighty aid,
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush and like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Scots to crush,
God save the Queen!

 

[Matrona]

Aaaah... what a good day I've had. It's Lazarus Sa-da-tay, so there was DL, and I found my laundry quarters so I can have nice clean clothes for Holy Week.

 

[Dewi Sant]

BTW, the Anti-Scot verse isn't sung, it was proposed but not put into practice (thankfully).

My favourite line is the second

2
O Lord, our God, arise,
Scatter her enemies,
And make them fall.
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix,
God save us all.



So true

 

[RobNJ]

Or, as it's sung on THIS side of the Atlantic:

My country,' tis of thee,
sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing;
land where my fathers died,
land of the pilgrims' pride,
from every mountainside let freedom ring!

2. My native country, thee,
land of the noble free, thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
thy woods and templed hills;
my heart with rapture thrills, like that above.

3. Let music swell the breeze,
and ring from all the trees sweet freedom's song;
let mortal tongues awake;
let all that breathe partake;
let rocks their silence break, the sound prolong.

4. Our fathers' God, to thee,
author of liberty, to thee we sing;
long may our land be bright
with freedom's holy light;
protect us by thy might, great God, our King.

Congratulations.

I think I best tidy my room so I don't have a messy room for Holy Week.

 

[Dewi Sant]

I didn't know the U.S. had a song to go with the tune.

It's nice, but it sort of misses the point



Long reign King George I of the U.S.A.

 

[Dewi Sant]

(By which I mean Washington.....not Bush)

Well, my best friend is taking me and some others out for dinner tonight (hopefully). It will be good to get out of the house and in the company of others.

I took the kids to see Meet the Robinsons this afternoon. It was pretty funny.

I just hope that very soon the pain will subside. It's been going on for a very long time now. That's all I was really thinking the past couple of days....is that I just want the pain to go away.

 

[Dewi Sant]

I saw a brief trailor for that film. It looked good, I assume it is aimed at the same audience as 'Finding Nemo'.


I just can't stop thinking about Robinsons cordial when I hear of that film though.

Which by the way, has a Royal Warrant

Get out, have a good time, try not to spend too much time by yourself for a bit. Just relaxing will help, though I advise against any drinking when a person's upset, since alchohol tends to increase whatever mood you're already in.

Howdy, folks! In case anyone is interested, the veggie burgers at Fuddrucker's are awful. I'm glad this is the last "famiy night out" during Lent. Not many places have fast-friendly foods.

Definitely no drinking for Photini. I want to make it to church tomorrow. And as much as I can during Holy Week.
