August
[edit]I was born on an August Bank Holiday, when it was a real bank holiday i.e. the last Monday in the month. It was a long hot day. The poor man was exhausted. After nine in the evening, his job done, he had to lie down. It was his first birth. He charged £2!
I cannot be angry because an August Bank Holiday is now the end of the month and not at the beginning. After all, August is a created month added to the old Julian Calendar, to celebrate an emperor. It helped to give us twelve months not ten. Twelve is a much more flexible number. Why were we not born with twelve fingures and toes.
Thus 10 would have twelve digits.
The three best things about August are:
- Sun in Spain
- Sand and sea in Spain
- Sangria
- Sand and sea in Spain
