Damon all that figuring comes from phases of the moon too. I once

knew more about it but I can't remember how it went but initially it counted by lunar movements. However, the dates will not stay the same on lunar dating. This is an interesting post. I knew nothing of the other dates you have listed.

Dave...

...I never actually got offered Latin which, considering the school I went to, is a bit odd, in retrospect.

The only Latin I know is Nil Illigitimae Carborundum - Don't Let the Bastards Grind You Down!

Thanks for dropping in

Ah! Very interesting Damon!

I looked at the calendar this morning and thought it's the "Ides of March!"  It took me back to my Shakespeare studies but now I know more!  And I agree with Dave....Latin was a cool subject!

Damon, Ides already knew some of it, but that was a lovely little lesson.

Reminded me of my old Latin teacher who used to fall asleep whilst teaching us. Shame that subject is out of fashion nowadays. I learned more about the English language in Latin than I did in English. And more History too.
