No, it’s not Good Friday yet. ;)
I have two kids today, and for the first time since I started getting more than one back from school, they’ve latched on to the tablet and I’m not doing anything about it. Sigh. It was bound to happen sooner or later. :rolleyes:
Only another two weeks to go. :D:D

Hello roommates I hope you all have a wonderful Friday.
Winter is back in Germany.:(:(:( Temps dropped to chilly 2 C again and actually it is snowing. Bad, bad winter has chased the slightly touch of a weak spring away ! It is cold and wet and windy outside. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ! I hate it !:confused:
I have to work until tomorrow evening, but indoors ! That`s really soothing.

@Kristoff Lena, was it you that blow the cold and the snow in my direction ????:mad::mad::mad:

Actually, in the Bible, Saturday is the 7th day and Sunday the 1st day of the week :)
Very true. It was the Romans persecuting Christians which led to the Christians switch their sabbath to Sunday which was a Roman day off for sun worship or some such. I think it meant Christian worship was kess noticeable.

That's probably the true origin of the 2 day weekend. Saturday was the sabbath, but Sunday was when it was safer to worship.

Interesting too because of the affect it has had on calendars. Here in the UK, and undoubtedly across the European Union, a week runs from Monday to Sunday. You start work on Monday and religious observance is on Saturday or Sunday depending on your religion giving a two day end of the week or weekend. This standard has been adopted by the International Standards Organisation in ISO8601.

In the USA, Canada and Australia and some other parts of the world it runs from Sunday to Saturday which just seems odd, though more historically correct, to those of us following the ISO decree.

I don’t know. Was it me? It snowed here in the morning, but now it’s sunny. So maybe it was me? :oops:

Hmm. So you started it, sent it to Sabine and it is coming to us next. Hopefully it will fall mostly on France and there won't be much left

I’ll try to blow in the direction of France then. But not too hard. We don’t want it to end up in Spain. Don’t worry @Bee62, I’m going to huff and puff and blow...the snow away. ;)

Straight out into the Bay of Biscay, avoiding us completely, would be good :D
